Frustration!!!

[Ross_Gannon]

Hello everyone....I own a Earnie Ball Sting Ray....Its a custom pieace...I had it specially made....I love it...however...I play rock...and heavy metal.....The bass pops alot....due to the pick-up.....someone made me an offer the other day to buy my bass...and I was wondering.....is the Warwick Standard Corvette (active) a good bass that I wouldnt regret givin up my Music Man for??? Please help me with my decision....thanks....

The popping may be due to the pick-up being to close to your strings. Try lowering you pick-up(s) a bit and boosting your volume. I wouldn't throw out the Stingray with the bathwater just yet - it sounds like an easily fixed problem.

What is it that you had customized?

I lowered my pickups last night actually...I just havent had a chance to plug up and play...I custom ordered the Music Man...Its very sexy....the color its Roll Royce Burgandy..with Matching Headstock.....with a white perloid pick guard....maple neck which is unfinished.....very very pretty bass.....that paint was the costly part....
