Thanks for all beautiful comments. I am happy with all my rick-o-bros:D
Yes 4004L is Mr.Wilder's.thanks for this well done bass to him.

The Laredo used to look like this before I sold it to Dane:

Congrats Babur, excellent selection!

[rickomania1970]

Yes it is a good selection for its well done work and amazing tone. i said why RIC do not make 4004s like other series. This bass done as I want to see. Dane thought like me:)
IN345 Joey. I use only thomastiks for my other basses too but I want to learn your comments about these strings.

[kiramdear]

I love Dane's conversion of that 4004. For me it represents the best of both worlds. I could do without the fifth string but I love the vintage styling and p'ups with the 4004 body and fret board.

[rickomania1970]

me too
in these days i am thinking horshoe + toaster for 4004L/5.humbackers are a nearly enough but i can not sure these are good for 5str bass.what is the opinions about this?

I can't say, since I've never tried TI strings. Though there are other forum members who use them.

That looks like one of the more conventional Infeld sets (IN345). Not too shabby from what I hear. What bothers me about the majority of the true TI sets is they all seem to favor a sort of BCAA pattern of tension (A=lowest, C=highest, ordered G to E strings). Apparently this is somehow related to tradition Fender string design, but I don't understand the logic behind the design. It drives me nuts to play strings like that after I did a studio session with some TIs and ended up being really sorry I didn't stay with what I was using before. When it comes to TI JF344s versus D'Addario Chromes (or LaBella DTFs) they're totally different animals, and I think it's impossible to really compare apples to oranges. But me, I guess I likes the oranges.

[rickomania1970]

yes you right it is imposible to compare but i like the tractor sound of Ricks and TIs are giving me this sound perfectly (a collaboration with my Markbass Marko Limited)

[RickenTom]

Babur,
That is so cool. I love that Motorhead T-shirt.



Oh wait, there are 3 Ricks there too. They're cool too.

Man that is beautiful!!!

I am not worthy...
