Thanks everyone!

I'm very curious about how to properly use compression, what (preferably pedal) compressors you recommend, and a good baseline (no pun intended) where to start as far as dialing in ratio/threshold, etc. I'm a rock bassist who primarily uses a pick. I currently play in a hardcore/punk band, and...

Gorgeous bass! And I appreciate your (and everyone's) advice. That's the pickguard and position I'll be using.

I should add .. I don't wanna spend $2000 on his new signature, when I'm fine with Mexican made components, and have the ability to modify those parts.

I gotta ask this, because it seems Mark Hoppus (bassist for blink 182... Please reserve your opinions on regarding his playing style, etc.) redesigned his signature Fender bass (previously a jazz bass body/neck with just a p bass pickup). Now it's a jazz bass body, but with a p bass neck...

Rotosounds are $23 ;)

The rep that I spoke to was the guy I was directed to when I called Yamaha/ampeg and inquired about the bulb (and parts in general). He said ampeg doesn't carry them for resale, and the only source he could give me was loudtechnologies.eu part number (49-205-01). It's a $5 bulb, but shipping...

Dougjwray That would be a good start. What would you like for the existing parts, and how do we proceed?

Could I still make it work with the missing part?

I have a 2021 700rbii that I bought used, and didn't include the rack kit GK's website has been sold out since I bought it. Does anyone know of any aftermarket rack kits that are either universal or make a direct fit for this model?

I have an LTD Surveyor 4. It's less than 10 years old, but has a lot of miles on it. In the last year or so, I noticed the neck bend/flexes as I play and move on stage... So much to a point that I can hear it affecting pitch. The neck responds to truss rod adjustments, so I know it's not loose...
