ya ... I might not do the horseshoe either ... it gets in the way of playing, picking, thumb slapping, and fingering ... but it looks pretty ...

Man, Charly, I won't even recognize my old bass once you're done with it!

BTW, you do know that the toaster will cover five strings, don't you?

but there may be "PHASING" problems ... with 6 magnets and only 5 strings ...

It's my understanding that a toaster PU will cover 5 strings but with a possible phasing problem.

You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away
The relevance you ask? Smiling Phases by Traffic!

It's here! I get to play my new 4-2-5 tomorrow at church!!!!!!
It's purtty! And with the thicker 2004 neck,it feels just like a 5 string! I have owned a few 5 strings in m,y day. I will have to get used to the slightly more narrow spacing but it's not that much different. The neck is way thicker than my 87!

I love the treble pickup surround. It is so much cleaner than the factory one without the cover....

Hey if I lived in CA I would visit your church tomorrow ... if you have a bass pod then try the brit major model with that bass ... I'm not really a flat wound guy but that bass was pretty cool with flats ... I was pretty happy with the action on that bass when I was done ...
the biggest, widest, chunkiest neck on a Ric bass is my 2020 4-2-5 ... but even then it is still slimmer than other five string basses ...
