One of the pickups has a low impedance coil in it that connects to the XLR in balanced mode for direct-to-board in the studio.
Huh? Dammit Kirk, I'm an architect- not a sound engineer!

It allows you to plug directly to a sound board for a cleaner sound. No amp/preamp needed.

I prefer the MG finish....it will look spectacular in ambered form 10-15 years time, and it probably intonates better now than it did originally!
It's cheeeep!

+1. There doesn't seem to be as many around in MG. That bass is in great shape.

the ad says its a starz bridge,and it looks like someone drilled body-through anchor holes for the strings like a fender telecaster bass has. all the time i had my walnut glo 4002,i lusted after the maple finish one-i really like the contrast of the light maple and the skunk stripe,ebony board,binding,etc,verus the overall browness of the walnut finish.
my luthier in memphis offered to refinish my 4002 in pink.....i declined.....

Ouch! Didn't notice the holes drilled through for the strings. Oh well, I can't afford it anyway, even at the low price...

It involved drilling holes through the bass, that's for sure. I do not like that mod

What's to get? You don't have to kill.....just buy it (sacrifice other gear or get a loan) and you don't have to wait for hell to freeze over as RIC reissues the 4002.
