PM'ed about neck earlier, pm not received?

Is the string buzzing against a fret somewhere? Is the string twisted?

Put me down for the bridge pickup if anyone out there wants the neck.

Hey Lucy, Thanks for the suggestion, I measured low 10k on the P pickups so the ultra J would probably fit better with its 12k output over the 8k area j but I haven't done enough research to clearly select one over the other. I have read that the Ultra J is a bit more scooped sounding, which is...

thanks for the tips, sounds like area-j may be the ticket.

Hey folks, I'm looking for a Jazz pickup to compliment the sound of fender's "original" 62 P-bass pickup for use in a PJ configuration. I know I can go either very different, like dimarzio model J, or I could go something more classic sounding. What would you guys suggest? Anybody have a...

There are a couple of GHS models, the pressurewound/bright flats/precision flats. Dark and thumpy sounds good for finger, but I want to be able to get a good snap in the mids if I use a pick. Can you or anyone else compare any of those to other flats out there, i'm just not familiar with chrome...

Excellent idea, in fact I've already tried it, but it doesn't work in this situation for a couple of reasons related to the bridge design. The biggest issue is that because of the short distance, and because the hole is as close to the body as it can be, the angle is really sharp and the top of...

an old uncommon model with its own bridge, the exact distance from where the ball is caught to the saddle is a little over 2cm, so figure 1/2 of an inch or so max silk coverage.

yeah the distance ball end to saddle is really short, and it seems many shorts have long bridges to deal with this sort of issue already. Anybody ever have to deal with such a situation?

Does anybody make non-floppy shortscales? The scale needs to be really short, like 28/29", and the silk at the ball end needs to be either gone or extend less than an inch maximum. Is there a type of string I should be looking for given the shortness of the scale and the silk requirements at...

Yeah its normal, it usually takes a lot of playing before they lose that weird metallic sound and gain the smooth and articulate tone that everyone loves.

oh :hiding: The only thing I can think of would be to swap the metal part with a pickguardian.

there was another thread

I think he was joking, you can take it off no problem.
