    There's actually some good demos on YouTube showing what it can do, and it's limitations, rather than fancy demos by the manufacturer. I found one using the preloaded strings section and was impressed. I like the way you can slide your finger around the pad to change vibrato, intensity and the tone of the strings, the cutoff just emphasises the top end of the strings giving them a nice swell, and it transitions nicely between chords when you change pad.

    I've got to be honest, it looks/sounds really good in that demo. But my fear is always that once in my hands I'll make it sound like a bad Bontempi demo.
  9. What ever happened to settling scores by simply going round and giving them a nuggie?
  10. I'd only ever had 34" or 30" before, actually I've got 32" acoustic bass but the body is huge so hard to compare. I picked a used Warwick Rockbass Starbass on here within your price range. 32" scale and I really like it. Big enough to feel like a 'proper' bass (I'm six foot) but compact enough to not feel unwieldy if using it sat on someone's sofa. Hollow but with a centreblock so no feedback issues, sounds great, feels great, looks great.
  11. Is it just the line of four screws at the end of the saddle slots? Maybe try loosening them just enough to give the bridge room to move and twist (rotate) the bridge one way then the other rather than lifting it up, hopefully it shouldn't pull on the paint as much this way. 🤞
  12. Scrub my 15mm, I have no idea why but I read your tape measured completely wrong. Yes I'd of said 10mm (ish) looking at your picture properly so that 8mm makes perfect sense. Where are the fixings, can you move it back enough without exposing the old fixing holes?
  13. That would make some sense, although looking at your picture I'd say the bridge would want to be around 15mm further back to put the G saddle in the right place. Not good at all.
  14. In general when placing a bridge you want the G string saddle adjusted nearly on it's minimum adjustment (furthest forward, shortest speaking length of string) and place the break point of that saddle on 34". I say nearly as that allows for any slight miscalculation/mismeasurement/tuning anomalies. All the other saddles will usually need to be adjusted progressively further back. @Woodinblack's an example of why you want that little bit of leeway as his D saddle is slightly further forward than the G. But placing the G saddle where it is on @warwickhunt's leaves practically no chance of ever intonating the G, let alone the E, A & D. It seems odd that a manufacture like Maruszczyk would get it that wrong.
