If you're buying new, Musikraft let's you pick specific Fender Custom shop neck profiles in addition the to their standards. I really like the one I feel into from them. Wish the radius was rounder, but I got a great deal on it used.

I'm a CTS kinda guy here. They feel good and they've always held up well for me.

Depending on which pickup that is that switch could be doing a lot of different things. Best bet would be to shoot Jake an email with the serial number and he'll shoot you a breakdown. I'm the meantime, does the middle pickup hum when soloed? What about the neck? Does the hum go away if you pull...

I recently got my wife an EV Everse8 and I've been tempted to try it for a gig. It's super light

Just give him my number and safe yourself the trip. Lol. Seriously though, Houston is an hour away from Houston as it is.

Hey ya'll before I list it, anybody looking for a single Gibson Modern+ pickup?

Cioks Sol is a little more budget friendly if you never need more than 5 possible outputs. That's what I run on my travel NANO board. Powers my Stomp, Cali76, and Neptunium and a USB cable I run to my phone on the off chance I need charts or something.

MusicMan Dark Ray 5 string and a parts P bass. I'll write up a whole "answers revealed" post later tonight. Then I'll get to work on my next "shootout." I have some ideas for that one.

I just used and moved one of the new Oracles. That was a great sounding pre for sure. But for me it was the form factor and conveniences built into the Neptunium that made me sell it. For someone rocking a full size pedalboard, with the right power supply, it's an awesome piece. And there are...

Tuna fish and peanut butter.

I really enjoy doing these, and I have a few plans in mind to spice things up a little.

As a bass player you have to realize that your sound on your own and your sound with a band are two totally different things. A super scooped thumpy sound solo will turn into a muddy, undefined blob of a tone with a group. On a P w/ DTFs I would rock my EQ pretty flat. Maybe a slight bump...
