Like this SX? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The pickguard is morrored like the pickguard of steve harris blue P bass or it is opaque chrome (like the gold pickguard of some pbass, but chrome)?

JaySeeDoubleYou Thanks a lot for your opinion. Do you think that the squier pickups are worse than fender pickups? In any case, to do a pickup upgrade is very simple, even I can do this, and the final price will remain lower than the price of MIM fender.

The bass isn't for me. It's for a friend that have played for more than 20 years. He already had these basses: factor x, ibanez sr505, cort gb94, rockbass corvette 5c. A month ago he sold all these basses and now want a Pbass to start again his collection. The question is: He doesn't want to...

Musicians friend doen't ship anything to Brasil. I asked it few time ago. And what do you think about the song of this squier? it's close to the sound of fender precision? And the action and finish?

Hi, first of all, sorry about my poor english. A friend of mine wants a new bass and as we live in Brazil, the prices are "a litle" high. He wants a passive 4 string Pbass and these are the options: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed The squier costs 610USD and fender costs 1600 USD...

I was lookink for cheap pickups to upgrade my sx sjb'75 and found these tonerider pickups. For me is very difficult to buy a set of seymour duncan, emg or fender because these brands are too expensive in Brazil. I need cheap but high quality pickups, and here the set of tonerider costs...

The neck is a litle bigger but with the time you can adapt with them. It isn't hard to play - IMO the only disadvantage are the more tense strings.

Some of these bassses don't seems to have a ash body Link Removed

You're right - not all available information is reliable, but I know how to filter these information. I'm asking this because according EB website the sr and sterling models is made of "Selected Hardwoods" but they don't tell what wood is hardwood.

They're using cheaper wood in sr models too? I know that sub is made of polpar and bongo have a basswood body, but i don't know too much about the SR woods. Some of them seem to be made of alder, other of ash.

You're so lucky! I'm brazilian and to buy a new eb mm sting ray 5 I need to spent something arround U$3500! It is the highest price that I can spent with basses. But not in a single bass - I prefer a 2 $1500 basses and $500 amp.

I never played a artcore or take one in my hands to look to bridge details. Which are the adjustments? Height and intonation for each string?

Beautiful bass... How about the tone? Looking to your pics I see that the bridge seems to have no height or entonation adjustments. Is it a problem for this bass?

The sound will be better after change pots? My doubt is if good quality pots which can let the sound pass freely, without any interference can give me a better tone.
