I'm new to bass, and I got my one bass a few months ago. I'd like a rick, but I know that's in my dreams and that I won't get one for years. But it's still fun to think about having one. I'm happy with my SX PJ for now.

I think lifting/high frets could be prevented by a neck cover. Similar to pickup covers, a neck cover would be a piece of metal that covers the entire neck. Pickup covers prevent pickups from falling out, so why couldn't a neck cover prevent frets from falling out?

I think I'll bypass the oil so I can be on fire anytime I play. Also, what's the best way to shield my pickup covers? I'm getting some pretty bad single coil hum.

Can I make my own pickup covers out of sodium?

Can I get extended range pickup covers?

Maybe when I have my license (I might just have the money by then :p). I still think used is the best way for me to get one. I just don't see myself shelling out all that cash for full price. Although it might be worth it to at least try out some new ones. There are a few music stores here...

I hear that pickup covers for your upright drastically improve tone.

The second link seems more like he meant 175-200.

EDIT: Nvm, there are multiple transmitters. Their site does show that there's one in Sacramento.

Sorry, I have a location added now. The bold part seems to be the best course of actions. Also, I didn't see a dealer in my area. Most were either LA-area or Northern California.

I don't know. I'd think painter's tape wouldn't leave much of a residue, but I'd wait for someone more experienced to chime in.

From what I've heard, traditional lines are plastic inlayed in the fingerboard, so that's out of the question. You could do a little tape piece or something at the 12th if you know the scale length.

Where would I be able to try one out? There are a couple on craig's list, but I'd feel like a jerk going to try one out without the intention of buying.
