In many ways, the Cheyenne is the best bass Rickenbacker ever made. It is lightweight and very clean in appearance, the controls are rear loaded, the body is contoured and VERY easy to play. There are no deep routes in the neck slab. The bridge is fully adjustable and solidly made. I love my 4004C more every time I play it.

the 4004 is a good bass ... and I think my mods of vol vol tone and 500k pots makes them even better ... I like to run it tone 10, bridge pickup 10 and neck pickup 8 +\- ...
I like my 4004L5 ... it is a little colder and snapier than the 4004c ...

I was thinking that the 4004c would agree with my 40-something back on an all night gig.

"calcium does not cause kidney stones!!!"
"Increased rates of either oxalate absorption or endogenous oxalate synthesis can contribute to hyperoxaluria, a primary risk factor for the formation of calcium oxalate-containing kidney stones.
The finding that ascorbate supplementation increased urinary total and endogenous oxalate levels suggested that this practice is a risk factor for individuals predisposed to kidney stones. Am J Kidney Dis. 2004 Dec;44(6):1060-9"

"Diet plays an important role in the pathogenesis of calcium-containing kidney stones. Although much work has demonstrated that specific dietary components alter urinary composition and supersaturation, relatively few studies link the ingestion of these components with actual nephrolithiasis. This article reviews the dietary factors thought to promote or inhibit the formation of calcium stones and discusses the current controversies in the field of nutrition and nephrolithiasis. Special attention is paid to the roles of dietary calcium, supplemental calcium, oxalate, phytate, and n-3 fatty acids. We offer dietary recommendations to individuals who have suffered from a calcium-containing kidney stone, and emphasize that a patient's 24-hour urine chemistries should be used to help guide dietary intervention". Nephron Physiol. 2004;98(2):p55-63.
Since I am only an "expert" in my-own-opinion, I have included two medical journal references.
But I do love 425 conversions!

It is kind of cool when our professional lives break the surface here. So, where is Gary Clauson?
