Guinness21 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Does anybody own one of these? I think the candy red bass looks stunning! What's the access to the upper frets like? I currently play a stingray, and the pickups look similar - does anyone know what the pickups are? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I tried one in a shop once and I was unimpressed. Access to upper frets is poor - no contouring to speak of in the cutaway - you slide up and basically hit a wall. Pickups are pretty generic and I thought quite weedy sounding for the size/style of them. Not that it bothers me, but if you're a blender then there's no capacity for blending the pickups, 3 way switch and master vol/tone only. To sum it up, all they've done is ruin a perfectly good left handed bass as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness21 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Aah, maybe this bass isn't as good as I hoped it would be. I'm not sure that limited upper fret access would be too much of an issue for me - big hands and long fingers. The lack of blend doesn't bother me either. But I was hoping the feedback would say the pickups were great; the fact that they aren't has put me off this bass a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
