LOL. I also dispute the "Perfectly Balanced" bit...

OK, so today I got down to some serious solstice string changing... Put new Rotosound RS66LD RWs on the Precision. Oooh that sounds nice again. Put LaBella 760FS flats on the PJ. Tuning up, first stretch and KaTwap! - ball end of the E ricochets around the room... So I now have a three string PJ. Can't seem to get a single LaBella anywhere... ? Well I'm certainly not stumping up for another set of these - they're not cheap. 😞 So just ordered D'Addario ECB81 XL Chromes on Amazon - say they'll deliver tomorrow, fingers crossed.

If you're recording solo guitar and not guitar to for use in a mix, then try a live room/space with a high ceiling and a nice open ambience. Mix close mic and room mic to taste.

JMJ or s/h MIJ all day long...

Orangey red.

Absolutely flippin' lovely! I have a 1988 and had a 1979 (bought new). Really great basses.

Capo on first fret, press down 17th fret, measure neck relief on E and G sides at 7th fret with feeler guage . Set truss rods for 10 thou on G and 12 thou on E... ?? loosen both truss rods and check relief increases - therefore truss rods are working re-tighten truss rods to get the 10/12 thou relief - if there are still free turns on the truss rods (ideally enough to get some back-bow) then all is AOK.

A helium balloon on the head end?

All working AOK and as expected here - using Edge browser

Sounds like you need to shim the neck to get the saddles at about half height. Truss rod won't do this. I've had some old Stingrays where a factory (?) shim has pressed itself flush in to the body over time. Pop the neck off and have a look, try a playing card shim at the head end of the neck pocket.

I've just taken some Labella 760F-MUS off my Mustang; they sound great on the Precision but a bit flabby and loose on the Mustang. They need to be heavier guage for a 30" scale. I'm currently using D'Addario EXL160M medium scale (through-body Mustang) nickel roundwounds. The heavier guage 50-70-85-105 gives better tension and real punch. Liking them. Cheap too. Yet to try Tomastiks (suspect they will be very loose). D'Addario chromes are on the radar for a try... Go with a heavier guage unless you like floppy, low tension strings.

Strings and pickup height are the factors here. My Precision really growls with Rotosound roundwounds.

I'd just darken it with a Sharpie, oil the fretboard and get on with life... 😉

You can control it from a tablet over WiFi https://www.presonus.com/learn/technical-articles/How-To-Network-Studiolive-Digital-Mixers-for-Remote-Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h7E4CqBmAQ&ab_channel=AllenAsh https://www.presonus.com/products/studiolive-remote

Most likely NTC Thermistors - they start off high resistance then go low resistance with heating up. Ashdown will provide a circuit diagram if you ask nicely...

switch 1 is mute ON/OFF switch 2 is TonePrint ON/OFF switch 3 is TonePrint 1 / TonePrint 2 Use the TC TonePrint phone app and 'beam' it in via your pickup.

Cheapest to do it yourself with a step drill... Otherwise I have used both Andolite and Bryant to do custom panels. Andolite Limited https://www.andolite.co.uk Bryant Unlimited https://www.bryant-unlimited.co.uk

100Hz hum - suspect the PSU smoothing caps are fooked... send it back

That is the perfect Stingray, 2 band EQ is the best.

or best offer...

It's lovely grain but a bit of a boring colour - a red stain to bring out the grain pattern then a satin lacquer ?
