I had mine made as I wouldn't want to do such things myself. Refinishing is too much of the same thing over and over, apply clear coat, sand, repeat, and I'm not good in those.
-
I did, in fact several sets of Dunlop tapered sets were used on my Euro 5 LX and never had this issue. I had with other basses though, albeit with normal strings and the culprit was always the distance between the pickups (magnets) and the string, them being too close...
-
Fingers crossed for both the safe delivery and the preferred neck shape 🙂 Given your past with the necks haven't you thought about buying a run-of-the-mill used euro, shave the neck to your liking and refinish? (that's what I've done with the pink one)

@Eldon Tyrell any news of the bass in transit?
-
Have a thing for piano black finishes lately. The Nordstrand in my other Prestige MS5 sounds really great and the preamp is useful, too. This new SR line has an upgraded preamp with the hexa mid system for what it worth. There is a 5506, pretty much the same specs with different woods and finish. One thing I'm noticing tha the bodies are wider than they used to be and i'm not liking it.

I don't think this was covered here, but according to Ibanez "2025 brings with it the long-awaited revamp of the SR prestige line. With nine new models in total, there’s an ideal instrument for every bassist out there seeking the comfort, tone, and playability of a Japanese-made SR." More infor on the Ibby site Quite fancy this SR3506 from the new model lineup...

Clever! 🙂

Very nice bass and the X series TW's are killer. I used to have the same 1306 but sold a good ten years ago. What are the round wood inserts in between the pickups?
-
I remember this being discussed, maybe it was you? Something along the lines of the neck not tapering as expected, even considering the very tight spacing at the bridge.
-
@SumOne we all have preferences and I happen to like the tighter spacing because I feel like I fall in between the strings on basses with wider spacing.
-
One of the main reasons I love them (and their 6ers, too)
-
- it is a custom mix, it took some tries to come up with what I liked the best. I guess it is a magenta/pink kind of color. - a local luthier - I have a somewhat limited direct comparisons between X and the original series and that does not include the 40P5 / J as the pickups were DCs in the bass before. But I did swap 40DC to 40DCX (the sound became more dynamic and reactive to playing with more mids to my ears) and the 40TW to TWX (the annoying volume drop when using the coil tap for the original TW is nonexistent with the TWX which is a huge bonus) Hope it makes sense.

I agree 100% It is also high time to show off another beauty, my refinished pre-LX Euro 5 with P5 and J, just like the ones you have now @Sean only that mine are X series. The preamp is a John East deluxe.

Come on, I never doubted THAT 🙂 Maybe a different shade of great 😉
