I guess that settles it. Wyn it shall be.

Thank you once again for your help. I found another company called Wyn (I'm guessing that you have probably heard of Randall and his basses) that seem to have quite nice prices and also seem to make really cool basses. I just sent him an email with an enquiry and am hoping that he has time to...

Thank you all for your input. Weight is as far as I know not too big of an issue, although balance is. Thank you for the link to warmoth, it does clarify some aspects of tonewoods, but falls short when I start thinking of different combinations of woods and how they interact with each other. I...

Hi. I am in the process of ordering my first ever fully custom bass and have gotten stuck in choosing the wood for the bass. The bass I am looking at would be a 24 fret fender jazz style bass with a neck through construction. Visually I really like the look of darker woods and have recently...

Thank you all for your input on this question. It is nice to see some angles of approach to this issue that I haven't thought of at all. I was going to buy a set of new strings last Saturday and really spend some long hard time with adjusting and measuring, but then my car decided to ruin my...

Bass12. I would not know how to deskribe the tension of the rotosound strings since I do not have any real points of referance other than the exposed core strings of the same brand which arw considerably tighter. If I was to take an un educated guess i would call them medium tension, and thus...

fishheadjoe. The nut is not the culprit in this case as the strings fit perfectly, but thank you for the tip. I had a bass ones that had the nut issue, but it was cut too wide, which resulted in a lot of uncontrollable buzz. The bass was kind of crap, so I fixed it by building up the slot in...

Thank you all for your input. I have my bass strapped quite high, so raising the wrist shouldn't be much of a problem to get a more perpendicular angle of attack. I guess i will just have to fiddle a bit with the pickup height as well as overall neck setup and just get back to work on...

Thank you Turnaround. I didn't see your post until just now when I had already answered darkstorm. As far as I can tell, the strings next to the one being plucked isn't moving at all since i mostly get the problem on the E and B string, and when I am plucking the B string the E string is muted...

Thank you for your reply. I have checked for strings hitting the pickup, but it is not something that I have been able to visually notice. Still it might be the case since the noise isn't at all like the percussive sound of a slap, but rather a more distinctly treble driven click. And i totally...

Hi. I have a slight problem with clicking noises on my bass, especially when using the drive channel on my amp (EBS Fafner 2). The noise is basically caused by the strings hitting the fretboard when playing fingerstyle. The clicks are quite manageable when playing on the clean channel but are...

Thank you eddododo. Do you mean the neatness of the switching system or the schematics? If you mean the schematics, I can't really take credit for it since it is very inspired of a lot of other drawings i found on the net, plus i copy/pasted in a bunch of symbols given the limitations of Ms-Paint.

Ok. So i realize that the schematic is quite hard to read in an efficient way, so i redrew it using the old classic MS-Paint, i hope this will be a bit easier to understand and comment on. The connections are done the exact same way as before, but drawn in a bit more schematic-like fashion. My...

Hi, I have been doing some drafts on some schematics for my new pickups. I am planning to use three 3P4T rotary switches to choose from series, single north, single south and parallel as well as using a third switch as a pickup selector. The schematics were just hand drawn with a ballpoint on...

Ok. Thank you again. I think i will place the order right away now that i know enough.
