Let me preface this by saying I love this bass. Yes, even the looks - it's unique. That is it's charm.
Anyway, I recently got one in Roll Burgundy, with a tort pickguard. I've noticed that there is inconsistency in the vol/tone/level of the G and somewhat with the D, as opposed to the E and A which sound rich and WOW!!!
The neck pickup was low, so I raised it to the height of the bridge pickup. A little better, but more sting clank than I like. The pickups are WAY powerful.
I was told it might be the strings? I should replace those. ?? They are the strings on the bass out of the store.
So my first issue is the inconsistency. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Second would be if the strings are the issue:
1) replace them with ____________ strings... ??
and what guages are the factpry strings - and do I need a full setup if I deviate from that at all??
Whew. OK, I am questioned out.
Thanks in advance. I love - LOVE - this bass - I just want to get this issue(s) resolved.
