Looks like I'm in! Pics will be up when she gets here.
What are standard strings on a M4V?
Anyone out there know if there is a big difference in tone with the optional Chrome Brass Bridge?

Congrats if you just got it. Great stuff.

Nice looking bass, pilmat!
Welcome aboard, you're memeber 41.
beautiful bass and pics, purchased no doubt from BassNW?
Sweet M4! Very interesting diamond control layout as well.
Great looking bass. Coincidentally, Gelb Music has a used one in inventory that, other than being a five-string, looks very similar. It's a monster sonically, too.
last year I had bridge upgrade adventure on my Fender Marcus V...after I read your post I changed bridge on my M5V. I put there Fender dlx. bridge...let you kow later how it sounds in band...
...I found some threads maybe it will be interesting for you too..
I just think Hipshot-A/Brass is to massive/too heavy...I think Fender or Shaller bridges (maybe BadAss) will work better ...
