Needs a black pickguard/white pickup cover I would never get a pink bass but that looks awesome!

Haha brilliant!

Thanks anyway. I've only just considered investing in screws. It's a big financial commitment y'know.

Great site, thanks!

Um, the ones for attaching bridges and truss rod covers. In gold. Where do I get them??

Seriously nice looking bass!

Haha I love it!

The best live sound I have ever had -- and one of the very best we've had as a band -- was by our very own Joe Garcia [/quote] +1 My best sound - on stage and out front - was done by a singer/guitarist of local band 'Kingskin' (good stuff, check it out!) working at the Boileroom in Guildford.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='812387' date='Apr 20 2010, 11:38 AM']Had the same problem with another P-copy last week. Turned out that some of the shielding in the cavity had come free; when the tone knob went past about 80% it started to brush against some shielding and robbed most of the signal.[/quote] Sounds like a possibility, especially having been shipped from across the globe! I'll have a fondle tonight, thanks.

For what it's worth I found it difficult in both my 3 piece originals (with acoustic guitar) and 5 piece covers bands to get my old Ray 5 to really cut through and sound defined using my Markbass CMD 121H combo. Since then my new Schecter Custom 5 has in fact garnered much praise from people saying it just sounds so much better in the mix through the same amp; much more rounded and bassy. I have to admit I much prefer my £175 Schecter to the £700 Stingray in terms of both bedroom playing and gigging. It does the bass's job so much more effectively. Just goes to show you can't always rely on the high end gear to deliver on all fronts. I get the impression that EBMM basses are designed to sound nice soloed but when introduced into a working band situation can be a bit too mid and top heavy to be really defined in the bottom end. IME they share a lot of frequencies with both the electric and acoustic guitars, and so their famous 'midrange punch', ultimately, was for nowt!

I bought a fernandes P/J copy from a Japanese shop online and since it's come in I can't put it down. Its knobs are set up vol/tone/tone. The issue I have is that if I roll the P pickup's tone knob above, say, 3/4, there is a steep drop in volume. Before that it's fine and actually puts out a fair amount. I know the dealer had replaced the pots with MIJ ones and the J pickup with a Lindy, and yet the J knob works fine. Any ideas?

As the title says - all feedback greatly appreciated!

Bought a set of Kent Armstrong Jazz pickups from the fella. 'Tis good stuff!!
