    I'm actually hoping to pick up another SX soon, but there is a chance they might sell it to someone else :( No doubt I'll have some use for it in the future! If I had two I'd gladly send ya one :)

    Essex Bass Club - Part 11

    I got that one with the old headstock :) Mine came with a Black PG though, I bought a tort one too though because I couldn't decide and the black is defo better. Tort doesn't work on a 3TS imho. Well, at least on this particular shade

    Can you go wrong spending $120 on a bass?

    just a little FYI Sx do make some horrible basses. for example, the traditional series aren't too great. The scorpion is terrible. etc etc The Vintage series is unbelievable! Yeah they're hit and miss, like every other instrument! You'll find sx basses that were originally $119 from...

    +1 Also i remember someone else here saying their bass arrived and the D and G strings weren't coming out strongly at all and they emailed kurt and he offered to replace the bass as it seemed to be a problem with the pickup itself. Though they had bought an old model I believe and didn't want to...

    Essex bass club part 9

    My bridge pup is covered so I don't slap near there anyway. Nope, the poles aren't higy out of the pickup, they're nestled in very nicely. I just lowered the pup a little. Sounds much better!

    Essex bass club part 9

    I've noticed while playing slap, I'm getting an awful *thud* from the pickups every now and then. I suspect its my wrist pressing the strings against the pickup so I plan on lowering the neck pup. The bridge one seems unaffected. Was taking pictures of her last night with my phone and everytime...
