I can assure you that if I was to buy a new baseball glove right now, it would be getting broken in before it saw the field. I personally wouldn't go as far as beating the bass with a chain but sanding necks, etc is very reasonable. I should also say that Im a sucker for a well done relic job...

For me, I set it so its too low and buzzes and just back off a bit. Thats how I like it. An in-spec set up is too high for my tastes.

My mom bought me an AVRI 63. I was talking to her about it and she sent me the money out of the blue to go buy it as a gift, it seemed out character but I wasn't going to argue. She passed suddenly very shortly after. The bass has new meaning to me now. I play it any chance I get and it reminds...

Has anyone compared the 210HE to the Venture 210?

I use two SVT210HE but stack them vertically with a ToneHammer 350 head. I honestly cant imagine needing more. I can also put them in the back seat easily. Edit: I turned and redrilled the logo just for my own aesthetics.

I never use it, does it help when you just use octave 1? Any links to how to do this?

Sent it back, what little it was working turned into no response at all. Found a black label MIT for the same price. I'll have to get over that it doesnt say made in japan.

Sorry, yes ACA. I paid $120 for it and I’m thinking if it needs repair, it’s it worth the hassle to drop more into it even if it’s the sought after Japanese version. Agree?

I just picked up a Japanese OC-2 Octave pedal. It’s from 1988 and is ASA power supply. I’ve tried it with a 9v power supply, a 9v power supply daisy chained with another pedal and with a 9v battery. It slightly turns on but the light is dim and the effect feels “slightly on”. I had another OC-2...

My 2016 fretboard is much lighter than 2013. 2013 is dark. Were both fretboards rosewood? Maybe just different shade of wood? I love both and it gives them personality just curious.

I've tried for years to make the pickup covers work while I play but I just can't. It compromises too much of where I need to be on the strings. They look great though!

Unfortunately that wouldn't have helped with the big ski slope and maxed out truss. Even Heat and a clamp didn't touch it. Im glad you had success, its a great bass.

I'm sure there is someone out there with a Fiesta Red Road Worn Jazz who would trade their road worn VVT for your stacked knobs. I had an 2016 Flea and loved the bass but it had a neck that refused to not have high action. I'm sensitive to that and need my action unreasonably low even if it...

I just spoke with Fender to see if I could track down the lighter mint green pickguard that came with my 2013. He said that 0097224000 that came with it and is listed on the parts list is the same as 0097224049 and they just add "49" to signify that its sold separately as a part. He offered that...

Well, I think you cleared it up for me. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I didn’t realize the one that came with it had a different model number. Was that the case for all years 63 sonic blue or just the 2013? Thanks!
