Had to look that up - have to be careful with those - if I measure my foot just with the overall length heel to toe, I'm a 9&1/2. But if I use the side widget to measure the heel to ball of foot, I'm an 11&1/2 - was wearing the wrong size for decades and darn near ruined my feet (plantar fasciitis
).
Yours is really nice as well. These come up fairly regularly but usually not in the best of shape. I wonder why that is?
I own a Magnum 1 as well and love it.
I do want to ask, when you switch between the neck pickup and the middle position, which is supposed to be both pickups, how much of a difference in sound is there? Mine sounds pretty much identical in both positions. I've tried lowering the neck pickup but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Sounds like you have dirty contacts on the pickup switch such that the neck pickup isn't connecting in the center position - happens to mine sometimes, I usually just fidget with it until it works, but a shot of contact cleaner is probably in order.
Update: I put some TI Jazz flats on the Magnum.....pretty sweet. I don’t think the truss rod cover had ever been removed, very slight truss rod adjustment which turned so easy I first thought it was broken (it’s not). Fooled with the bridge a bit, pick up height. This is a beautiful sounding, balanced kick ass bass for sure.
I would have guessed mine was lighter, but I just weighed it - also right at 10.0 pounds.
that's what they're supposed to be! glad you like the ax...and congrats on your new instrument!
they really are unique. but believe it or not, i don't recall seeing one!

Well, you got yer Jah Wobble and yer Kim Gordon, if you go for that post-punk thing (like I do)...
