The bass should be a tool to bring joyful experiences into your life, it should never be something which causes you to lock yourself away from joyful living.

Did you have 38 shit years or did you have some craic along the way?

If you avoid the fashionable brands, you can pick up genuinely great used instruments for less than 500 quid. If you choose to spend over that, that's great, but £1200 is still a hell of a lot of money and far beyond what you actually need to spend to buy a particular level of quality.

The terrifying thing is there should be the Fernandes neck mated to the Mezeti body, equally or even more a mutation than this. Such a fetish for mating the wrong neck to an even more wrong body would make Mary Shelley cry out in terror.

In I go. About the song: The disintegration of the family unit due to overindulgence in technological quick highs can only be stopped by those who truly value and embrace the human experience... or forget to charge their phones. The tech stuff: Mostly done in Reason but a couple of different syths added and then mixed in ProTools

How close are the pickups to the strings?

Rumours of your demise have been exaggerated?

In Warmoth you cannot specify the heel size. They stick to Fender specs. "2.906" width fits neck pockets with USA Fender® original 4-bolt heel shape & dimensions"

The VM4 is the reversed P and MM pickup model? Is the tonal issue on all pickup selections or one specific pickup? Is the MM wired in serial or parallel or can you switch? If it's hardwired serial (which would give a mid heavy sound as you describe), adding a switch to allow you to change to parallel wiring could get what you're looking for very cheaply. If you like how the bass plays, I'd generally try to achieve what you desire on that before spending big money on something you may not get along so well with.

Not every Youtuber knows what they're taking about 🤔

With a 1.5" nut. Many blasphemies have been committed on this day.

For those who got offended by the first two... P salute you!

I wonder does X mark the spot where the headstock snaps off?

Sterling by Gibson?

Far beyond budget

That be him on the left of both pics.

Not at all, it could never be more appropriate than to get nailed at a Carpenters gig.

Tony Choy (Atheist, Cynic, Pestilence) Doug Keyser (Watchtower) Roger Patterson (Atheist) Bernard Edwards (Chic) Ron Broder (Coroner) Bill Gould (FNM) Troy Gregory (Prong, Flotsam & Jetsam) Doug & Muzz (Living Colour) Cliff Williams (AC/DC)

Odd that they'd use exactly the same photos 4 years later.

"Should" depends on what you want to hear. Use your ears, not your eyes, to gauge what is the best setting for you. It sounds like you prefer the way it used to sound?

Get a rust penetrator spray, not regular WD40

The opening three tracks of Manic Frustration by Trouble, the way each runs into the next, just sublime

My old PRS had unbranded Ultrlites, so they do customise them for some brands but, either way, a mix of logos on the headstock is not what was ordered.

Love the Krell shape, that's a winner. You weren't tempted to go with the multicoils and filter pre?
