I agree, awesome. Stevie wonder on the keyboards as well!!!!

Nice bit of clank on that bass even though you are playing finger style.

Excellent, Scott! 8) Old strings do sound great, I usually go for years between changes.

My old '68 4000 had, at one time, been routed for an extra pickup and had a vol/vol/toggle configuration. I just got accustomed to the config and never changed it.

That's how my first Ric (a modded 4000) was set up,too. Just like a new 4004,control-wise.
Great grindy tone,Scott! Old strings,no problem!
