Sorry for the delayed response guys! Just got home and getting ready for a show! I would sell it, but I doubt I'd live it very quickly, and as I stated before, I like everything else about it lol. It's cheesy and goofy, but I'm in a cover band in NJ, the armpit of the country, people live it...

I was acctually thinking about something like that, only problem I saw with it was that I would have to bring the strap across the front side of the horn or up parallel with the horn itself. that might lead to slipping or worse, snapping the horn tip off if I pushed down the wrong way or...

There's just something inherently wrong with mounting anything that stresses or pulls on the neck area to me, and that would cause it to kick forward even more. :hmm: Damn B.C. and their crazy ass designs... :-)

The last three basses I got, I got at a steal! Traben Array attack, $89.00 bucks from a stupid shop owner who was purging gear (Retailed between $600-$700 when I picked it up). Ibanez SR 1205 FL 1994 for $300 bucks, hadn't been touched in almost 12 years :-) Retailed new in 94 around...

Thanks guys, even for the silly ideas lol, trust me, I'm not rulling anything out yet! BUUUUT... I noticed last night when I was taking the strings off, that there is a second design issue with the dumb thing, the studs being on the back are allowing the whole body to fall forward from the...

Touche'! Lol, it's cool, I started as a tech for years in aviation and electrical fields long before being degreed and eventually the audio industry, I can take the pokes... :-)

Thanks Low-E, I had overlooked them as a manufacturer, I was only able to locate the Gotoh Res-O-Lite that was mentioned before, which are rather pricey!

Yeah, meaning the theory that just the tuners alone being replaced will remedy the situation enough that I can consider the problem "fixed", not Newton's law of gravity with respect to relative rotational forces. That's not in question here lol.

Playing only covers, I'm also running PA, so long and short it's my job to help keep us "sounding" right. As such, the more top 40's, Dance, and Hip-Hop stuff we have had to add has put a huge strain on me finding the right effects to make the newer over-produced crap sound as recognizable as...

Good mathmatical plan! I assume I'll have to break into it to prove or disprove the theory. Thanks for the input! :ninja:

Thanks guys, I know completely that the leverage gets exponentially greater the further away from the forward stud I go, but I can't begin to explain how severly unbalanced the thing is lol, and to boot, 1-200 bucks on tuners can't POSSIBLY add up to the weight this thing drops! I'm at work at...

Hey guys, been plowing around the forum today in a desperate attempt at convincing myself that I can keep this damn bass... Which I want to, but I'm fighting a severe issue: Neck Dive. Now there are several posts on the topic, several ideas on how to fix it, and none of them seemingly at...

Exactly, based on that info, play orig and make them sign a disclaimer that they can't use your material without giving credit and identification, ect. There is PLENTY of people out there to speak to. Talk to any local firm and I'm sure they'd be glad to help or even file the copyright for you.

I'm SERIOUSLY considering this lol. Hmmm lol. If only it wasn't off their sellout album/video hahaha... Grr, gonna sleep on it!! :p

Long story short... That's their disclaimer saying that you take full responsibility if any artist, agency, label, whoever, decides to come after you for playing their copyright material (Ie. Covers). Does this mean you'll get in trouble for playing "Freebird"? No way to tell... I can say...
