    Hipshot Kickass, Cannot Get Intonation Even Close—Please Help!

    If you've ever seen Leland Sklar's bass (the most recorded bass in history according to his camp and others), he has two reverse positioned P bass pickups (bridge and neck).The thought process is more even tone. As you get closer to the neck, the B or E string will be louder than the higher...

    Hipshot Kickass, Cannot Get Intonation Even Close—Please Help!

    Forgive me if I missed this part, and you talked about it, but did you try and use the smaller screws that come with the bridge, in case you have intonation issues? The part that holds the brass saddle doesn't have a hole at the end, so with the longer screws you end up reaching it's max......It...

    Low output on new pickup

    What's the ohm rating on each? Is it possible you're using a very high output neck to go along with a lower output bridge? If that's the case, you will have to lower the neck to almost body level and the bridge to right below string level to get it close. When choosing pickups, it's very...

    Very Wild "PICKUPS" By SENTELL

    I feel i have to chime in on this, even if it's old. Sentell Pickups....At least the set I have and use, are amazing Jazz pickups. My only two complaints would be that he used a shell that is not very rounded around the edges, and if I smooth it out, it will be noticeable...However, I didn't...

    Sentell Jbass Pickups

    Which ones, if you dont mind me asking?According to one review I read, supposedly his precision pickups are great too. he’ll even put them in a music man shell. If I had one complaint it’s that he put thin wire leads on mine, but I got a great deal and I can always add a little shielding and a...
