  4. I had a pink Saint prototype. It had faults but it was a prototype and had been used as a demo at an open weekend so I can forgive those, but it went back as it just sounded so meh. The actual bass itself was lovely though, very nice feeling neck and the colour was far better in the flesh. I'm tempted by the shortscale with the single humbucker, I bet that would sound lovely. Link to prototype NBD thread if interested.

  7. You're probably not in the minority and I suspect there's a number of members who will just slip quietly away.

  12. They're all horrible! Sorry, not a lot of help I realise. I find all 'acoustic' bass strings really noisy, lots of fret clatter and string squeal when moving around. You can fit any type of string to an acoustic, I use Fender tapewounds. You may sacrifice some volume but I find the tone is greatly improved over any 'acoustic' strings.

  24. It was a while ago and I can't honestly remember. It's simple if you're reasonably hands on though. You just need a switch (DPDT on/off from memory) and find a schematic online. I used a mini toggle switch so had to drill a small hole in the control plate but you can get a push/pull tone knob to switch it from parallel to series. If you're not that hands on then contact @KiOgonand he should be able to make you up a new loom including a series switch. You don't even need to be able to solder as he uses solderless terminals. You could have new pots including push/pull to do the switching and all you do is clip your pickup wires to it.
  25. Great find for a tenner! Well worth doing up a bit, they're actually very nice basses, especially the necks. I've got an STB J and P, paid £40 each. The P I gigged solidly for the best part of a year I liked it that much. I did put a Quarter Pound pickup in it but the original was fine really. The J has a pair of the Entwistle PBXNs wired with a series switch. Proper J tones with either pickup and a lovely full fat tone when in series, almost P sounding. In fact I used it for rehearsal last week, it holds it's own against some expensive 'real' basses. Both have had black pickguards and bridge covers added. Arty farty (bad grainy) shot 🙈 Forgot to say that the Jazz was sent to me by courier in a single black bin liner taped shut around the neck with the headstock sticking out. Amazingly No damage, crazy!.
