If it's not loose set screws (There are 4 in each saddle), you may check underneath to find some black dust or metal shavings rattlin around underneath/between the saddles. Wouldn't surprise me. I experienced rattle when leaving the set screws loose but since the nut swap and setup I've...

Fun set-up. Still experimenting with drives. Rat is cool if the filter is all the way to the right to minimize low end loss. Any thoughts on a RAT for bass? Been looking at the Source Audio Aftershock recently but not sure about digital distortion.. Sounded best to my ears on some YT shootouts

Hey man, I experienced this as well so here's something to consider to help get it right for you: I left the lengthy review on sweetwater about this bass so feel free to chime in if you agree too with but this may help your action sitch: I have a very good tech and being a very picky player I...

Hi, reviving this thread again... I pre-ordered an SR1605B (Caribbean flat) earlier this month through Sweetwater. As excitement grows, I am left wondering why they don't offer the ability to choose your pickup config at the time of ordering, esp for pre-order that was 3 months out. I'm no...

Have an SR1605B on preorder

Nice bass, Nice shirt! How are the Big singles, noisy at all? I see you sold it, just curious if you ever recorded with it?

I'm excited to have the SR1605B in hand. I just pre-ordered mine, set to ship in April... Caribbean shoreline flat. After using an SR500 from 2007 for the last 12 years I'm ready for the upgrade. I am nervous about the Nordstrand pickups being noisy, as I'm used to the Bart dual coils but I...

What are your thoughts on the latest rendition of the the custom designed Ibanez Preamps with Nordstrand Big Singles? I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that they are stellar and a perfect match covering any ground I need and more, however I remember a lot of threads on folks switching...

I've owned my Ibanez SR500 for almost 12 years now. It's the 2007-2008 model, y'know with the 9-volt active EQ and Bartolini Mk-1 pickups, before they added the preamp switch or different wood at the base of the neck. Well after all this time, aside from minor cosmetic things, (I’ve effectively...

2 GS 112's arrived yesterday. The pair blows my 410 HLF Ampeg out of the water in punchy bass and solid response. I am coupling them with TH500 and could not be happier. The horn on the HLF is nice because I take bass solos, use envelope filters and octave pedals etc. it's a really clear...

Just tried this today for about 15 minutes. Much better than my Ampeg 2bre for SURE! I would probably advise against it though since I believe this cabinet is a bit muddy. It's tuned for a low B, personally I play a 4 string and I always find myself getting too loud to find my self in the mix. I...

Yaaah!!
