Crazy. None of the knobs on my NG3 have any visible screw like that.

Weird. I’d normally be hesitant to recommend trying to pull them off without loosening a set screw, but if there’s no hole, maybe they don’t have one?

NGs/Combustions have had push-on knobs for a while now, no?

It seems so. Mine is a 2021 model. Not sure if/when it changed. Just confusing I keep hearing from people that the NG knobs have set screws and I’m like, uh… where exactly?

Mine is a 2018 I think.

I keep going back and forth on whether I want to change the knobs on my NG3.

Problem is I’m currently in recovery mode after getting my bank account heavily abused by the recent inflation in travel costs. It was a summer of lots of flying and rental cars. Then, I have a couple other projects in mind (NG3 6 in F#, and a combustion 6 I want to get and have defretted) in line before I can start lining up anything custom. I still keep an eye on the used market, and if I’m ever able to swing a used super that appeals to me, I might wreck my current plans.

I have my custom order for april 2022 (i want an ab1 six in f# just cause), and i have a green ng2 5er (soon to be ng3). But i really want a white or yellow ng2/3 4 string. Even a white or yellow six to hold me over (ideally to try a six). I took a risk on ordering the 5 having never touched one… but i love it so much i figure a six will be workable.

my gas is bad.

Gaseous bunch, we are.

I, at least, had two sixes already, when I ordered my NG-3 six. An ESP LTD and a really nice Carvin. I was pretty comfortable with the six strings, but that Dingwall six just plays so much better, my hands just love it.

I will say I LOVE the look of the Canadian knobs on the NG. I will post a pic once I get the last one in place (received shipping email this morning, great customer service from Fret Nation).

 

[NaH]

That price! Less than my NG!

I think that was sold a while back and that was what they were going for. Now a similar one seems to fetch $3-3.5K depending on the looks.

When I was trying to fill up my spec sheet of my Z2 order, I borrowed a Z3 from a friend of mine so I can have some reference.
I was thinking to have dot inlays to keep the fingerboard clean and save some coins.
But that night when I was going to bed and turned the light off, I just realized that I must get Luminaly Speedo Bar and headstock logo, I'm totally sold.

I know all about it. It isn't why I bought this one, but I love it.

Apologies to RS....

Is it possible to rewire a triple pickup 4-way to use neck+middle in series instead of the middle+bridge?

 

[japhy4529]

I’m selling my Z3 (too much bass for me to be playing in my basement). It’s in mint condition from what I can determine. Hit me up via PM if interested.

Cheers.

Sure...Move the leads from the bridge to the neck clamps on the switch and vice versa. I did this on my NG for a little bit.

What did you think of the change? Did you go back to standard? The wiring in here is so clean.

I found it a bit too thick and swampy. I ended up moving back to the Bridge/Middle series setting. I also have a bass or two that has neck/bridge series and they're fine too, but the secret is to have the bridge in the equation to balance the deeper stuff.

So you think Neck+bridge series is a winner? Ideally that would be position 4 instead of solo bridge, which I don’t use at all, if that’s possible.

Yeah, Neck/Bridge series and Neck/Bridge parallel are my favorite settings on AB1, Z1 and Combustion models. Though I do like the Neck/Middle series on the NG it has just a little more clarity than the Neck/Bridge series on the others and you can add in a bit of low on the NG to make up for the slightly less bass frequency in the setting.
