Thanks and it might be correct...however, when I got home from the Desert Bash, I was supposed to go "somewhere" and failed my physical cause of my vision...docs found (I had this for a while but never went) that I have a detached retina and it makes it hard for me to see like I need to...I got this spot in my field of vision that makes it hard to see.......anyway...back on subject...give me a bigger pic! LOL

Well, yes, of course it is!
Carbon, Graphite, whatever!!!
When I worked for the National Carbon Research Labs back in the last century, I worked with a substance that had similar properties to graphite only it was white. Boron something or other.

How do you like the 4Hp comparing to the your 5 HH? Difference in tone?

Well basically the 4Hp is my P-bass replacement and the 5HH is my J-bass replacement. (I did have a J-5).
The 4Hp is my go to bass unless I want to get fancy and play in keys above the 5th fret.
I can get similar tones from both but that "p" adds some real punch. I mentioned somewhere if I had a 5Hp I wouldn't need any other bass!
BTW the 5HH is now known as my "Not Orange" bass. My son's girlfriend who is an aspiring bass player said " I want to try that orange bass!". I said "it's not Orange, it's Desert Gold. Hence the new moniker...

So let's talk about the 'p' in your 4Hp... how and when do you use it, and what are your thoughts on it? Are you glad you have it?

Well I pretty much operate with it rotated 20 - 30 degrees counterclockwise from the detent and work from there. Depends. I set the amp flat, and the preamp bass and treble flat, turning out the hi-mids and maybe flat or a little boost on the lo-mids.
I feel I get both thump and growl. Sounds good to me, and have had many comments on the sound and offers to play the darn thing (and offers to buy it also!)
