    Have you tried a different cable? If you have a low quality cable end it may fail and show all of those signal loss and buzzing problems.

    Anyone know what type of screw I would have to buy to replace a couple of the bridge screws that attach it to the body? Long story short I picked up the wrong screw driver that was too small and cranked it.

    Damn I can get a nasty raw sounding bright grind even with my dead ass flat wounds on this bass, and I can make it disgusting (good) sounding with the high mids sweep. This is a great bass for someone who only changes their strings once they are beaten and performing like crap.

    I find that the pickup sweetspot on my bass is farther away than I would normally think to put the height, but it increases the clarity and thump drastically compared to the pickups being just a tad bit higher. Don't forget to correct the pickup angle when making height adjustments.

    Yeah, the Cobalt flats are my favorite string. They have a nice smooth feel, and great highs and grindy mids that sound like DR Hi Beam rounds with a Bright flatwound bottom end. After a while the top end fades and you are left with nice barking lows/mids that sound like TI flats. For some...

    My Hipshot 3 string tree arrived today. It is way better than the old button tree. Screwed on right over the old screw hole.

    I had my bass for around a day before I ripped off those zingy stock string bastards and put on my cobalt flats I had laying around. I got my growl back and I'm happy.

    I just opened up my control plate on my v7 and there was some dirt and some wood shavings all stuck to the preamp board and a ton under the foam solder cover. I dusted it out and nothing seems to be wrong with it. Check your control cavities if you haven't already. Still very happy with the...

    Today I received my bass that I ordered on November 30th. Gig bag is real nice quality. Neck had a bit too much relief for my taste out of the box. After flattening the neck a bit and adjusting the saddles and the pickups, this bass plays and sounds very good. Both pickups sound very deep and...
