You'll likely have that ground wire route to deal with then. Find a black bushing to fill it, shouldn't be noticeable. My wood putty fill and fingernail polish touch-up is hard to find unless you're looking for it.

Legend. Appreciate the input

Random question - do Payson bridges suit Combustions as well?

eg: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Oh yeah. Unfortunately, I think he discontinued the four-string version...

I'd like the black w/chrome saddles on my Combustion. I looked at the choices and four string bridges are still there.

Cool - I've obviously been out of the loop since I bought mine...

Just took delivery of this fine example of a funk machine........

How much street do the 5 string payson bridges go for? I can't find any.

 

[Waltsdog]

$190 and they are linked up the page, although I thought they were out of them - [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Are they a direct replacement for the stock bridge?

 

[singlemalt]

Classy natural with pearl blocks and pickguard.

Very nice!

I thought they were too, but the previous time I checked, they weren't listed as available to add to cart. They are again now, so cross fingers...!

While on the subject of changing/modding - I know it's been asked somewhere but search is failing me. Do the Canadian-style knobs have the same pot shaft width as the Combustions? I'd love to swap out the Combustion knobs for the Canadian-style ones.

I’ve done this, if you order direct they send you the correct parts for the combustion.
To answer the question no they are not the same.

They have the measurements on there so you can compare (or if you're like me the bass is downstairs and you don't want to go take the knobs off and check - surely someone will know, but not NaH, he is just as lazy ). I think I've heard of people doing that...

Well. I just unexpectedly picked up a Super P4. What strings do people find work well on those? (Picture coming)

thanks

If you're a flats guy - Payson true flats are the dream.

EDIT: I think they are only long scale, TI Flats next choice.

GHS Precision Flats
D'Addario Chromes
Dunlop Flats
Ernie Ball
DR
Fender
Thomastik
La Bella

You can put basically anything on that.

 

[packrat]

Yeah. I have cobalt flats on my P5. I’ll go have a rummage in the strings cupboard to see what I’ve got in stock. The P4 is very svelte.

 

[packrat]

Are folks not finding the short G string ends up with having flat not silk at the post?

The G string is more than flexible enough to go around the tuner on basses. Just make sure to cut the string to length within the silken section.

I've had my Super P for long enough to have used it on shows with three different bands. So far, I have used SS SuperBrights, GHS Boomers, and Pure Blues. I've liked the Boomers the best (and I swore off using Boomers years ago) and the Pure Blues the least. I have a set of Nickel Lo-Riders that I will try next. Unless I really like them, I'll try Nickel SuperBrights next and if I don't like those, I'll give up and settle on the Boomers.
