AhadI2500, Unicorn Bass, thank you for the great information and photos, it's much appreciated. I love the specs on this bass, it checks nearly all the boxes. I to, am not a fan of the cavity jack, for the exact reasons you mentioned, not a deal breaker. Happy to know that it holds it's tuning...

Hello, hope everyone is doing well. I'd like to know what the opinions are regarding the Ibanez GVB 36. Does this bass stay in tune, hold it's intonation ? I've read a few reviews on Sweetwater's product page, about it being heavy, a qc issue with the instrument jack , but mostly favorable...

Thanks for the info. I thought there would be some youtube videos from people who had bought the bass, but i cant find any. thanks again.

Hello, thanks for your help. I've been trying to find some user reviews of the Schecter Charles Berthound CB-6, but I can't find any. There's none on the Schecter site, or anywhere else that I've looked. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again to everyone for their helpful replies. I feel a lot better knowing that this can be dealt with on a few levels. Thanks again, I'll let you know what happens. Everyone have a safe and happy new year.

Thanks to everyone for all the help. I lent my bass to a friend, to try out, before deciding to buy, long story short, he wanted to try out his strings on the bass, somehow he stripped the saddle lock on the side of the bridge, by using the wrong hex key, that's his story. He said he'd cover...

Hello, and thanks for any advice. I've checked the G&L store, for the past 5 to 6 months, Reverb, E Bay, around the internet, and I just cant seem to find a G&L standard 5 string saddlelock bridge for my build to order JB5. G&L knows that I'm interested in obtaining one. Other than 1 from...

Thanks Lammchop93, for the info, it's greatly appreciated.

Hello, and thanks for all your help. I really like the sound of the G&L made to order fretless JB5,and the Kiloton fretless 5. I also like Ibanez necks and the string spacing on their basses, so I was also considering a GWB 205 with 16.5 mm spacing. I'm leaning more towards the G&L's, but the...

Hello, and thanks for all your help. Sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I've got a few questions about the Sire P8,5 string fretless. What is the thickness of the neck at the 1st and 12th fret? Also, how well does the coated fingerboard hold up to half wound strings? I know there will be...

Yes, the 12th fret harmonic and the fretted 12th are matching. Played normally for 2 hours or so last night, ( an infrequent luxury, I'm sure many can relate to), checked the tuning/intonation up and down the neck, everything is pretty spot on. Like I said, I'm just happy to be able to play...

Update: I checked/ performed some minor tuning/intonation adjustments with the Strobo Stomp HD and nearly everything seemed to be running slightly flat or fairly flat yet again. My ears are not great, but their not horrible either. I also own the strobo clip HD. So I decided to do adjustments...

The intonation on my Ibanez premium SR 5 string bass with the MR5S bridge is a real pain in the A. I took it to a reputable tech, had a new setup, new set of Roto 66's put on, got it home, let it acclimate for a few hours, checked the tuning, intonation, with a Peterson Strobo Stomp HD, played...

Thanks skeeler, really appreciate the clarification and suggestion. Take care.

Hello, and thanks for your help. Sorry if this question doesn't belong here. I just purchased an Ibanez Premium SR1345 5 string bass. With regards to the MR5S bridge, there doesn't seem to be any documentation about how to intonate the strings. I've got the relief set, the string height, etc...
