I had a 4 string built a few years ago, before I managed to track down an affordable 4003. Still have it. The woodwork was spot on, the electrics were a bit meh. I keep meaning to upgrade them, but just never get around to it. Maybe one day.

It's usually advisable to roll off some of the volume on the neck pickup to about 3/4, with the bridge on full volume. Yes, the 1998 is pre-standard fitment of the "Vintage Circuit" push/pull, though a few people did modify their basses with the circuit. Your new toy should sound full bodied and lovely. Enjoy, it's a lovely looking machine.

All the D'Addario's I've bought from Amazon have been legit. At the moment, a 5 string set of Pro Steels is actually cheaper than the equivalent 4 string set. Go figure.

Well, according to that map, I am in the arse end of civilisation... Welcome Reiver.
