I think I might just get the better deal there

High output causing the amp to overdrive perhaps? Does it sound the same when you roll off the pots on the bass a bit?
Seriously @Christine ... fold a washcloth, wrap it around your crutch handle, then wrap the washcloth and handle with an ACE bandage. Your hands will thank you
WOW!! That's actually very gratifying that they are the same price as they are over here.
Edit: it’s also good to know they sounded good enough to be worth paying the extra over the other two. I don’t suppose there is any chance when you get them hooked up you could plug the bass straight into a windows PC and use sound recorder to get a clean sound file of them so I can compare with the Mojos I’ve bought
I could do that I think if someone could show me or instruct me on how to do it but there are a few videos in youtube on the Mike Lull T-birds with the same pickups, also Tbird1958 (I was close the first time
) right here in this thread has some live clips up played with a pick showed me a good dirty sound. The video on youtube really showed me the range of them though.

Maybe you've been abducted?..
I plan to, we’re off to Liverpool tomorrow and I’ll need some protection, that came up so quick, I didn’t feel it I just looked at my hand and there it was. I’ve hardly used these crutches either, just getting softSeriously @Christine ... fold a washcloth, wrap it around your crutch handle, then wrap the washcloth and handle with an ACE bandage.

My thought as well, that bass was modded with ThunderBuckers if i'm not mistaken.
Mantis had a luthier do it, can't imagine it's the bass.
Just plug the bass into the mike input on a pc and open sound recorder, have to search for that, used to be in accessories in Windows 7
I think with the raw sound I can plug into my amp and get a direct comparison with the Mojos
I will try that. The volume on the neck pickup won’t go down all the way. Not sure what that means. I bought the bass used so maybe it was tampered with.
My 2013 used to do the same thing prior to a pickup swap. The neck pickup screw (on the E string side due to resting my thumb on it) would loosen bringing the pickup too close to the strings. It sounded inconsistent in volume and gritty.
Does anyone know what kind of bass this is?
Mine is a 2013 and has done it since I got a pickup swap.
Definitely sounds like the same thing. I dropped it off with a really good tech just now so hopefully he sorts it out.

Mantis, i remember when you posted pics after the modding, was the bass behaving that way, right after you had the work done to it?
EDIT; I see you said it's been doing it since........................
