    The assumption that the bass is easy to play and that you're just a failed guitarist.

    Hipshot Ultralights arrived and were fitted tout suite. It turns out that the original tuners were surprisingly light and the difference was just 130g lighter. However, it was for the better action in the tuners that they were purchased and that end of the bass is now a slop free zone. I still had to pack the ferrules a bit, but it was all pretty easy. Interestingly enough, although it's now only just over 4ozs lighter (a whole 7.2lbs altogether), because of where the weight has been saved, the feel on the strap is quite markedly different. All smiles at Castle MacEz.

    Bought a set of Hipshot tuners from Chris. Great comms and fast despatch, all you could want from a BC transaction.

    Not thick, not super thin either, a comfortable handful, if that actually means anything. Fender describe it as a C.

    It wasn’t massively noisy, but there was some hum, despite the split coil. Any pickup will hum if it’s picking up interference, it’s just a matter of how much and how loud. At least that’s been my experience. TBH, I think it was/is a poor show by Fender to not have any shielding in the cavities of a £1k instrument. After all, the JMJ has modern (albeit reliced) Hipshot tuners, so it’s not an authentic ’60s repro, if that’s their excuse for not using conductive paint in the cavities.

    Hipshot recommended HVAC tape but the good news is that US made Ultralights are bigger and fit the holes in the Sterling. Normally this would mean double the cost, which, given the mid price bracket of the Sterling, would be a bit prohibitive, but the BC marketplace has come to a very timely rescue .
