Short scale B-strings generally sukk bad. Were you thinking about EADGC ?
Fingerboard.
Material feeds tone, radius affects playing.
Gonna be a while before that price drops. I sorted their 32 page used bass catalog for Most Recent First. That bass is in the middle of page 2 of 32 pages. A rather newish arrival.
Seems like twisted strings to me. Sometimes you can undo that but sometimes you hafta replace them.
Don’t recall when I learned set ups, but it must’ve included using 1 and 12 cuz I always use that. Not defending or recommending it, just pointing out that it seems there’s no strict rule.
As to...
I’m wondering if HH is your confirmed preference by experience, or perhaps you’ve just adopted the historical default configuration of the Sabre bass ... dating back to the pre-EB times.
Reason...
Having seen the real innards and some wiring drawings for various MMs, I have never seen power delivered to the PUs.
Got some REAL relics ... basses with visible evidence that schidt happinz.
One is a wonderful Sterling Hp FL4. The schidt that happent is a horrid refin.
Another is a violated ‘88 SR4 with...
Well said !
Never heard the name. Never heard most names. Pay only slightest attention to non local players. Keeps me happy.
The signatures on a few of my headstocks are not those of celebrity...
If they were FL they’d be painful to part with. I am keeping my Synapse FL but it’s just not the same magic.
In my experience anyone that gets a real Berger in their hands always quits laffing.
Same here but I also tilt the PU much closer to the strings on the treble side
HiddeR, you say the price is too high if it’s not the original FB. No offense intended but that sounds somewhat like a collector value mindset. If the quality is equal to original, though not...
Begging of you my MM bro .... please lighten up ! See, I got TWO classic Bergers for sale and I reeeeeally need that $6K, okay ?
Thanks much !
LOL.
You’ve plainly misunderstood nhb’s excellent explanation. It’s just further evidence that you’ll be better off doing your EQ by ear rather than chasing after technical spec’s. I remind you...
Bought an ‘89 about a year ago from Guitar Center. It was $900, fairly low $$, possibly because it was modified. I happen to verrrry highly value the mod, a really professional conversion to FL with...
D’Adario Chromes seem identical.
I play 1H, 1Hp, HS and out of a dozen MMs one lonely HH. I do agree about the HH getting boomy although for my ear that only happens with all 4 coils on.
Point is that there are 5 switch settings...

You should never shorten bass strings. And BTW only the very thin first section of the leader should ever be trimmed. Also it’s best never to let the main wrap get wound onto the peg.
I...
You now have 132 views and zero replies ... what does that tell you about how players determine their EQ settings ?
The EQ channels are not discrete so knowing their nominal center hz is pointless...
While tort is my usual fave, the idea of the white body with a black neck and head plus a black PG is irresistible. Get a black strap to go along with the idea or even a black and white strap.
Just checked, mine does NOT do that. Even with the amp gain at 11 there’s not a trace. So I can second the motion to call CS.
Got one very lightly used ... mainly only Xmas parties cuz it’s red. Has a white PG so it looks like Santa with his beard. I prolly have the original PG somewhere. Never had the two-tone collector...
Don’t know if the Boingo below is “Saphire” ... but it’s a very neutral black. The PG set in place for the picture is a bluish black and I do believe it is “Black Ice”. I could be wrong. Anywho, just...
Think mebbe it’s the mahogany body ? Pretty much alike to other SR4s other than that.
My SR30th was sidelined a few years ago ... by an EB SUB. Does that mean that, to my ears, the SUB is the...
