hmm...sounds wierd...I would check the electronics...maybe there is a phase issue....maybe you need to rise the "E side" of the pickup slightly?

I would have a good tech look at it....even better, have Carl @ chicago bass doctor look at it...he has a way to fix the wierd stuff...

if you want his contact info, let me know.

Thanks for the advice, actually I believe it could be like a phase issue, pickup is already high on that side is higher than the G string... Is 7/16. Taking it higher, due to my playing style, provokes hitting the pickup with the string regularly and no really solving the problem...

I think Carl would be my best option, thanks for the advice. If you have any thoughts please let me know.

Thanks!

I really liked the setup how-to videos on YouTube.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Actually I changed for new strings, even new strings with different gauge. Regarding tunning, I have been very obsessed getting the proper intonation, so that when I play A note in the E string/5th fret, sounds as a precise A. I have taken it to one of the 3 best luthiers in Mexico and stetted up very well, except for the e-string. His advice was to change the string, which I did.

Regarding to hearing damage, I think I am a little bit damaged, but not too much to not listen the low frequencies. I know this because I have tested it with another bass and e string sounds normal to me...

This bass was stetted up by Carl Pedigo, and I hope he can help me in a remote way, cause sending my bass to Chicago will cost around another Skyline Bass... hehehe

I will check electronics to see everything ok. Let me know if you have any thoughts about this. Would really appreciate it.

Thanks again!

Hey guys - I was thinking of getting a Lakland 55-01 and toying around with some of the Nordy Big pickups (Singles/Splits/etc... )

Are they a perfect fit? And do the pickup positions match up to any specific era - like a Jazz 60's style ??

About the fit... The Nordstrands are a tiny bit smaller. Unnoticeable after installation.
Not sure about the position, would have to measure.

You may get your answers here, but you should check out (if you haven't already) the Lakland 01 club, which has a strong emphasis on modding.

Congrats on the new edition, or is that addition? Nat

My first son looks just like me do I guess that's an edition ;) judging from the ultrasound pics number two looks like mama so he will be an addition. I guess that makes sense... It's early (for a sunday) and I had too much coffee already so my brain is misfiring.
