Thanks 60bass. Just for the record, this company has been excellent! Replaced it once just after buying (one output was dead - A I think). They quickly sent out a replacement with a call tag, I just opened the box took out the new and pout in the old and back it went. I didn't miss a beat...

Hey anyone else have this problem? I got a brand new ShuttleMax 1200 a few years ago. It has mostly been in my dry (socal) garage/studio. I wanted to start using it on gigs again but, the master, channel volume and some of the other pots have become very VERY, noisy. Loud cracks when...

I got into the medium scale due to a pinched nerve in my neck. I used to have a G&L (boat anchor) SOUNDED FENOM but, killed my neck. I even tried to strap it around my waist, then i drilled a hole in the body, mounted it to a Slingerland cymbal stand. That was kinda cool for a while. Back in...

Will keep the eyes open for you Factor.....

B-E-A-utiful man! Every time a truck rolls down your street.... You'll be lookin' I wish it was me!

Anyone have, or know where to get, a schematic for the electronics of a pre Fender 97" 18 volt? Please don't reply with the obvious.... "ask Phil."

Yea, I see your point. I looked at my set up and the saddles in the posted pictures do look high compared to mine. Not sure why they are that high. If this is a case of "bad set up" I'd have to say, it's rare.

I just re-read this... Did you really mean to say you start at 100 and end up at 120 ??? I'm not knocking your style or choices but, that's a huge increase. That's going from Andante to Allegro in one song. I don't know of any pieces with that kind of change. Unless your writing movie...

I've come to the conclusion, I will sit down with the band with the shaky drummer and explain in plain English... A group of musicians playing together have certain expectations. 1. Everyone plays in the same key. 2. Everyone starts and ends the songs together. 3. Everyone plays at the SAME...

I like what Stumbo illustrated. What he is describing is a little principle that's been around since the 30's (that I know of). I heard it from my dad. He knew guys from the 30's and 40's. The Triangle of Truth. A good situation has three sides: 1. Fun 2. Knowledge 3. Money 1. It has...

I totally agree! Music should breath, if the band plays a verse and rolls up slightly to exaggerate the chorus, or the song moves into a pumping solo section, perfect. If all are in agreement, it will sound great. But, if the drummer (as one of my current drummer does) starts at 115 but ends...

I have always adhered to the rule "it's not the instrument, it's the player." But, I have to say... When I got my ExFactor, I instantly became a better player. Could be just in my mind but, I don't think so. LOL

I have to express my opinion here. I've have had several occasions to speak and deal with Phil before and after I bought my bass. He is a stand up guy, honest and more than willing to help pre AND post sales. If there is problem with a product, he WILL make it right - Period! I'm...

Wow, "The Beat Goes On" Totaly glad the thread is continuing... I'm just visiting to subscribe. Go GENZ !

Sirmoog, An afterthought... If the bass was set up correctly from the factory, only the neck could have changed. The saddles should still be correct. Once you re-adjust the neck, it should return to being a great player. If you change string thickness, you will have to re-set the intonation.
