NBD!! 2001 Ric 4003 from ishibashi. got across the whole world in TWO FUCKING DAYS. talk about fast shipping, great job, EMS!
Funny thing - I was in Prague where our customs HQ is last night, introducing my girl to my dad... we were staying overnight. At dinner, I got an email about the bass hitting customs, so in the morning I dragged my girl across the whole city to process it because we had a show tonight! She's a total trooper
it's so heartwarming to be with someone who digs your hobby (and your band)
Just got back from the show... when I got here, I restrung the bass with Roto rounds. There might be a bit of work to be done on the action, it's on the higher side but I like that usually - heavy picker, usually play with a pick. Fingers are no problem either though
Anyway... bass sounds fucking gnarly, I probably have to tame the EQ on my amp a little, it's really punchy and zingy and honky at the same time. Which is not necessarily a bad thing tho!
my wrist is chaffed the fuck up, need to work on my hand position and strap length. Taking off the pickup cover will probably help, I didn't fuck with that before the show, didn't have that much time, really
I'm stoked. Love the neck, the flat fingerboard radius will take some getting used to but damn! No neck dive (at least with my Mono strap), not too heavy (4.20kg guys, it's a sign!)
