Ain't much...?

Anyway, looks like your profile can use an update! ;)
 
Ha! That may be true for some of us, but don't believe everything you see on the tele. I live in the Northeast and my house is one of the little kit homes built in the 1930s. This tends to be more true in the Northeast. Down South, the houses tend to run larger.
 
What kind of strings do you have on it and wha.t kind of music do you play?

I have a '51 reissue as well and love it. I have Chrome flats on it and I'm very happy with it. The pickup is not a sturdy thumb rest, but I tend to just use it lightly as a thumb rest, or just float my thumb anyway, so it's fine for me. Putting flats on it changed the whole character of the bass and made it sound and feel "right" to me. I play mostly blues and R&B/soul. Your mileage may vary...
 
Mine is getting closer...

...

new electric is all run and hooked up...

I need to by some coax and cat5 yet, I've got pull cord in place waiting.

I'm not a networking expert, but when we built an addition on our home, my teenage son (who's pretty good at it) insisted that we run Cat6 instead of Cat5. If you haven't purchased wire yet, it might we worth considering.

It's always interesting seeing Romex since I live in the land where even residential wiring runs in conduit!
