Looked all over. Followed a diagram DiMarzio sent me and when it didn’t work properly, I called and they said “yup it’s incorrect.” Anyone have one that is known to work.

As I mentioned, I purchased it online. If you want to return a broken item, you’re stuck with astronomical shipping charges even if it was misrepresented. That’s the scam. If I was able to look at the bass or if accurate photos were posted or if the damage was mentioned when I spoke to the...

I think the strings were repeatedly and violently slammed against the frets. So no, not normal. They over-charge for shipping to deter returns. And they don’t reimburse shipping even when they ship damaged instruments. Lesson learned.

I wouldn’t buy anything online from the crooks at the MGR in Fort Worth. My son saved up to but a bass that “had no issues” and he received a bass with mangled frets. Sure, they except returns but minus the $120 for shipping both ways. These guys are despicable criminals, they concealed the...

Amazon has the Kay K5970 for $310 with the hardshell case.

The Kay K5970 is $310 with the hardshell case on amazon.

I did the same and it also helped a bit. Still not ideal. I'm thinking of returning it and seeing if I can win this used one I saw on eBay (which is a lot less than I paid) to see if the issue is hit or miss. The eBay one seems to be in new condition so I guess it can't hurt. All in all it plays...

I'm having the same issue even with string/bridge height adjustments. I have the H1 with no piezo and its very noticeable. That issue aside, both of my univox hi fliers (early phase 2 with p90's and phase 4 with humbuckers) and my Hofner very thin bass have a much more unique and well rounded...

Yes, it's odd that it's exposed. I'll remove it. Should solve the mystery.

Thanks.

Thank you, appreciate the suggestions
