    How far is it from the bridge to the pickup on a stingray?

    Hi what's bridge saddle zero point? As in the saddle about to fall off the intonation screw, the saddle with the screw tightened to the max, or something else? I also need to know the position of the bridge pickup on a Stingray short scale. Does anybody own one of those?

    Anyone ever heard of "TENDER" brand bass? Pics inside!

    Hi I once Google translated a Japanese blog tracing the origins of the 'Tender' brand. A man took his Tender strat guitar to be inspected by a person in the guitar business who felt that the workmanship / parts specification was very 'Tokai-ish'. On closer inspection, they found the Tokai brand...

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    The Furman doesnt have to be in a rack. I could shove it into my backpack. I've read about these class D heads blowing their internal fuses and just want to protect mine a little. But what you said makes a lot of sense. I totally forgot about the weight of all the gear. Being able to move it...

    Does that have the 'sweetened' tuning settings for bass? I've heard a lot about the brand.

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    The only other tuner I could find is a peterson but that costs twice as much. No fancy Christmas lights, I can turn it off and it uses a standard power cable. Someone suggested a used korg dtr1 which I am searching for locally. Interestingly, I found an instrument cable by Daddario that has a...

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    Yea I know I have to get my act together not just the rig. If I sound out of tune nothing else matters. More practice! :bassist:

    Why didnt I think of this? I could just set it perpendicular to the cab and no one will see it! Thanks!

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    Hey Rip! I scored a class D ampeg portaflex 350W head with a beat up 115 cab. It's a start! Now I'm looking for a cheap Furman M10 LXE and a tuner rack. The thing with this particular model is that theres a start up delay of 'a few seconds' according to the manufacturer. I'm just worried about...

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    Nah it was funny, no apologies are necessary. We're good. :laugh: Yes I'm just starting to play fretless and am just nervous that the first few rows can actually see when I havent hit the right pitch. When the music sucks, the tuner gets rewarded with attention :laugh: Heck of a feature.

    Do you plug the tuner into a surge protector when you do use it? And can you see the display on a bright day outdoors?

    Tuner out - can it be turned off?

    Hi, I'm thinking of running a cable from the tuner out of the amp into a Korg Pitchblack Pro rack tuner. Problem is I dont want the tuner on all the time. I especially hate that others can watch the tuber and tell that I'm out of tune when I'm playing. It makes me nervous. The tuner has a...
