I think he was probably just misunderstanding your writing of "many years ago" and "It was loooong ago" as meaning longer than 10 years, which is understandable. Anyway, back on topic. I've only tried them in shops, but the 604 has technically nicer finishes, but biggest difference is the controls. The 304 has the presets, which are actually pretty cool, but again this is only from briefly playing. The 604 had a fill 3 band so was a bit more control and can really dial in your tone if you want. Both feel pretty similar, maybe the 604 had a slightly nicer neck. You'd probably be pretty happy with either if you like the look and shape, but electronics are different so need to consider that.

Reverend Thundergun, finally some hot new colors!
BassApprentice replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
Nipped into Merchant City music today for a wander. Decided to try some of the Reverends. The colours are always so good in that range! Tried the Thundergun, Mercalli and Decision P. All basses very similar fit and finish wise. Really nice necks. Mercalli and Thundergun very similar to me, found the tone good, but the tone became quite treble heavy with not too much turning of the tone knob. Not bad but not quite for me. Decision P just felt better for me, pickup placement for my anchor points and just liked the tone. If one or two more things sell I might be tempted... Venetian gold Thundergun pic attached -
For your daily dose of super niche music memorabilia - I got the fancy VIP Tickets way back in 2005 and it came with this merch package of the following: Tour Programme EVO Premium Pas Signed copy of the Real Illusions Album An 18-track 'An Interview With Steve Vai' CD (unopened) a 'Vai logo' pink guitar plectrum with facsimile signature There is currently a very similar package available elsewhere for £125(! Very optimistic pricing....) A cool bit Steve Vai memorabilia for that shred guitar fan! -

Regarding changing the strings - surely this system is easier? Straight through the saddles into the headstock clamp. Tune up and cut the excess? No faffing around with cutting before winding and coming up too short or long? I've never had a headless bass but it does seem easier. Could be wrong though!

For those wondering - like me - how different a prospect of the HILS NEXT HNB3 is to a Stingray...

Doing that thing you do where you get bored of looking at a bass you're not really playing so the only option is to sell it 😂 An MTD Kingston Artist 5, think it's the mort basic Kingston they did, but has all the design features of the rest of the range. Fantastic asymmetric neck, really shallow and wide if that's your bag. Single big humbucker does a good job and the Zoot preamp (added by previous owner @GBH) gives a bit more range than stock I iamgine. Also has the Buzz Feiten tuning system which is cool to have. The pickguard is actually white, just has black vinyl tape on it, but it's been there for years and hasn't shifted. Bass is generally good condition with a couple of scrapes, nothing major though! Specs as best as I can relay below: Scale: 35" String Spacing: 19mm Electronics: Zoot 2 band (Vol Bass Treble) Weight:4kg Not got a box (yet) but working on it so happy to post. Any questions, fire away! -
I can get the disappointment, but it looks like you knew this before ordering! Appreciate it was a couple of years ago 😂

Fender Stu Hamm Urge 1, 32" scale, 1993

Cool! I thought they all had a P pickup in the middle? Is this all original or had some modifications? -
Sam Houston Radius bass - some wild techniques used with carbon fiber layering. The neck construction is so cool! Kind of looks like a Yamaha SBV...

Hi! First of all - this topic might belong in the Repairs and Technicals section. A Mod can move it if they see fit. Secondly - I am all for modding and tinkering! However, I don't think a £10.99 Wilkinson pickup will be infinitely better/different than the Roswell pickup that's already in place. Also, I'd be wary of AliExpress selling a branded item for 1/6th of the retail price. of course it could be good pickup but maybe not necessarily a "Wilkinson". Regarding the balance of pickups, have you altered the heights of them?

To satisfy all parties - and for more pictures of a cool bass... -
Between these and Brute basses, we do have some cool luthiers in the UK! Shame my bank account won't allow for anything like this 😂
