I can underline every word. It is a real revelation when all notes come out at the same level regardless where on the neck you play. Beforehand I thought my bass had weaker and stronger sounding regions of the neck. Now the notes are nicely balanced and I know my bass was not to blame. I am...

Same thing on my CS P-Bass. Not Need to worry. Just Play and enjoy your Bass :)

Hi Jim, Bergantino fan from Germany here. I just want to let you and the Bergantino community know how happy I am with the new ultra firmware for my HP2 and NXT 112. I installed the firmware yesterday and I am really impressed how consistent and tight the tone has become. The lows and low mids...

Thanks a lot!

Having played the Forte HP2 for a couple of days now I am a really happy guy. This amp sounds so well rounded and reacts so musically to my playing that I feel I have found my dream amp. My CS P-Bass sounds better than ever and I hear nuances to its sounds I wasn't aware of before. So thumps up...

I have been playing over a NXT112 for the last three years, mostly low volume sessions. I am highly satisfied with the clear and articulate sound. It always amazes me how accurate low frequencies are reproduced. I am convinced that this cab can easily handle high volumes so you would not...

I have just picked up a Forte HP2. I could test it only very briefly but I am very satisfied for what I heard so far. Sounds much rounder and more pleasing in the highs compared to my forte D. Can anyone tell me what two drives are loaded by default? I like them very much and would like to know...

Thanks a lot for your support.

I just got one preowned. Unluckily it didn‘t come with a manual. Not that I don‘t feel able to use it without one but I would be interested to learn what they write about it in the manual. Would anyone be so kind to send me a copy of the manual? Thank you very much.

I have a CS P-Bass. It is a wonderful instrument but the tuners were dreadful i.e. sticky and hard to fine-tune . I replaced them with Gotoh GB640N tuners. What a difference. They run smooth like a dream and allow much better for fine-tuning.

Thanks a lot. My German dealer was able to speak to a knowledgeable person at Fender. They are not willing to sell the pickups used exclusively in the CS instruments. So I will see if I can have the pickup repaired. Some German pickup makers offer this service. In the meantime I have put a Lindy...

Thank you all for your replies. I have also thought about contacting Fender Custom Shop support. Unfortunately, there is no e-mail address for this on the website. You are redirected to the general Fender Home page, which then refers to the local support (Germany in my case). A large Fender...

I need help finding a replacement for the pickup in my CS 59 P Bass. Unfortunately the pickup has gone dead. A local luthier confirmed that one of the two coils is dead. The wire is broken presumably. Now I am looking for a spare part. The shop floor traveler says it is a '59-62 Rel with shield'...

I have the same question as the pickup in my CS 59 Precision has gone dead. The shop floor traveler says it is equipped with the '59-62 Rel with shield' pickup just like the bass of the original poster. I am wondering if it is the same as the Custom Shop 62 P-bass pickup which is offered by...

I think it's time to properly introduce my 59 P-Bass NOS. I bought it back in February and after playing it now for six months I want to share my impressions. I start with some pics so you can see what I am talking about. This is my first custom shop bass. I have always wanted to try one...
