Thanks! :)

Anyone know the part numbers for these pickups (also the 4-string part numbers)?

I am building my first custom bass and am looking for pickups. I really like these pickups for two reasons: Their looks (they're fat and phat) Their functionality (built-in thumb rest) So, my questions are: Can I get these pickups directly from Yamaha, do you think? If so, how exactly...

Cool, because I was eyeing those Gretches... specifically, this one. :) I have seen mixed reviews on the Bigsby tailpiece, however... :( Is there another vibrato that can be put in, with minimum effort, if necessary?

So if I were to get a baritone guitar that had a 30" scale, put Bass VI strings on it, and tune it E to E, I could have something comparable to a Bass VI, yes? Like one of these? Baritone Guitars - Sweetwater

I like my P bass, but not the chrome hardware. Where can I get the black stuff?

Resurrecting a 16 year-old thread, but for a good reason. I am considering the SR505E in Brown Mohogany. :) One of the complaints I have read in reviews is how easy it is to mar the finish. I have to admit, paying ~$700 for a bass and having to baby the finish kinda bothers me a bit. Why...

Nice!!

As a newbie myself, I get this. However, when sending it in, I would have measured string height prior, then after, to at least see what was done. I'd also try to understand the relationship between neck straightness and truss rod settings, and ask the tech if there were adjustments made there...

Maybe it's just me then. :meh:

Likewise, I have never heard anyone say, "You know, I'm glad I sold that ________." (Fill in the blank with musical instrument, car, Apple stock, etc.)

Jackson makes the Minion, but I am not sure how comparable it is. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Exactly!! I think I'm going to let sleeping dogs lie.

The plot thickens. As does the blood going through the brain on this neophyte. :wideyed: The SB900 has active pickups. There is all kinds of stuff going on inside the guitar (see pic), and at this point I am not sure i want to even mess with it. I am considering buttoning it back up and...

Pretty much, yes - all the hardware, some of the electronics (pickups only, should I replace the pots while I am in there?) It looks like this is the black equivalent: Switchcraft : Product Summary Do I need something that is that long? I've never been inside of a guitar before, so I don't...
