    30th sr4 just looks better and better

    ive noticed that the birdseye and the mahogany wood pattern is more visible now than it was back when i got the basses. the contrast seem to have increased as light has put its paw on them..
    i just love it!!

    ill see if i can snap some photos and put em up for comparison later on..

    any of you noticed the same thing on yours??

    MrM

    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    trussrod adjustment:

    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Mine is always 2m away from me so i haven't really noticed. But then again 30ths are really deceiving light plays a huge factor on what it truely looks like.

    I'm with ya, MrM. I think she looks better today than when I first got her. I also think she sounds better with age, too.

    These are truly remarkable instruments.

    Ha... i was just noticing the finish on mine today. I think the body has darkened a bit and the neck has either stayed the same or gotten slightly lighter. Still my favorite EBMM bas sof all time. JOSH
