I like the Korg Pitchblack nice and easy to see very accurate also only sold mine as I do not use a pedal tuner anymore but if I did I would get another Korg

I have never bought anything from GAK I have asked them on several occasions about price matching items and not once have they been able to do it for me which is a shame as I would of bought the items from them so I do not ask them any more and just buy elsewhere

Must admit I am not really in to the looks of the bass, but I do not like any basses from any maker in the coffee table style so really I guess I am not being fair about how it looks as it is obviously down to personal taste I can tell it has been done to a high standard I like the black hardware and I am quite amazed with the electronics part of the bass some thought and skill went in to getting that wired and running looking forward to sound samples enjoy the bass mate

[quote name='christofloffer' timestamp='1448651299' post='2917233'] ok, i got some new strings. fairly budget but the most i could afford to throw in at this particular moment. i got a set of picato stainless flats as i liked the look of them. if nothing else comes from this, i think i will be sticking with flats from now on, absolutely love the feel and sound of them. still having some issues with her though. i have been messing with the set up a little and using two songs as a reference. on the CD player i have been using pink floyd's money and on youtube i have been using jamiroquai's too young to die. those songs just because they are what i have been on lately. it doesnt sound out on the CD player so perhaps it is that video that is sped up/slowed down that caused the problem there. it has thrown a couple of new issues into the mix though (inevitably there all along but at least now the strings are not the issue). i tuned up on the tuner to 440Hz (checked against the guitars to be sure of it) open strings and found something odd. it tunes up fine on the open strings but fretted at the 12th fret E+A read a little higher and D+G read a little lower. i did the various adjustments, action, intonation and neck relief, and i am happy with how it plays but i worry that this indicates a twisted neck. i'm not sure how worthwhile it would be going to a luthier to be honest. the bass is cheap so the build quality wont be that good, would probably be better putting the money towards a better quality one. [/quote] Sounds like the nut is at fault here as Mr Manton Customs said earlier on in the thread if the strings are good and the basic set up is good (or very close) cant be much else other than the nut or a buggered neck, out of interest if it has a bolt on neck are the screws nice and tight?

Hi all bit embarrassed to ask this as I should know the answer but I am having a mental block My problem is I am plumbing in a Rockfield musicman style pickup and I cannot for the life of me think what wires go where I have 4 wires plus ground bare wire these are BLACK NORTH START WHITE NORTH FINISH GREEN SOUTH FINISH RED SOUTH START So if anyone knows which ones do I up? Thanks in advance

I always used to use Direct Courier Solutions (they supposedly specialize in shipping guitars and the like but in reality you get interlink express turn up to collect your parcel and they ram it in the van any old how) but they smashed up a bass I was sending and then refused to pay out insurance and got really sh*tty via email when I complained I think UPS seems to get the best reviews but IMO I think they all try and worm the way out of paying out claims.

Another perfect deal with Lozz this time I bought some strings from him I have done several deals with Lozz and they have all been perfect he is a top chap and BC member a pillar of this community

[url="http://www2.fender.com/support/articles/bass-guitar-setup-guide/"]http://www2.fender.c...ar-setup-guide/[/url] The harder you dig in the higher action you'll require to give the string space to vibrate. [/quote] Yep agreed start with the guide and tweak to how you like, IMO there is no right or wrong way, it is up to the player how they like there bass
