I have one of these. I think the pickups in these are P-style splits inside. I just tested this theory by using an Allen key on top of the pickups. Definitely more pull on one long edge than the other on the treble side, and reversed on the adjacent pair of bass strings. hope this helps.

Sterling SubRay 5 Sound - I need convincing!
songofthewind replied to Blue_floyd20's topic in Bass Guitars
There is also a mod for the Sub series original preamps, which were very hot. It doesn’t look very difficult, and I have a schematic if you’re interested. I haven’t done it but it’s because I’m heart lazy. -
Short scale, 19mm spacing and 24 frets, does such a thing exist?

Active 5 string workhorse - share your opinions!
songofthewind replied to Jonrh98's topic in Bass Guitars
I have a Yamaha BBG5 and it is a fine bass, and great value for money. A nice narrow nut and plenty of bark. -
As suggested above, try this email address: [email protected] The guy who replied to my particular enquiry was Huw Lloyd-Williams. Despite the email address he is in the UK. Roland have a list of certified repairers, which is what Huw might direct you to: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1ufxdlNwWP6MtTncc3gCTcrqIUXA&ll=55.25912902791857%2C-0.2807196689598612&z=6

Dougie is a gentleman and I look forward to his future contributions to Basschat from Scotland’s second city, Edinburgh 😉

Stuart here, Dougie. Watch out for these guys, they will try to sell you stuff..

I've had several fretless basses, and loved them all. I find that the defining factors are neck width and depth, and attack, which are essential to the overall feel of a fretless. Dot positions etc are a distant last to these considerations. I have been drinking whisky, so take these remarks as you wish to. Bliadhna Mhath Ur, everyone.

Crikey, some of that is quite amazing. But I prefer Scary Pockets. -
Hosco here. Excellent files.

My Yamaha BBG5. Growls like a mofo. Plus, gold hardware for that essential extra bling.
