I owned a 4001, & a couple of 4003's. I began my bass-playing life as a huge Chris Squire/Geddy Lee fan. After some time, I moved on. I thought the Rics were well-made instruments, but they just didn't sit well with me. Not a huge fan of the ergonomics, & for someone who is 5'6", they were...

Well, Maisky's pretty recognizable, for sure...

Man, I couldn't agree with this post more. In high school (the '70's), I was HUGE Rush Fanboy (couple of Ric's, etc.). That lasted until the mid-'80's. Then, I REALLY started listening to PF. Wow. Lyrics, vocals (Geddy has always been just a bit too shrill, IMO), and yes -- Alex is a...

Thanks! Yep, I'm planning on putting some flats on soon. I was thinking LaBella Low-Tensions.

Hi, Eastwood Bass Club admin-person. I just got a Classic 4 greenburst for my birthday today (same day as Paul McCartney -- but oddly, I don't seem to have the same level of talent, bass-playing skill, song-writing skill, or even general niceness that Sir Paul has...). However, I DO like...

Cello. Which I already "play" (it's a stretch). I LOVE the cello, but it's not quite as much fun as the electric bass...

I just got a MiM Mustang PJ last week, pau ferro. I think it looks really great, feels nice, and sounds, uhhhh, like a bass. I can't tell the difference between PF, Maple, Rosewood, or Ebonol. They all sound like... bass.

Pickup? I just got a red Bronco today. Fun little bass, but definitely needs a new pickup.

Oh, ayuh. Well, I've never been as fond of "The Ancient" (although there are bits that are sublime) as the other tracks. Squire's fretless work on "the Remembering" is lovely, just lovely.
