Norris Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I gigged mine for the first time last night since fitting Prosteels. It sounded immense through the Rumble 500 combo. The old strings were really old and knackered. I usually use EB Slinkys, but the Prosteels had Ric clank in buckets when I wanted it. I think I'm a convert.

ezbass Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]So here's the back story to my NBD. I once tried a Ricky at a guitar show many years ago and it was absolutely horrible to play (Couldn't hear it, you know what shows are like). Anyway, whilst in Guitar Guitar last week I was other trying some cheap basses (SBMM SUB Ray5 and Squier Millennium 5; both nice BTW), I asked to try a 4003S, just for fun and to check my previous experience. OMG!!! [/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I fell love with something that I didn't need and couldn't justify, but had to have it! [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] What a thoroughly marvellous/monstrous tone it had and for a passive bass, [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]how loud was it[/font][/color][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]? Just massive. Could I get Mrs Ez onside I wondered? Well I obviously did (I don't know how) and thus it arrived. One sour note though, I got it home and discovered a small chip on the lower bout (must've bashed against another bass whilst hanging up) but went back to GG and they couldn't have been more sorry or accommodating. They have another in Newcastle, but this one spoke to me (it said, "Buy me, buy me!") so they sorted out a suitable recompense. [/color][/font]Right, on with the better, non phone pics.
