So tell me about how La Bellas sound on yours.

I agree the classic agressive ric sound is no doubt from rotos. |

I'm more than happy with the 760fl on both my 4003 and 4004.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | GHS Boomers. They make my Ric sound perfect to my ear. Not too zingy, with decent low end.
