The pickup and pickup placement.
I play fingerstyle and I move my plucking hand closer to the neck progressively as I go from E to A strings and higher. Over time I just started doing it without thinking. It really does make a...
I’ve never seen this on any bass, and certainly not any of the EBMM basses I own or have played.
I honestly can’t make up my mind. For my SR5 I like the .130 from the green pack, but I’ve tried .125, .130, and .135 from many different manufacturers on my Bongo 5HH and I honestly don’t love any...
Yes, it’s my experience that the Bongo 5HH is the most versatile bass I’ve played. Check out Dave Larue, who flips between rock, funk, country and fusion while playing with Steve Morse.
I also...
Sounds great! Mike, Dave and John make an amazing trio.
Loved the write-up! Thanks so much for the time you take in doing this. I'm thrilled that we get to enjoy your journey of G.A.S. !
Having said all that, this is the greatest Majesty I've ever...
Not sure what pot values are needed, but Noll does make a couple of stacked vol/blend pots. Bestbassgear has a selection of them. I also believe I've seen one or two available from Warwick,...
I think it's going to be quite a bit more complicated than you hope. I believe, not having an HH SR to judge by, that the pickups are connected directly to the PCB preamp with the vol/eq stuff being...
Though I didn’t comment on it, I too expected this particular Majesty to be the finale. It’s certainly finale worthy! Looks awesome! The neck is what really separates this for me. Can’t wait to...
This is my favorite of the year so far. Wowza! The whole package is perfect, but the combo of the fretboard and the finish color are amazing together.
Edit:Is that Quarter Sawn ebony with grain...
There is a purpose for each one. Not trying to make this about my OCD Morse journey...just wanted to show a Morse with white buckers for gforce.
Not that it matters but I love the look of Steve’s EBMM prototype that showed up in the Kansas music vid. Black guard and singles with two white humbuckers.

Here’s my version...mocked up a...
I caught a few truefire bass lessons for $5 each and starting working through those. I like the challenge of trying to take bits and pieces of styles I don’t play and incorporate those into my...
I come back just about every single day and look at all of the NYNGD beauties. I don’t always comment but I always admire!!! This one in particular is amazing!
I had the same thought when I first saw the Stingray Special, but now the old style bridges on Bongo & Sterling look odd to me.
That’s a stunner. Don’t know how you can follow this with other stunners but I’ll be you will.
You have a great eye for photography! Not a bad eye for guitars either:D
I love that you know what you like and you go for it. In that same spirit, I’d say do the pickup change. I think it would...
Angled, looped through the strap to keep it out of the way and from being yanked out when someone or myself steps on the cable.
Unfortunately I believe it’s a fake for several reasons. Tuners aren’t branded, “Made in...” in weird place, the front logo looks strange to me as well. Headstock is too elongated on the nut side. ...
Bongo5HH with Dave Larue's custom gauges (40-60-75-95-125) but it's too darn much trouble and $ to put this set together since it doesn't exist in a prepacked set. There's a close 4 set, Extra...
I like the option of buying from Pete or another great dealer, and also buying more limited/special stock straight from EBMM. I think it's the best of both worlds. It's doesn't cut the dealers out...
This is a pretty cool surprise. And nice that these are direct from EBMM...nice for us and nice for them!
Awesome score!
My Morse is also a Neptune with roasted maple neck/fretboard. It's the best feeling guitar neck I've ever played!
