I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

thanks guys, the bass sounds awesome!! and it dont look too shabby either!! when i got the bass the action was about 5 feet from the fret board lol, gave the neck a tweak and sorted the action out ,new strings and removal of previous owners dna. march 2005 production date.

I have a Nov. 2004 4003 and the neck is super stable. A tad bigger, but it has the best feel and playability. I have a toaster at the 1/2" position and a RIHS on it, and it is strung with NOS RIC/Maxima flats. Love the tone. And the Bubinga on the fretboard is just as beautiful as yours. They must have gotten a very nice batch of wood at that time.
