I have one that I just picked up at GC, in the Satin Black. Its really a sharp color, and its a dark stain, that the Grain of the wood shows through. (please disregard the mess in the background, its my test station at work!)

so fassa, now that you have proven t us that you can post pics, there goes your number one excuse! show us the shergold, the banged up yamaha, the shredded gig bag, and the million other things that you made up over the years with the veiled excuse that you "didn't have a working camera." now...

yes, i started out on the guitar, and was constantly reying to downtune and get more of a "thud" out of my sound... one day this kid at a party i was at said after he tried one of my guitars" damn kid, why not just play the bass?" and it was like someone had just turned on the lights. never...

and prices going up during a recession is all to common. think about it. the more units you sell, the less you can charge for each, and still make the same profit. when you sell less units, such as during a recession, each one of the units must carry a higher percentage of the total profit. so...

just so you know, fenders list price is approx 30% higher than anyone actually sells them for. for proof, look at any instrument on gutarcenter.com, or any other website that sells basses. there is a list price, and a selling price. the list is always MUCH higher.. its a sales tactic.

you do realize that NOBODY charges the MSRP, right? talk a look at Musiciansfriend, or guitarcenter.com.. you will see MSRP is always higher that the actual price. its just a marketing tactic.

try a different cable... sounds like a total ground problem

yes, we electricians have all sorts of really cool tricks up our sleeves! hhehehe seriously, glad to help!

yes, give us symptoms.. it helps with diagnosis a lot.

you can solder the wires together if you want, its perfectly fine, just lookup "western union splice" on google.. its a super neat way of doing it that is no wider than the original wire.

dude, go to your local friendly buffet restaurant, and ask them for like 2 feet of the aluminum foil that they have there, its like twice as thick, and will stand up much better to tearing.

on my amp, my settings NEVER seem to change (caveat: I use a passive volume pedal to set volume) But I am constantly changing settings on m basses, i.e. tweaking the tone knobs, etc. so I guess a little of both!

I don't know if you can get them all as one pre-made unit, but I changed over my Ibanez SG1200 from active to passive part by part, and it takes about 45 min, including looking up the wiring diagram from seymour duncan. and your current Pickups are already passive, so they are fine. as for wire...
