welcome to the club.

[rokkitt]

hey everyone,


thanks for the kind words!


I really am outta my mind with this thing

I bought some new roundwounds, ernie ball 100/80/65/45

it has flatwounds on it now, dont know the size.....


but first thing, is I am gonna put on those strings, and give the bass a good cleaning....


and then I gotta give it a name.....do you have a name for your ric?


and.....the electronics are kinda noisy, so I was gonna put contact spray cleaner on the pots.....


and how do I adjust the intonation and the action? I wanna do an in home setup, and get familiar with the bass...

then maybe take it to a ric expert here in NYC, anyone know who to take something like this to and get a real pro setup?



so, in summary


***clean and new strings
enjoy
***fix noisy electronics
enjoy
***do a basic setup
enjoy
****do a real pro setup
enjoy



THEN....gotta get directions to AMPEG BLVD!


any other advice, besides ENJOY?!?!?


OH, can the dude with THREE 4003 MG/BT rics, set up and take a group photo? sorry to be so bold, but that would be
