Someone asked Dimarzio that very question, and Dimarzio said they were epxoxied. But many people have changed their covers and it appears its just some kind of glue , maybe hot glue. Certainly not epoxy, which then wouldnt be feasible to get them off. Some say that Dimarzio didnt want anyone messing with their pickups. The way to do it, apparently, is to slip a thin blade ( scalpel ? ) down the inside of the cover and gently work round the circumference separating the glue

Not in my experience. Ask me how i know PP can fcuk off

Blimey H - 40lbs ? Without packaging ? What kind of strap did that need ?

That was utterly brilliant

Indeedy I've just sold a bass, my Aria PRO ll SB 900 , which weighed 10lbs +, and the whole packed weight was 111 kg I mean 11 kg

Nah, its monster double packed. Packing weighs more than the bass

Ha! You've been here long enough to know

Its alright. He saw 168 lbs on his scales and then converted online to KG's. I think he missed the decimal point , 16.8 lbs. It must be an old fashioned weighing machine if it doesnt show KG's Phew etc

It would be ace of spades for heavy metal

Currently in PM's with a bass seller here, and his bass, packaged , weighs 77kg. I said you mean 7.7kg ?? He insisted its 77kg. So the packaging weighs in the region of 73kg, give or take. I'm going to have to decline. My TE combo weighs half that and i can barely lift it

I bet BBC ate it. Am i right your Skankness ?

Fret crowing ? I believe this might be shaping a Raven. In fact, any Corvid will do

Like a few here, i'll do everything except fret crowing, shaping levelling. Nut slots, intonation, truss rod adjustment, bridge saddles setting, ... these are ok for me

😎 Actually i quite like them, but i dont tell anyone. Oh..ooerr.

Having said that, the halfs i used were SIT silencers and they were pretty awesome. I dont know if they're still available. When they first hit the market, they were tricky to get hold of

Having used flats, half rounds and roundwounds, i've found that half rounds are not half way between flats and rounds. They're closer to flats

IRRC, the string spacing on the SB range was something like 16.5 or 17mm, but a wide nut as noted above by the Assassin. Its just preferences at the end of the day. Not everyone has hands like hambones. 19mm suits many people, as does smaller spacing. I have an SB-900 here and although the neck width doesnt change an awful lot from nut to bridge, it is chunky

Love that tone. Beauty
