yorks5stringer Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So people can come up to you after a gig and ask you why? I believe with fanned frets it makes a difference, but there is another source of info in Sussex who may know( and must remain un-named), as he does wild and wacky things with pickups.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I iamgine that so that the low strings sound a bit more bassy and the higher strings have a bit more "Zing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I had one, briefly, in black. Bought it in from Japan when it was cheap so to do. Nice bass... sold along with all the other nice basses I owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 In all fairness, having wonky pickups sometimes costs £7222 (at today's exchange rate). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibody Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) The Washburn XS-5 I owned was the same but J J. Always thought it wierd as my XS-4 (the 4 string variant) has normally positioned P/J's Edited September 28, 2020 by Nibody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I expect it's because the string spacing on the smaller model isn't standard, and so instead of making different pickups just for this model, they've set the regular ones at an angle to match the string spacing. Same as EVH did using a Gibson PAF humbucker to match the Fender string spacing on Frankenstrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if they tilted them upwards to balance out the tone of the DG coil being closer to the bridge but this makes no sense, still a nice looking bass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
