Just got a 2nd gen v7 4-string brand-new. Very happy except for the fact that the saddles on the bridge have sharp corners, which while they look very neat & tidy, makes for a very uncomfortable experience when playing down by the bridge (e.g. for palm muting my hand rests partly on the...

Did you ever buy the Iuso pickups? Contemplating getting the hum-canceling TBA54DB but they require a tax ID number, which is my SSN, which I'm disinclined to share over insecure pathways like the guy's website and in print on shipping manifests...

I didn't mention that it was destined for the band saw so my guitarist who was working at said shop just took it home. Gave it to me later, so I'm not too worried about expense (but I do like saving a buck). Appreciate the ideas on pots, thanks

Right on, thank you. I do wonder if it's a solder joint issue, will check

Super helpful, thanks!

Nice idea, thanks. What do you like about the Stinger Stack?

Was given to me. I had the wiring redone by a professional with a good rep but no idea - maybe he made a mistake, everyone does.

I was looking at those, glad to hear a positive review, thank you!

I've searched & scanned here but no joy yet, hence the post; apologies if this is already covered somewhere. This bass has practically no bass - something's wrong with the pickup, wiring, somewhere in there. More specifically, when the tone pot is rolled off completely, The volume decreases...

Saw this has been on Reverb for 7 years...? Guessing b/c it's a spendy bass and yet there doesn't seem to be enough awareness of the brand & so on to help foster a market for the thing. Or maybe it's terrible. I doubt it but am curious about it: Looks gorgeous and from what I can tell it sounds...

Hi. I bought a Gretsch Electromatic (G2220) bass about a month ago and while I really like it, I'm wondering why the pickups sound "hollow" (very midrangey) regardless of the tone setting or the pickup selected. I know the background about the pickups that @LowEndLobster uncovered and while...

I just bought a 2220, shell pink, and am also thinking about swapping for gold h/w. What I can't figure out, though, is why the stock pickups and even the tv jones ones sound so hollow and midrangey. I'd like something fuller but haven't found anything that fits yet. How'd your project go, any...

Yeah, Music Tribe is a dumpster fire. I really like my RH750, especially for its features, most significant of them being the presets (great for maintaining output levels when switching between passive & active basses). But holy hell just try to get a response from MTR when you need anything at...

Heya, got a good answer on resale value, thanks again @hamsterrorist Still wondering if anyone in the SF bay area has an NS Dimension 4 I can try out before I actually go to the trouble of buying one. I miss good musical instrument stores...

Thanks!
