Yeah Michele, it looks like I need to play around with finding a balance between the neck relief and the bridge action. I just need to take more time with it. A huge thanks for your input! KoaFodera, right now the neck it almost completely straight, and I think that's the main problem. Adding...

That is a stunning fingerboard...like having a presentation top on your neck! Do you keep your action really low, or is it the angle of the pic? Just curious because winter here in the mid Atlantic has wreaked havoc on my intonation, neck and ebony fingerboard. I did a setup a month ago but...

I agree with Rich. I would add that the attack of the ebony is quicker. Maybe try a Kingwood board? Jason tapped some for me when I was at the shop...sounded very nice. A good option between Indian RW and Ebony.

I have a Mahogany/Ash/Mahogany body on my Monarch. It's a bolt-on with Ebony FB, but FWIW it's very rich and punchy. Plenty on crunch/low end thump. Lot's of mid range growl, if that's what you like. It's very versatile though. Gets a great slap tone and sounds great with the bridge pup soloed...

Thanks guys!

The Monarch looks fantastic in Holly..congrats!

Schwing for swag!

I can't view the attachment:thumbsdown:

I did the exact same thing on my monarch. I realized that where my fingers were playing 95% of the time was right over the back PUP...which was not the case with previous basses. The Poles bugged me as well, so on went non exposed covers. A much better feel, although I am toying with the idea of...

Beautiful pic! Strangely poetic next to the tree..

Good to know! They seem to know what they're doing
