Nice Monte VP! Looks like mine!

When's the last time you saw yours, Paul?

[bassduke49]

A few minutes ago. That's one I'm not selling!

Last Wednesday night at the East Texas Performing Arts music festival . . . of course our singer called an obscure tune in A flat. Enjoyed a WONDERFUL pub crawl and song swap with two other bands after the show !!

Oh,that's a beaut!! What year is it,Don?

July '55. Oh, maybe you meant the bass. April '72. Thanks, and the beauty isn't just skin deep - look closely and you'll see that I installed an HB-1. Wide spectrum, great dynamics, and zero noise . . . I LOVE this pickup !!

It's hard to see even with you spilling the beans...

Ohh, oh, ohh, ohhhhh....

That 4000 has to sound great with the HB-1 in it.

Touche! Good vintages for both!
I've considered putting an hb1 in my '74 4000,(which also sports an aluminum Hipshot bridge),but i have several 4004's,so I'm keeping the old higain in her.

Here's a better pic with more details visible: HB-1 pickup, aluminum hipshot, and clear with white back-paint guard from Pickguardian - no tug bar, thank you. Pretty simple instrument, but it is quite comfortable to play, stylish, and sounds killer !!

Now that's stylish. And it matches the TRC.

Welcome, Don! Looks great!

[jps]

Inspired by this, perhaps?

No tug bar? What about those occasions when you wanna go full retro with your playing style?
Sweet! Although i prefer to keep my pickup cover on,i do think one of those snazzy chrome bezels would really complete this bass!
