Enjoy the tunes, enjoy the frequent Rick money shots.

good stuff. to be up front but play with your head down constantly is weird to me. this band is good but that is something I expect from a beginner player.

Welcome Tom. Is that a converted four-string to five? Thanks for posting the links to the videos!

Great tunes - The bass looks like it is a 5'er, with the three tuning pegs on the top of the headstock. Most 4-5 conversions put the extra peg on the bottom. I certainly could be wrong

[bassduke49]

The shape of the headstock is the same as the standard four though. I think someone did a dowel plug, redrill on the big-string side. Wonder if he will respond . . . .

Well, I will have to defer to your knowledge...after all, you wrote "The Book"

Also, the stock 4003S/5 doesn't have binding or the shark-fin position markers. Being an S model, it has no binding and dots. I'm so used to seeing regular 4003 basses, that I hadn't even noticed that. It was the shape of the headstock and the position of the tuners that I first noticed.

Yeah, I'm usually in the back - that van is ridiculously small though, so my cartoonishly large pedal board got me stuck in front. I consider the Rick to be in the spotlight, rather than myself.

You are correct, sir. The initial conversion was done by Paul W.

Since the initial chop-job I've had a bit more work done on it - replaced the neck PU with a Dane Wilder HB-1 push/pull split, the bridge PU with a Classic Amplification hi-gain, and the mute pad with a DiMarzio Fast Track - all of which was done by Gary Brawer's in SF.

Future possible mods may include moving the strap pins around, a brass nut, and getting a custom wound pickup for the mute cavity to replace the Fast Track (which actually paired VERY well with the original hi-gain, but not as well with the Classic Amp pup).

Cheers.
