What lightweight tuners could I install on my BB424x without having to drill new holes? The neck dive is getting to me a bit now..

That's the one and that makes sense thank you. I'm so used to only active basses having cavity covers on the back that it caught me off guard considering it's passive.

Can someone please tell me why the BB1024 has a backplate but the BB1024X doesn't?

Sounds nice through one of those new EBS combos. One of those lines started off like 'visions of China' by Japan

Just picked up a second hand bb424x yesterday and I love it, prefer it over my Lakland skylines even (still early days though..) but the strings are a bit old and thinking of a replacement, possibly flats. How would she react to chromes or T jazz flats?

In the market for a new bass amp/combo and wanting to buy one that can take modulation pedals very well. I'm very much into making my bass sound not like a bass through the use of several modulation effects (moogerfoogers, delay, reverb, octaves and soon a Critter and Guitari Orangelle) and...

Finally took the bridge off and what did I see? A half drilled hole going into the main cavity, which is understandable although the jazz one is of course nearer. I completed drilling the half assed hole, ran a wire through it to my ground wire, did her all back up and boom, most of the humming...

Aye, there's no hole or wire from the bridge. The original jazz pup was grounded to a bent up metal strip within the main cavity but that's it. There's hardly any wiring/photos online either of them to compare with. There's an influx of the Squire ones, just not the MIM. Curious to know if mine...

I think I have to do this as having an exposed strip running from the bridge would stick out like a sore thumb with the black body.

Opps, my bad, thanks for the heads up.

I bought this beaut back in summer of last year and she's served me well, that is until recently. I swapped out the old pups for the much acclaimed EMG GZR PJ set and ever since then the jazz pup wont shut up unless I turn it all the way down. I opened her up once more to see what was wrong and...
