On the ibanez it may just be strings. I keep the action pretty damn low but that's where I want it for playability. But if anyone's changed out electronics on the same bass for better, i'd like to know. Individual note impact. That's the only way I can say it. Even if it's one note in a...

God I'm jealous of this bass, never seen anything like it. I don't have much money to spend on equipment tho so I'm pretty much out of the high-end/custom instrument loop. Great work, would like to hear how it plays!

So many responses I didn't read through them all, but I will say this: I owned a peavy fury 6 as my 3rd bass (within 2 years of playing). With the stock strings that came with it, everything was tight; great sound versatility with amp/bass level settings preferenced. Not very snappy as far as...

At this point in time I have two basses, not much of a collection but the most I've owned. A yamaha rbx170, and an ibanez sr 305 dx (3 seperate knobs, 1 conjoined bass and treble). The yamaha I have defretted and installed new machine heads and flatwound strings on, surprisingly finished...
