No Scratchplate i hope... Chrome or Carbon Bell Plate?

If that don't do it, you have saved yourself some money...

Click on the users icon/avatar/blah blah... then click on the Envelope Icon in the middle.

Zoom B1 on - 100 slots, 10 Banks of Tone Style, each with 10 Patches of Tone variance. Manage via ToneLib, Name each one... Cheap as... one for £20 Posted on the bay.

Sounds nice, F hole from the title? Action, check the truss rod first, Then check under the bridge blade, often a shim above or below the transducer piezo element. Easy do, Budget Adagio Flats? Bit of Blah Blah, nut, bridge etc. on my Harley Benton - might help?

Behringer Acoustic DI ADI21 in to PA?..

Aria?.. https://www.creamcitymusic.com/vintage-aria-scroll-headstock-violin-bass-sunburst-mij/

If you don't have deep clamps, maybe some M5 or M6 bolts, penny washers, and wing nuts - to Align and Clamp via the string pin holes. Although not as tasty as Crispy Chilli Beef.

Love the tapered alignment tools... Great excuse for a Chinese

My Cheapy 500 came with a well worn finish!.. Bit of a sand, few coats of truoil applied with wet and dry, then a bit of a wax applied with a scotchbrite pad and buff rub... Bit of damage around the controls. Mk 1 Barts (Reverse P in a soap bar) Passive, Volume and 3 position pickup switch. And this found under the brown finish on the headstock.

Warman Firebucker? Or, These Roswell's would look smart on a beetle bass and keep it in tge HB family https://www.musicstore.com/en_GB/GBP/Roswell-Pickups-LGM101-N-CR-Gold-Foil-Mini-Humbucker-Neck/art-GIT0053231-000

Think Boss do a cover less the foot switch portion. Joyo Ironman with the knob flap are cool and dinky...

Do you have any Torx bits? Maybe one of them might be a snug fit. Will have a look at mine. If the action is near enough etc, As a 'try' place a bit of tin foil, thin thick or folded, and try the 5mm to see how it feels, then try an un-do first, then nip up.

Clamp to the work surface, preferably between two thin bits of wood, this should stop lifting and cracking... Jigsaw, make sure you cut in the right direction... up stroke or down stroke, and have your work piece the right way round.

Don't think Stadium are DBE... you wants the Elites DBE. Mine were £20 offer on the bay, via Bass Center.

Maybe the Behringer BDI21 would be the place to start... Bit of EQ, Bit of Drive and DI... and great value.

I'm the slime - FZ

Give it a try, buy one separate, then you can go std if you don't like it... Earnie Ball do a wound 0.16 / 0.18 if ya use super/reg slinkies, to match...

Nice. Have you tried a wound Third?.. Warmer tone for higher pitch. I always feel a 0.16 or 0.18 a bit thick for a plain. Wounds feel and 'work' so much better.

Loves an SR, got a few, Son has a SR306

Depends on whats to do after. Check out the heat gun approach on youtube.

Nice... And not a pic offered-up?.. Some people... Think it needs a little csk to the mounting holes...

^ Not been the same since Brexit... there, said it...

Gonna be a bit of open heart surgery for pics n spec of pots... It's Phillips O'clock.
