Thanks, Mike, for your reply. I'll definately check out the saddle and how it affects to PU. Dave

I recently posted about my Ibanez AEB10B's weak low E string when amplified. Do other ABG players experience the same problem, and what have you done to resolve the issue. Thanks for your replies Dave

Thanks, G. That was one of my thoughts, also. My choice of strings might also have something to do with it, even though I experienced the same problem with the stock strings. I put a set of D'addario flat wound Chromes light gauge strings on it but there may be a better choice. This is my...

Hi, I just purchased a used Ibanez AEB10B Acoustic Bass that I'm primarily going to use for unamplified practice at home. That being said, I notice that, when amplified, the low E is at least 1/2 the volume of the other strings. Has anyone else experienced this, and what have you done to...

I also noticed that they're still being carried by MF. Being on a fixed income, I can't afford the high-end stuff any more so the Squier CV instruments have been a real blessing. I know there are others in the same situation. As MF and GC are the same company, I hope that they're not just...

Hi I just picked up a 5123B at the Las Vegas GC on Thursday. Serial No. KS11073665 (I think the last number is a five...very poor handwriting) Wonderful bass with lots of bottom end. The cool factor is off the charts and plan on trying flatwounds on it. Dave

Hello. I am trying to locate a Luthier in Southern California to possibly re-hab my old King upright. A number of years ago I posted this same inquiry but finances didn't allow me to pursue. Now I've got some extra cash and I'd like to get some estimates. Any assistance is appreciated...
