I got a new toy ! And the previous owner added some extras for me ! 18 volts now and the sweepable mid
Emg TW pickups might switch to the TWX down the road if it helps with the output drop
But will also compare it to my GV which now sports a EMG BTC system

Is the output low?
I have the EXACT 4 string versions both black and chrome of the Hipshot bridge. Super Low profile ! Can't wait to put it on a bass. Your TL 5 looks perfect, brother ! I love the mods.Cross post with the Cirrus thread

Not even close to low
But the drop is what makes it “low output”
it’s just that the drop is so large I’d have to re adjust my gain
If I wanted to switch in a song per day
As inWhat do you mean by drop? I am not understanding what you are saying.
Does the preamp have trim pots for the pickups?As in
When you switch from Dual coil to jazz pickups/ single coil
There is a volume drop
it’s normal apparently with the TW and fixed with the TWX
Cleared out some gear today to thin the herd ! Soon to be listed on Clearwater, FL GC used site is my nice 4-string swamp ash Purple Trans Axcelerator Plus w/gold hardware , The fretboard has a recent complete fret level/ crown/polish and two new 9v batteries with little to no play time since , , No affilation with GC - Just thought I pass it on, that's all folks
I'd love to see a picture of it...
GC Clearwater hasn't listed it yet if it didn't already sell in store or the staff didn't buy it already ? I sold them my Blue one also ...GAS is good but it was just purge time for me until the next buy !Thanks man!
Thats a nice looking bass for sure...a model I don't have in a cool color...GAS build up commencing...

I would call the Clearwater store and find out whats happening, you can grab it (or them) quick before they put them up and everyone gets a shot.Thanks man!
