Yup, that's my plan. Wowzers, that's a bit o' cash. I don't know that I need that full module, I was thinking something more along these lines: Noll 500K/220K Volume/Blend Stacked Control - Best Bass Gear Of course, I don't know if the sizes and values are what I'd need, so I'd have to...

I wish I knew. I did buy it used, and like I said, it has a grounding/shielding problem I need to fix. The tape that's in there is a bit flaky, I can tell it's not stuck down in a number of places. Nope, it exists only as an idea in my head at this point. To clarify the above, I would have...

I am this -> <- close to putting in a stacked pot to have volume and pickup fade from neck to bridge. Yeah, there's a ground issue in this bass. In the next day or two I'm going to rip it all out, re-shield it all, and re-ground everything.

I still own one. Here's a pic of the wiring:

Check out the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas bass.

After having a MIM Deluxe Dimension H and a MIA Deluxe Dimension H, I finally got my "Holy Grail" Dimension: a MIA Deluxe Dimension HH. This beauty is in as close to mint condition as a bass from 2013 can be. Evidently it was previously owned by a collector, and I received it with the OHSC...

I've recently become a Schecter convert. A couple of months back I picked up a Stiletto Extreme 4. I liked it so much that last week I picked up a Stiletto Custom 4. I really enjoy both of them.

Recently added a new Carvin to my stable: It's a 2009 B50, swamp ash body with translucent honeyburst finish, hardrock maple neck, rosewood fretboard, abalone dot inlays. Passive, dual J99A single-coil pickups with Alnico V magnets. Interestingly it has Hipshot Ultralite tuners on it...

According to UPS, my new bass shows up tomorrow between 12:00 and 3:00. But I know better. I'll be refreshing all day today, as I was yesterday, and I will be tomorrow, and I know I'll watch the UPS truck on their website GPS tracking map pass from east of my house to west of my house - on...

Hey, so, I think this has changed hands a few times, and I think I wound up with it from a Reverb purchase a few weeks ago. I'm trying to track down the history on it; can I PM you?

So... I got my first Kiesel. I've had several classic Carvins - an LB20, a B4, a B5, an X44 (which one could technically say is a Kiesel, but it said "Carvin" on the headstock) - but never a Kiesel proper. So, here is my Osiris OB4: I wasn't really looking for a new bass, especially a...

I wasn't planning on getting another Ibanez. But after selling all of mine a few months back, the other day I was sitting here reminiscing about them and spotted this little gem on Reverb. I had to have it. (Note these aren't my pictures, they're from the Reverb listing. I received...

I *never* cut my strings. Ever. I gnaw on them to bring them down to size. My dentist loves me.

Apologies if this has been covered... evidently my search abilities are not as good as I thought they were. Anyway, I’m replacing the neck on one of my basses. Its current neck has the small sized tuners, a la Ibanez or Carvin basses. The new neck has larger tuner holes, a la Fender...

So, just to play the opposite side of the fence, I have two Dimensions (one MiA, one MiM) and have seen no problems like what you're experiencing. If the bridge saddle is all the way down on your G string and it's still too high, but all of the other strings are fine and have space under them...
