My love for my '78 3001 is well documented around these parts.
A fantastic bass, that finally seems to be getting some recognition. Nice, meaty angry P-Bass tone with enough of that signature Rick clank.
That is one heavy bass though.
Congrats & enjoy!

Nice, they play so easy and the maple sings, a classic instrument. Good move

I love it!!!! I recieved it Wed. and been playing at least 4 hours a day so far. Tonight after work I will be putting on the Elixer strings....BAMM!!!
Will keep that flats that came with it as they seem to be in good shape but they are the heavy flats I prefer med-lite.... anyways.
Thanks!!!

LOLOLOL Amen Brother!!!!! I just noticed that I bought it from a gent who has it already registered here. Gratfully I bought it from the guy who registered it here, and not somebody else for fear of buying it stolen if ya know what I mean. Anyways glad I bought it from one of the fold here at RickResource.
