Problem... Noticed the output on this thing dropped significantly. Was driving me nuts. Decided to open it up and found the neck pickup (white) wire was broken off the pot. Fixed and back on the road again. Still loving this thing. About to put a Hipshot on it since we are doing more Drop D...

I put the Hipshots on 3 of my basses and all of them the lever is visible. I dont mind it at all. Did the screw holes and peg all align for you? Before I drop that $$$ on a BT2 I wanna make sure it will work. I have been going back and forth with a ruler for the last 20 minutes LOL. BTW How are...

Yes they do Except for ONE thing. I don'tknow if this applies to you but we played an outdoor gig where it ran into the night and things started to get a little wet. The strings felt real weird. Jumped on the back up bass that had EB's on it and finished the night normally. It was almost like...

It is a great bass... I just was not playing my bass as much as I was my new J bass nor my old 75 P bass. I sold it a year ago because someone should use it. It was just collecting dust. I think it was not a smart move for Fender to stop making the Dimension series. They replaced it with the...

Now that is one handsome beast

Depends on how is your "regret" gene? Will you sit there in 10 years and say "MAN! I wish I never got rid of that Hamer!" I find myself on eBay many times looking for the bass that got away (and there has been a few of them). If you have your heart set on a Musicman, then save up and get a...

I swear this bass is like a fine wine. It seriously gets better every time I play it. We did a gig this last weekend and even the sound guy (who was the sound guy the last time we played there) said "Your bass sounded awesome this time, what did you do differently?" The white bass with my 75th...

I LOVE Stratosphere! I built my Frankenstein from them using a PB&J active/passive body and a '62 Jazz neck. What do you mean that you dont like the paint?

Oh heck yeah! I got to play the P bass... Like I said, sure wish my bank account was 2200.00 heavier :D

Thanks for your input and decided to follow your advice. I decided to leave it alone and growing on me. Thank you!

To answer your question, YES! Not only am I digging it but like a fine wine it gets better with age (granted it is less than a year old) but it seems like every time I play it, I love it more. BTW I went back to the store where I bought it and the sales guy remembered me (That's cool) He even...

Nothing really to add but "+1" on Shorty's post. Wait... I lied. Just remembered an issue I had with my other Fender P... Same issue was a low output G. When I played my guitarist's bass, WHAT a difference. The strings I was playing were a light gauge string. Put Ernie Ball 105-50's and that...

QUESTION! So, I have been pondering this for a while and need input. The neck is too glossy. I like more of a matte finish and thinking of having the fingerboard edges rolled and the back of the neck sanded down a tad. Good idea or no? I know some people say "You are going to XXXX with the value...

Right? Why the cruddy strings? "Here is your new FERARRI!!! And we put on Costco tires for ya!" Put some awesome strings on an awesome bass please!!

Can I ask you a question? (I know, that was already a question LOL) on the side of the neck where the dots are. Where the rosewood meets the maple. Is it an even finish? Mine had some issues that needed to be addressed. The second issue i have is, I dont mind the clay dots on the fretboard...
