Wow, quite a bit of reaction to the luminescent side- dot thing.. personally, I was just chasing if they were really luminescent, or not, having only found out about them after buying the bass. But, it would be cool if they did work, never hurts to have reference points, no one is perfect, especially on loud stages when performing- horses for courses. I did the cheesy thing and actually stuck some sticker dots on the fingerboard treble side, above the 12th while getting used to the scale shift. Much more helpful than the side dots, definitely better than the fingerboard dots that hide under the B.
Anyone else try a set of humbuckers in theirs? Decided to toss in some P4's to hear it and wow, what a completely different animal. I do believe I prefer it. Wider, more even response. Better B.
I thought I was with you. I have never consciously looked at my dots. Until I got the headless, and couldn't see the 12th fret dots. Weird, I thought, I've never looked there before, or do I? I have a bass with LEDs, and I always thought I turned them on cause they were really cool.
I have a varimid question. So there's no center detent like the bass middle treble knobs. But does everyone have resistance about mid way?
I'm asking about physical resistance. Not a detent but it gets a bit harder to twist around the middle.It depends on the playing situation. Right now mine is more towards the neck with just a slight boost in the mids and bass.

There is always resistance to my playing, but I do it anyway.I have a varimid question. So there's no center detent like the bass middle treble knobs. But does everyone have resistance about mid way?
Rookie mistake, replying to this.I have a varimid question. So there's no center detent like the bass middle treble knobs. But does everyone have resistance about mid way?
I'm gonna guess on purpose. And yes 30-60% is about where mine is. Since it's not a selection more of a blend maybe they added that to give you some reference? I'm gonna open it up and see if there's something external causing it or if it's something inside of the pot.Both mine had a bit of extra resistance around I would say 30% to 60%.
I don't know if this was on purpose, or a side effect of how low-high the pot was mounted.
