I have highlighted the stock position of Capacitor 102 on this wiring schematic in green. I'm not sure how familiar you are with this type of 5-way switch. There are 4 "quadrants" to the switch. In...

The way EB wired this is so unusual to me since they have a series combination happening inside the board!. Like I said in my OP, I did deduce that whatever goes into the white input on the board...

I don't know if it's possible. EB will probably give you the wiring schematics, but they wouldn't tell me what's going on inside the board. I think I had the H and HS wiring diagram and it still took...

I think you've asked the question backwards. It's 1&3+2, where + is series and & is parallel.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the answer is (1&3) + 2. I've done some work on my Sterling HS and the leads...

Awesome! 660 is a steal! Is that Sapphire Black?

If you want something more aggressive get a Sterling. If you want a more Hi-Fi sound get a Bongo. I have one of each and love them both. For me going back and forth between the painted and oiled...

Well yes of course I still look :) but this method helps me to not buy. It is not a sin to be tempted.

I use the bulk nickel round wound strings from juststrings.com

I made a custom set of 40, 55, 75, 100, 130 for balanced tension. I've been using this for about a year, and the balanced tension...

Acquire 2 awesome basses (in my case, it's a Bongo HH and Sterling HS).
Play only one bass and keep the other put away.
When GAS symptoms flare up, play the second bass and put the first one...

Wow, even the C-shaped inlays. That seems like a lot of work for a cheap copy.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Cool, I know the feeling. Did you get a maple or rosewood fretboard? Matching headstock?

Since no one has replied yet, I will. I don't have a Ray, but I play worship team with a Bongo HH and a Sterling HS. I'm not sure what pickup config you're talking about, but when I'm just using the...

OT (sorry): My "Unicorn" is a hardtail Reflex with an Axis neck - or even a hardtail Axis SS with the forearm contour that the Reflex has.

With the active 3 band EQ on the Sterling you can have enough low end to destroy the galaxy. :D I usually pick woods based on looks rather than tone (for electric instruments).

I've had a couple...

I know I'm a week late to the discussion. But if you haven't resolved this yet, I would take one of the screws into a local hardware store and see if they have something to match. The screws are...

I've looked at those before, but I've never tried it. I like the idea of the series/parallel options. Ergonomically worse, yes, if you're switching neck-bridge several times in a solo like JP. But it...

Hi AJ, can you please give me the DOB for my:

Axis G44672
Reflex G51604

Thanks!

Hi AJ, can you please give me the DOB for my:

Sterling F43443
Bongo F22301

Thanks!

+1 I used to have an Ibby 6 and a Bongo 6. The Ibby would hurt my hand after a while, but I could play the Bongo for hours.

I don't have experience, just guessing:

To counter the string tension, the trussrod is pushing up (toward the frets) in the middle of the neck, and pushing back at the neck heel and at the end of...

At first I thought someone modified a 4 string and thought you guys were being harsh. Then I realized it already was a 5 string! So why was this mod done?

For what it's worth, I don't use radius gauges anymore. I just set each string height individually b/c that's easier for me than trying to "feel" if all the strings are touching the radius gauge at...

The nut slots might need to be filed if you're only having problems with specific strings. Actually a properly cut and filed nut is more important than the material it's made of IMO. Also, just...
