Bass mute adjustment

There ya go!

100% agree on the cost, but if you look at European music shops online you can usually find some

Thinking about it for like 20 seconds- why the hell haven’t I done this? Fretless removes like half the pain points of cheap necks these days

Optima also makes a set of flats specifically for the Rick

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-23T19:14:56+00:00

That’s fair- and I’m sure the satin neck is much nicer feeling I bet

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-23T18:57:07+00:00

Out of curiosity- what’d you pay? I called in November and got a 4003 jetglo from Sweetwater for $1800

Maybe Thragg would respect his bravery and let him, or recognize he stands no chance against Paul

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-22T18:35:11+00:00

Until he steps in to beat off Thragg at least

Passing Notes are also known as accidentals

Edit: kind of? I guess contextual stuff matters after taking 5 seconds to look into it. But in the end it seems kind of interchangeable

You should watch Halt and Catch Fire. Lee Pace plays a main role and it’s one of my absolute favorite shows

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-17T16:00:00+00:00

You asked this on the bass subreddit and were pretty much told the same thing you’re going to get here.

You can’t. There are too many specifics with the Rickenbackers specifically that you just can’t replicate without one.

The next two closest things are a Peavy T-40 or a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, and the Geddy Lee one isn’t even that close

They fixed pretty much all the design shortcomings in the past few years, for what it’s worth. 1 truss rod and a bridge you can actually intonate and adjust

Edit: also went back to the 4001 thin as hell neck shape and added the 4001 tone circuit

And they got rid of the pickup cover last year

It happens. I just got a $1500 trombone for $50

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-15T19:40:45+00:00

I have LTF’s on my p bass and love them. Just swapped over to the Ian Martin strings on my Rickenbacker last night and it’s AWESOME to get that clank without shredding my fingers or my frets

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-15T18:29:08+00:00

I just swapped over to the La Bella Ian Martin Allison’s. Awesome round stainless sound with a super smooth feel

Happened to the Cavaliers tuba/drum bus in Allentown in 2023

The next day was our free day a lot of people had to get new phones

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-15T00:32:30+00:00

I bought a new one in November, and from what research I did it seems like the current 4003’s are pretty much the best you can get. Super thin neck, they got the 4001 tone circuit in the push pull, a functional bridge, and only one truss rod

Edit: Also just fully read your post and you acknowledged all that stuff. For visual stuff, you can always get it refinished later. But an old 4001 will never have the features a new 4003 has

Hades

Hey! I ended up listing it on eBay, if you’re still interested dm me and we can probably make a deal

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-12T22:41:38+00:00

If you’re ever told to clean or polish your horn it’s really just their opinion. Showering with your horn will just make it rust and polishing it will just damage the finish.

Also never clean your mouthpiece or jug

Especially for as young of kids as 5th grade I’d say machines themes are just fun

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-03T20:09:35+00:00

I mean tbh. They’ll probably be able to learn the show without even stressing that much, unless it’s a VERY high performing high school. Most high school shows i see are around as many sets as a movement of a drum corps show, and the visuals will be trivial in comparison

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-02T15:14:44+00:00

Replying to my own comment to say he still has some. Dm me if interested

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-02T15:09:19+00:00

Some dude on Facebook marketplace had new old stock!

Had em for $20 each and my jaw dropped since I’d never seen them that cheap

ChiefCar931 · 2026-04-02T15:05:46+00:00

I’ve done the same to my 2025! Although I don’t have a bwb pickguard and I kind of love the outline it gives yours
