I have played the SR4605, it is an awesome instrument that will surprise you each time you play her. What a great choice!

My wife surprised me with a Fender Jazz birthday cake - she knows which is my favourite axe! (And no- my real bass' headstock does not look like that...)

OK, all the talk of pickups, pre amp type, preamp settings etc etc, all along my issue was just a simple string height adjustment (out by 1mm across the board) and a new set of strings - just because the bass comes new with good (Elixir strings) does not mean that they are new - mine infact were...

Thanks so much for this info - yes, there is a mids frequency switch - 3 way between 250 450 and 700hz. I must honestly say that i am working on what this all means. I have an sr500 which i really only played with the preamp set at zero for all.. When in active everything is very much magnified...

Yea, the passive toggle switch is used quite often.. passive sound is great.

Thanks for your response, i did have an Sr1605 prior to my SR5005, the Nordstrands were great but the playability was not a touch on the 5005. I do have an active / passive toggle switch which i do use on the 50005. passive sound is great but active sound seems far too sensitive. However, if...

Enjoy your weekend! It seems you have a great project - send some final pics and info on how she feels and sounds

I am quite interested in this discussion and reasons for the proposed change of preamp in a 5005 - mine is a 2017 year ( purchased new 2022) shop demo.,, Yes, i agree it is a little difficult to get a Great tone sometimes using this guitar, but she is awesome, why do you both propose a new Pre...

Beautiful - you will enjoy her each time you play! I have had my Sr5005 for 2months and i still find new sounds and have an extreme excitement each time i flick open the latches on her case! Enjoy

"Fender Schmeder" - that was my response regarding advice to play an old school bass that has not kept up with the times - i was dead against it and recently went my way purchasing a really great SR5005 pictured below. AND THEN THIS HAPPENED!!!! I visited a music store specialising in used gear...

Said like you have a some good experience. Such a simple gesture but i did not even think of this! Thanks!!!

I visited a music store specialising in used gear yesterday, between meetings, on a business trip. What do i see - a newly traded Fender Jazz American standard. I ran over and carefully lifted her from the rack. At this time, randomly, some strangers are arranging a 12 bar blues jam in the store...

I have had my Behringer 4500H amp for 18 years, never had a problem with it. I am looking to upgrade though... my father and I made a 15" speaker cab for the amp and that was my rig for 15 years until i got a Hartke 4.5xl cab which i now use with the behringer head. the first amp that i ever...

Thanks so much for all the input - i have some good options to review and shop for now. So Cans it is - Thanks!

This is a real man talking! Take no BS and reward yourself!
