I purchased a SD 1/4 pounder and a Gotoh 201 from the good ol U S and A about five or six years ago (basspartsresource.com i think) and fully expected import duty. They were much cheaper than any uk dealer at the time and i never got the tax bill. Don't know if this helps, but im with Doctor J on this one.

I didn't think my 614 could get any better, until, i set it up following Carl Pedigo's instruction. It is now smoother than ever and the neck is so straight and slick. Gas is fully on for a Met Orange 415 (Sean's review and pics) and a Burst 424x / 1024x.

Mainly out of curiosity really.[/quote] I have a 614 and to be honest its the only active bass ive had so i couldn't compare it to anything, but for me it works just fine although some say the eq is pants. I generally boost everything slightly and then let the amp shape the sound and i can get some nice tones. However if i could only have one then i would have the passive.

Neck- on Bridge- on Tone- on Smiley face eq's for a nice bright sound or roll off the tone and sad/ish face the eq's for some thump.

Cheers Guy's, i think il go for the uber sharp chisel method and practice on some old lumps first.

Again not wishing to hijack, but how would this chisel/ dremel method work on basswood? Id doesn't seem as dense as Alder.

I have to say i like the battered look, especially on the Berg's. [attachment=77951:ad740089...cuerpo_1.jpg]

Good Ol FBI, i knew i wasn't making it up.

Love the avatar. Haven't seen her knocking around in the Slade Rooms......

Hey guys/gals I apologise if this has been asked before but with Yamaha fitting nickel nuts to their supper Bb's i was wondering if this really does improve the sound of the open strings? Yamaha claim you can have the fretted sound from them. Thought's? Cheers Steve

Good will to all men, and the occasional woman.

I seem to remember the Bassworld servers being confiscated for some reason! Tell me that's true and not something else my over active imagination has conjured up?
