I guess the model is a Standard 4? Basically a repro of an early 60s J w/Jimmy's preamp. I'm going to add a drop-D hipshot tuner to it, too, as soon as Jimmy gets it out to me.

and HAHA to the super quick replies! THANKS GUYS!

Basskadet... I lived in Burlington for years years ago. You got a name? I'm sure we have mucho mutual friends.

Peter Pappas, I don't play with anyone. I still take an occasional lesson from Aram Bedrosian, awesome player.
 
Peter Pappas... hmm... sounds familiar? Aram's an old buddy, for sure. I played with Gordon Stone before him and after Stacey.

Funny... Aram was a badass when he was in high school. There's always someone younger and faster out there!

Aram's pretty mellow now. He's an endorsing artist for hartke now. I think one of his past students plays with Gordon now. I know Stacy Starkweather.
 
Oh yeah, May I have a number please.

My mistake, yeah, I realized that after I posted. Amazing finish!

This is the first bass I have owned with the nitro finish. I'm on the verge of ordering a new bass and I'm waffling between the Alleva and a NYC. I'm thinking black pearl w/ matching headstock block inlays with a pearl pickguard and bound neck with reverse PJ pickups w/ nitro finish. What say ye?

Sounds great - all except that pesky P pickup. . .

dare i post pics of my kbp4 updated character marks... you would die:)
Its 5 years old and gets so many requests to be played.. everyone tells me to ALWAYS bring that bass..

Yeah, its a nitrocellulose laquer. And poifect.

I'm usually into "character marks", but the day this bass gets scratched will be a sad one.
