    PRS Grainger Bass

    I sent PRS the pics of the neck joint and they gave me an RA number to bring it in for repair. I'm going to take in it in next week.

    PRS Grainger Bass

    Is shielding needed with active pickups and electronics? The selling price for this guitar at MF is ~$2900, where do you see them in the low $2K's?

    PRS Grainger Bass

    I've decided I'm not going to pursue the neck joint, It's hardly noticeable unless you really look closely at the area, a little touchup paint may be all that's needed to make it look better. I think the long bridge screws are to give better string break angle over the saddle but they don't...

    PRS Grainger Bass

    I think I'm going to send them these pictures and see if they can do anything about it. Too bad I didn't notice it when I bought the guitar.

    PRS Grainger Bass

    I went to Experience PRS this week and I bought one while I was there. Got a great price, 45% off list, on a 5 string and I got the back of the head stock signed by Gary Grainger, he plays in Paul Reed Smith's band and was there so I figured what could it hurt to ask. Nice guy, great player...

    Question for the Ibanez lovers, your favorite model, why?

    Only Ibanez bass I've ever owned or played is the SR505. I love it, it's my go to bass. I prefer to play it over my old go to bass which is a Pedulla Thunderbolt 5. The neck and the weight are just so much more comfortable for me on the SR.
