do you have a tab for this?

[fcbv]

@andarvson Sorry, no. I don't use tab.

Im sorry for asking but I have to know what kind of stings and gauge do you use on your Rick, Been trying to figure out a good gauging and type to go with on my 4003.

[fcbv]

@SWG89 No problem! I use Rotosound Swing Bass RS66 LD strings (45 65 80 105)

[SWG89]

@fcbv I was actually looking into the 77 flatwounds. Do you find your strings are too bright? Also do you have a tinny sound from your E string with the natural resonance of your Rick?

[fcbv]

@SWG89 I have never tried flatwounds myself. I use the same roundwounds that Geddy Lee uses. I do find them to be very bright and I prefer to cut the highs a lot to control the sound. I think with a better preamp I'd keep more of the highs. The low E on my Rick isn't as full sounding as the Fender Jazz I used to own. I'd say the Jazz was a more flexible instrument but I love the Rick the best. It just plays great. I think I'll get another Jazz someday too though. Wow, I love basses! :)

What are you, crazy?? MUSE is amazing, fantastic band & what a stellar bassist in Chris!

Oh well, can't please them all. I know people who don't like ice cream, beer, or porn. Go figs.

[fcbv]

I think I'm using a least five fingers on this one. Two on my right hand and three on my left.
