My photo from 2008 - different tuners too

wow so similar - what serial number is yours? they can't be far between them

That’s what I was going for with the Aotearoa Intermodulator- homage to the unavailable original, and all black, because, well the link is my kiwi uncle introducing rugby to me… and also it looked cool.

This is getting silly. @Dood - you need to cover break up of amp models in a mini review!

Truthfully Jim.....

I was lent a stagg bass in bits that had been part of someone's CDT project, so I had to assemble and set up a bass before I could play it... played it loads before I had to give it back and had been saving... we found it hidden in the back of a shop in colchester where it had been sat for years, neck like a banana. I was a kid and my dad was working in colchester so had got a lift up with him, he came and bought it... turned up in his work suit and mentioned he was an auditor and the guitar shop owner was a bit unsettled and gave us a good good price. Played it for years till I bought my first Fender Presision (Japan) and then it kinda got retired. At that stage I probably didn't appreciate what it was... I think it was about then I discovered Basschat and realised there was a bunch of folk who would buy things from me and I could use the money for other things, this got sold and I picked up my first Warwick from @warwickhunt...

seeing it again is doing funny things to me

ahh my first ever bass. 🥰

didn't the originals have a tilt EQ and a switch to set the tilt point?

fixed

Depends how much gain the capturing thing has surely? Like it can capture from its full gain down - which might be an amp sweet spot you want to capture, but if you cranked the power amp and then captured it it would be from that gain level down so grainier?

Isn’t that the nature of captures vs models? captures the SVT again with the gain up a load to have a more gainy version?

is this a pedalboard? Asking for a friend...

It’s Dood- he the kind of guy who doesn’t queue to get in a club…

U ok hun?

inside or outside?!

This is good advice - try a battery

they had to wait till you were born, and news got to California before they started making it in your honour. Once the lacquer had cured they made sure they used the brand new shipment of pots for it...

just to add - a rail/bar pickup isn't inherently not going to work with 5 strings, it's just not long enough in your case 0- if you can live with closer string spacing, new saddles on the bridge could bring them in enough that it works fine (though feels different)

Try taking the switcher out (and stick pedals in series) also the Nobel has a power supply in it, make sure it’s not too close to the gig rig power supply and rotate one to see if that makes a difference

Typically warrantee is to the original purchaser for a year or two for a clear manufacturing defect. If you're saying the pickups are too narrow it's a bit harder as the builder could claim it's a deliberate design decision... It gets murkier if it's a custom instrument - say I got someone to build me a bass, I might insist on having some kind of unsuitable pickups put in it, the builder might explain why not too but I go for it... then I sell the bass to someone else, why should the builder have any liability to a third person's opinion on my design choice? So if it's a production bass that's just had the wrong pickups stuck in it.... you might have a course to ask nicely for that to be corrected. If it's a custom instrument that as you say the person it was custom built for had no problem with, and your playing style means it is a problem - I don't think the original builder has any legal or moral reason to support you. If this is the pink bass I'm guessing it is and you had bought it after seeing clear photos on a site like Basschat then I think caveat emptor might apply as sadly for you the issue you describe is clearly visible.
