    Nevermind I just clicked on your link and I saw the store page! For some reason when I go directly to their site it won't let me navigate to that page

    How did you place your order? I've been wanting to do so but I can't figure out how through their website or online somewhere else

    Issues with muting on Ibanez EHB 1005MS

    You mean like placing some tin foil underneath the strings in the nut slots? I've never thought of that before. That could be worth a shot.

    Issues with muting on Ibanez EHB 1005MS

    I'm not opposed to using one, but I feel like I shouldn't need to if I could discover what the issue really is. I've never played a bass that I couldn't play cleanly and mute properly, whether 4, 5, or 6 string. Maybe this bass is the exception, idk.

    Issues with muting on Ibanez EHB 1005MS

    I hope I can figure it out soon because I really like this bass, and I enjoy playing it a great deal. But this resonance, or whatever it is, is causing me to second guess myself, and I feel like I'm going crazy trying to diagnose it. I will say that it does only seem to show up on certain...

    Ok I think I can wrap my head around it. Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate the help. I'll either update this thread or make a new one showing off how the bass sounds.

    3-way switch for Neck pickup, Series & Bridge pickup configuration

    Ok so just to clarify, and this may be a silly question, but in that diagram, are there only 3 lugs on the switch? Or are there 3 rows with 6 lugs total? And would that change how I connect the wires to the switch? Thank you for your help

    3-way switch for Neck pickup, Series & Bridge pickup configuration

    Hello everyone. I've looked at dozens of threads on this topic, and I've come close to getting the answer I need but I never feel 100% confident in the information I'm given. Here's what I want to do. I have a Yamaha TRBX605FM, and I'm upgrading the preamp to an Audere Classic 4 band preamp. I...
