Massive undertaking for me, that.[/quote] Piece of cake mate, honestly, I'm useless at stuff like that too. Litteraly undo all the guard screws, undo the nuts that hold the two controls in, lift the plate off, put the new one on and screw it all back up again, really simple I promise. 10 minute job, and you'll be so glad you did it.

Rayman Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) The annoying thing is, I need a white pickguard for my Japanese Precision, but I'm not sure a US plate will fit mine. Edited December 19, 2009 by Rayman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 [quote name='solo4652' post='688609' date='Dec 18 2009, 06:20 PM']What is the tone knob for on the bass? Doesn't seem to do much at all.[/quote] Steve the "tone" control is purely a Bass or is it Treble "cut". As it's passive you can't boost anything.

As it's passive you can't boost anything.[/quote] Hello Stuart, I was being a little facetious, of course! The tone knob doesn't really seem to cut or boost or alter much at all (in comparison to, say, the G&L's tone controls). It's not actually a problem - I find I don't change the tone settings much after the first song - I'm far too busy concentrating on playing. By the way, the Precision has strips of metal across the neck. My Stingray doesn't have them at all. What are [i]they[/i] for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The "strips of metal" on the neck are to remind you that you are not a poncy jazz playing twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
