I agree. Kind of an IQ test IMO. If it takes more than 60 seconds to figure it out and become comfortable with it, then it is the short yellow bus to the gigs for you

As you wish, but I must warn you: I'm a former marine with some body guard skills.

Oh really tough guy.....

Well I SAW the Bodyguard and watched Roadhouse at least 4 times.......
AND I'm mature, 6', 225 pounds, tattoos, earrings in both ears, ride a Harley V-Rod and bald......
So there

(Actually all that means is im old, a little taller than average, over weight, losing my hair and having a mid life crisis which equates to trying desperately to hang on to what little youth I have left)

Thanks guys. I can deal with the blend pot. Doesn't bother me. I did play the bass more last night and realized it is for sure a dead battery. At least I know that for lunch I'm gonna go pick up a couple. At first, the signal was just really weak, but the more I played it, the weaker the signal got and started distorting horribly. Whew!!!

Now I just gotta get the blue nickels on it. It has the blue SS, but this bass truly sings with nickels. Off to the Sadowsky store too!!!!

PS- I used to protect the president... Sooooo.... How bout dem body guard skills? Lol

The new string retainer includes the A string.

If I had a dime for every time someone had buzzing on the open A string because they did not allow enough string wraps on the post to go all the way down to the bottom, I could have retired a long time ago.

Has anyone else struggled with pulling the trigger on a NYC due to the plethora or beautiful instruments. Everytime I think I see what I want it's either grabbed or something more beautiful has come along. Then there is the whole Will Lee or not to Will Lee question. I love the idea of the narrower neck as it will match a '71 width I had back in the day but I don't like the way the longer neck changes the pickup placement on the pick guard and moves the bridge further up the body. Decisions, decisions.

If you order a NYC, they can shave the neck to the Will Lee nut width for an upcharge ($200 if I recall). That is what I did on my NYC V4PJ.
