Question: If going with an EMG Solderless P/J replacement -The American Switch is what I need? The EMG 3 way comes in 2 variations on their website: A North American-N/A- switch and a smaller Metric one. Thanks.

I know this thread is dated. But, EMG Lists 2 different 3 way switches on the website. Does anyone know if the beefier NA switch or the smaller metric one would fit into a new Fender Player MIM Mustang bass? Thanks in advance.

Just got this baby-Could Not resist the price-German-Made Artist 500/1 for$1590+$65UPS and only $95 in Customs duty from Thomann in Bavaria. Merry Christmas to me!!

Pulled the trigger on the German-Made “Artist” 500/1. Gorgeous bass and pays a lot more smoothly than the Ignition. Sound quality? Maybe better. But the price was the deal! Buy from Germany if you want a Hofner. Thomann prices can’t be beat! The extra customs duty was only $95. Still saved over...

Same boat here. I have played my Ignition for a while and want to get a 'Real' German-made Hofner. I priced the Artist Model and it is made in Germany with what Hofner calls "more efficient means of production. Price right now on Reverb, new, is $2,300. YET, when I search Thomann in Germany, the...

Look for this sweet spot-You see it, it’s real. NICE FIND

Just priced a 500/1 Artist Violin on Reverb-$2,300 BUT at Thomann IN Germany-Same bass-$1,555+$65 UPS Shipping-CRAZY Discrepancy.

I get this thread is old, but I am pricing Hofners right now. The least expensive of the true German-Made models-The 500/1 Artist violin bass is currently about $2,300-$2,600 here in the U.S-Reverb and online stores. HOWEVER-Thomann IN Germany had it for $1,555+$65 UPS SHIP-Crazy right?

sold it on eBay for $500 as is. Nice little profit.($80 for shipping). Ric clones are gold..even rank amateur ones.

Not so much the visual. I would rather it sit flush than show the gap from raising it. However; I was more interested to see if anyone else had this happen and what they did or didn't do? The sound is still good and muddy.

Hi all. Quick question: Anyone else install a DiMarzio Model one humbucker in their EB-0?? Read that it was a direct replacement drop in, and it does fit..Except, it sits super low from the strings. Still sounds okay, but I have never had a bass PU that far from the strings. I added some foam to...

Really just need the pickguard - How's $40.00 shipped to MA??

Hi: Still selling this?? If so, I'll take it for 165$
