    Balanced tension gurus - help me with a new 5 string?

    I have both the 136 snd 142 in Kalium hybrids. 142 provided best balance but I did have to adjust the nut on my bass. No issue with the saddle or bridge on the Hipshot A-Syle bridge because of taper. I did have to raise the saddle a little because of the tapered E and B.

    SOLD Honey Badger P5 split P 5 String Pickup

    Need advice...Kent Armstrong MM pickup replacement

    The 5.5 and 6.5k means the pickup was wound 5500 and 6500 times with the wire. More wraps=more output. There are so many variables that contribute to the sound of your low B. The neck wood, the string tension, scale length, if the string has twisted during installation, pickup height, and...
