Oh, my - I'm in love. (With the bass, not the old dude.)

A "back from the dead" bump, and a question:

What does everyone have their pickup height set at (especially for those of you with Fenders)?

I've been noticing on the last few gigs that the G, D & A sound good, but I'm lacking a bit of volume on the E & B. when I raise the pickup height on the B side I start to get that chorus/warble coming through... :(

Any help would be appreciated!

I try and set my pickup height evenly for all the strings, never measure it per se just eye it. My P5 is strung with TI flats and the B and E are just as strong as the rest of the strings, no warble, just good notes.

This is all Srirachaglo's fault, by the way. Srirachaglo - expect a call from my wife if she finds out. :p

Yeah, it looks like the new colors don't have a black PG either, just the usual tort and white. Is WD still the good fitting, well made aftermarket replacement PG of choice for the AmStd P5?

And what do people think - B/W/B or solid black on black and maple? Or even black/cream/black?

Can't go wrong with black, white or tort - but I've gotta admit the black/maple classic combo does look pretty sweet.

The PG is on order. Now for some flats...

I've been using EBMM Group I flats with a .130 B for years now, but I'm tempted to try something different this time. I don't care for TIs (too low tension), but other than that I'm open to ideas. Dark and thumpy with no stickiness is my ideal. I've seen Chromes mentioned most often in the thread, but last I checked EBMM flats = Chromes.

Suggestions?
