Hey all,
I have a diamond series deluxe 4 and was thinking of changing the pickups. Any suggestions as to what would fit in the pickup cavities?
It would help us to see a photo of the Bass you're refering to. Is it a C-4 ?
Thanks

Mine started out like that shape!
Are those tapped PU’s? Mine are. My P PU is getting fixed/rewound by Tom Brantley right now.
I wired mine stereo. With the tapped pu's on switches acting as volumes.Yeah, I think mine are tapped, they have the push/pull volume knobs,
and they make a significant difference in PU output.
It's got aluminum (?) side dots, but a couple are drilled just slightly off the fret centers.
And I think it may have been red originally, but then changed to black at the factory, since it looks like the original finish, but I see hints of red in the PU cavities.
It's a pretty cool bass overall, even in all it's quirkiness, I just haven't been able to find out much about![]()

Kalium? How did you file the nut for the fatter strings?Got a Stiletto Studio 6 couple months ago and really liked it, so much so that I picked up another this week and restrung it F# standard (one on the left).

I do use Kalium, but in this case I had a .170 D’Addario that I used. I filed the nut with a round jeweler’s file (carefully), which makes the 3rd bass I’ve done. The previous one I did was an ESP F-415 that I put a balanced Kalium set on with a .192 tuned to super low E0.Kalium? How did you file the nut for the fatter strings?
I love everything about the T except for the finish. I do supposed it would be easy enough to have it painted.
