After seeing George's beautiful 4003 Walnutburst, I decided to see if Guitar Guitar UK would ship to the US. They will! And they did for me for this beautiful new bass! The ****** cell phone pics just don't do it justice, it is just beautiful!! Hurry, there are only 2 left

Are you using the Elixir strings in the video you made of your Walnutburst? That was a great tone.

Understood about the Rotosounds. The Elixir's are coated so I would expect them to last longer. I have been quite happy using Circle K strings lately, but I might pick up a set of Elixirs to try. Thanks,

That's if you leave it sitting in the case for most of the week...

LOL are they that bad!!!! they need to do something to make those strings last longer not worth how much they cost.

They are great sounding strings fresh, but for me after about 3-4 hours time on them they are getting pretty dull sounding.

Well done Jack - lovely bass.

Ironic with basses made in the US, sent to be sold in the UK, and shipped back again!
