I think you are spot on regarding the frets. Mine have a slightly gold/bronze appearance and the neck on the Sienna finish I have and the aged Candy Apple Red appears to have a slight tint to it. I thought the Pearl White I saw in the store last had a more traditional light colored maple, but...

Guys, I know I may ruffle some feathers based on previous post in this thread, but I used new wd40 specialist contact cleaner for electronics on my volume pot and in my active/passive toggle. I removed the set screw and sprayed ever so slightly down the pot shaft and turn it back and forth and...

I just

Sorry for the delayed reply. The first two were from Guitar Center. The third was a pbass in Maui blue as I found the inlays to hard to see on the maple. It has the rosewood board. That was the one with a ding in the body contour. It happened during shipping and that one came from a shop owner...

Have to check out the blues. I use EBs and find them very bright when new as well.

I use Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky roundwounds. Have for years. They have always worked well for me. I do have a set of DR LoRiders on my Jazz and they sound good and full but feel stiffer than the the slinkys.

Feeling out the reactions from the new owners. I recently ordered a Maui Blue new MIJ Jazz. It came in new with a large ding with cracked finish on top where your forearm would sit while playing. The second came with multiple finish cracks in the neck pocket which I’d typically overlook but not...

Just ordered a Squier CV 70's P bass. Read nothing but great things about these, BUT after much excitement I received my Surf Green Limited edition this afternoon and it's going back. The frets are sharp and put fine slits in my fingertips just running my hand down the neck. The volume knob...

I mentioned in a prior post that I had to swap to a fender control panel cover for the larger diameter pots in the Obsidian harness and how it left a small gap between the cover and the pick guard. I reached out to Tagima and ordered another cover. The intention was to drill out the new cover...

I e played the Sterling and liked it. The G&L I would need to order to play. There are none locally.

So, I am at the same crossroads. I have been looking to buy a Sterling Ray 34. I found a great deal on a Kiloton Tribute and I don't know if I should pull the trigger or go with my original idea of a Ray 34

I purchased a TW-73 recently with the same idea to make it a mod bass. I replaced the pups with some Duncans and I upgraded the pots and control panel with an Obsidian harness. I did run into a few snags. The diameter of the pots were larger than the OEM control cover holes. I purchased a...
