I have 9 basses but usually only play one per gig (though I do bring my 8 string for a song or two).

That was my feeling also. I just don't want to be without that low B (I have a custom 6 string with both a low B and an even lower F# string). If your pups come in as crap go for the GFS Wild Dogs or equal (I think that they are back-ordered as of now). They are direct replacements and they...

Strung one of my basses with a 0.160 low F# then the rest with regular 5 string bass string. I am sure others do that as well. Any tips out there that could give me a heads up? F#BEADG

There is a small block at the bridge but the strings go through body in an empty part of the body between ferrules. I only have one string that goes through body, the A so I am not terribly concerned. Not sure if I understand what you mean by "Can you send the string end around the inside, and...

I guess it is possible that they have improved the build since I bought mine. It will be a gamble ordering to see what they actually send. Took 4 months for mine to show up at my doorstep.

The neck is very good. They know how to build good guitars just not pups. Come raw will need a full set up.

Fully hollow. String and pups that come with it are unusable. Worse than just bad.

oops DR Hi Beam SMR5-45 strings.

I cheated. The knobs are tone controls TMB. I guess I sould have found a better place to hide them. I gutted the circuit board volume controls and two way switches and just glued the middle of the circuit board up from the back "for looks" to show switches. I put a three band active preamp...

Here is a pic of my aliexpress special. I ended up putting guitarfetish.com GFS Wild Dog pickups in it. Sounds VERY good. great thump and body. Looks pretty traditional beatle bass. I did see this bass back up on aliexpress again. Expect to do some work on it. my bridge came with the...

Aguilar AG 5P/J-HC. Have um on my PJ.

Yes I own this bass. Got it from aliexpress. Pickups were horridly thin sounding. I put Steinberger Spirit 5 string bass pickups in it and a standard 3 band 9VDC preamp. Better but I still us a stomp box preamp to get the signal up where it should be. I leave my A string up through the body...
