    Melvin Lee Davis NUX problems

    Hello everybody. I’d like some help please. When the DI switch is set to pre the DI IR switch doesn’t engage in either position. Only when set to post EQ does it work respectively. Since the manual states that they “should” work independently I’m wondering whether my pedal is at fault or it’s...

    What's the Ohms/resistance value for Aguilar DCB-5J 5-String Jazz Bass Pickup Set

    Hello. I was wondering if you ever found out @mr80htz ? I’m interested in the same pick ups, but haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere else.

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Maybe I was unlucky and got the short straw that QC missed. Under no circumstances was I expecting a boutique instrument for €1000. Nevertheless as an experienced professional I can’t help but think that these basses are subpar not only @€900 but even...

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    My RSD arrived last Friday and what a buzzkill experience it has been….. I was super excited but have been disappointed altogether. So much that I’m afraid to try the German Metroline. In all fairness it’s an April 21’ model but it seems to be a later iteration. The nut measures 1,8 inches...

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Thank you for such an explicit answer! The singles in the new ME are rather low mid heavy to my ears. Maybe it’s the Okume’s tone signature. The ergonomics are really nice and the 34’ scale is a welcome deviation from the 35’ on my Lakland 55-60. Nonetheless its tone hasn’t won me over. The B...

    Thank you both for your feedback. Kaloman I take it you've done the upgrade yourself; are you happy? Vic as an experienced Sadowsky player how do they differ sonically?

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Hello fellas. I’ve ordered an RSD J 5 and trying to choose between Stacks or Splits as an upgrade to the factory Singles. Could anyone suggest which ones to pick? What are the tonal differences between the 2 models? Thanks

    Bartolini Bit the Dust

    If I were you I’d check the jack. Another rare malfunction is either the volume or blend is overtightened and it shorts with the shielding.

    I was wondering do you use gloves for both hands? Or just the fretting hand? I have the same issue and began wearing the glove. Funnily I like it.

    Bartolini B-Axis pickups don’t fit

    Well I have some experience with mods and it required less than 1mm widening. So you can’t tell something was done to it. Mine are J55J-19. Fender 5 string size. I tried it on a Fender US Deluxe. Still wouldn’t fit.

    Bartolini B-Axis pickups don’t fit

    I had the same issue in my Lakland. The neck fit perfectly but the bridge not even… I used my Dremel to slightly enlarge the ear routes. Every other pickup I ‘ve tried fit easily without mods.

    ebs reidmar 502

    I've owned the 750 for four years now . It's done at least 200 gigs. On two occasions I hooked it up to a 2.7 Ohm load. 210 Goliath II & 118 Bertha. I assumed the 210 was an 8ohm. Only later did I find out those came only in 4 Ohms. It didn't even flinch. I never put the Master past 2...

    MTD Bass tone - which Barts come closest?

    The Seymour Duncan ASB Phase 1 are very close in design and rather close in tone. Reverse p coils low impedance with built in preamp. All stock Bart's I've tried are very congested in comparison.
