Might be worth taking one off and weighing it to see what the potential gain might be. I replaced some generic Ibanez tuners with US Ultralites and it only saved about 15g a tuner, but those ones pictured look like they might be lighter?

Nice colour! These are alloy bodies with wooden necks, is that right?

Something like this I would think https://magman.co.uk/product/n52-4mm-x-1mm-disc-magnet-291g-pull-force/

Hard to see them disappearing, you'd imagine they'll get acquired by one of the bigger conglomerates. Kontakt seems like such an industry standard that someone will want the IP at least.

Have you tried asking the place you bought from? If you bought from a shop (ie not a private sale) then they should be the ones supplying you with any missing parts/replacing the whole thing, surely?

Very much this, incredible as always.

All the worst people in the world are all in on it which is a bit of a red flag for me.

Their 7/8 string guitars are pretty popular with the progressive/technical metal crowd. Not sure I'd seen the basses before though.

Rare example of an instrument that can give your belt bass rash with all those studs on the back.

ah good I was just thinking the Sterling line was not confusing enough already

I'll have that red-black fade 5er please

In the 15" camp and requiring a crane to go anywhere else 😅
