Imagine my surprise when I checked the site of Gramart, a musician organization here in Norway, and saw this photo.

Hey! You're famous. kinda.

Yep, it's my '98 4003, and me playing it at the Oya Festival in Norway last summer. I know because it's the only gig I played without the trc... I'm not that famous, but my bass is

HEY! Somebody erased the lines on your fretboards!

John that black hipshot with the chrome saddles really looks great on that bass.

Glad it worked out for you.

Good to see someone else stirring the pot for a change.

Hell, yeah. I've got a bit of chrome here and there: the tuner bushings that came with my black tuners (I think they're H*psh*t) were a tad "loose in the hole" as it were, so I retained the original chrome bushings (they look great with the black/"chrome" TRC), plus the toaster casing, as well as the saddles.

I will say that when I got back to Boston at about 4 AM after the gig, I dropped the bass in my music room and left it until the next day. When I looked at the bridge saddles, they looked like a bomb had gone off there; crooked doesn't do it justice. I do play pretty hard.

Is that a C64 I see?

Love that reverse headstock.

I see you removed the old gal's bra. Shame on you.

It's a C64s in jetglo. I actually sold the horseshoe that came with it and put a in new higain instead. Feels better to me without the shoes and its lighter too! Sounds better as well, but I'm sure I'm the only one who feels that way?

You de-shoed your C64S!



If the high-gain works for you, that's what matters.

The high-gain is a very nice pickup to be sure.
