Well (not LOG related) as promised, here are the pics of my new 44-64 dot neck LE in Teal Green (whew!):

Hey friends. I have a 55-01 fretless that I've owned for 3 years or so now. It was made in 2003, so it's one of the first-generation Skylines. I love the bass and the tone is phenomenal, but one nagging issue I've had from day one is that the output of the bass is a good bit lower than the output from my other 55-01 and my 44-01's. The battery is brand new in the bass, and there's no other noticeable issue that I can see or hear. Does anyone else have any possible explanation as to what could cause the overall lower volume output? Could the age of the pickups and pre be causing any issue? Like I said, I've had the bass for a while and the issue isn't a big deal, but I've thought about having it looked into and fixed if it seems like something easy to correct.

Pickup height?

Been searching, getting tired of it, so I will post this question to the owners group here:
I have a 2007 dj skyline on the way and am trying to find out if the body is routed under the pick guard, or if it is solid?
I always liked jazz basses without pick guards. I also plan on having a white pearloid guard made and will need to send in the current one to copy, so it'd be nice if it wasn't needed in the interim.
thanks!

The body's solid underneath. I'm not sure if it's just mine, but front pickup rout is about 4mm too wide, so there is a bit of a gap. The paintwork's so superb though, that you actually have to stand quite close to notice!
Any road, the DJ looks great with the pickguard off - I've unscrewed mine several times (because I'm indecisive), which may have been a mistake - every so often now, one of the screws works a little bit loose and makes the most annoying buzzing noise whenever I play certain notes!:spit: No biggie though - just need to retighten the screw.:)

Hope this helps!

Cheers, SoundSupport

PS: dunno if this affects you, but the control cavity (under the chrome) IS front-routed.
