    Learn not to apply that much pressure, can't possibly be healthy for your tendons, and there is absolutely no practical reason to do so (if anything it inhibits you of playing properly, or at least optimally).

    That's what I asked her yesterday: "Does size really matter?" Then she mockingly laughed and walked away, slamming the door to my apartment behind her, and leaving me naked begging on my knees on the floor.

    Ah, by the way, curious as to what your chorus settings are? Might be useful to others as well.

    Anyone tried these multi coil J pickups: https://lawingmusicalproducts.com/bass ?

    Using the existing nut and nut slots ought to not cause any issues whatsoever. However if it is an issue all you would need to do is to cut a slim strip of shielding copper tape and fit it down in the nut slot with a string (place a strip of copper tape the width of the nut above the nut slot and then slide it down in the slot with a string, a bit of the strip sitting on each side of the slot on top of the nut), to make the slot a slightly tighter fit for the slightly thinner string. But I have my 5 string tuned to G standard tuning, with a gauge .080 G string in the nut slot otherwise cut to fit a gauge .130 low B string, and I've encountered no issues whatsoever. Nut slots are cut in an U, almost V, shape, so lower gauge strings will still sit perfectly fine and tight at the bottom of the slots otherwise cut to fit higher gauge strings.

    I was just about to post that link. They do look really cool, gets great reviews, but are quite affordable.

    I do, but I would think that will be at a high risk of it ending up sounding quite muddy, I honestly think 2 x series in parallel with each other would be likely to result in the best tone possibly with that pickup. Powerful, yet defined and articulate. That's at least what I would personally do. But I suppose you can always rewire it if it ends up too woofy and muddy your way. In any case one way or the other the wiring of it won't end up more complicated than the other, it's just a matter of how you chose to connect the wires from the pickup with each other.

    Never mind...

    Looks awesome! How are you going to wire the pickup? I'd suggest 2 x series in parallel with 2 x series. So you get two series humbucking halves in parallel with each other.

    What is a fake orgasm?

    That's my father's brother's name: Dick. In my grandparent's defense though I doubt they knew the other meaning of it in English. And at least they didn't name him Willy Dick Johnson.

    Or we both just know real music when we hear it.

    This is nothing like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran, this is real music! And soft, yes, but not dull. The musicianship is razor edge sharp, but not in a cold calculated way. Authentic and genuine, felt, real music!

    I was very positively surprised and actually really liked it (the Tiny Desk Concert video linked to in the OP that is). A lot even. I was expecting cold Fusion w**ker bass and contrived vocals that would sound like someone being tortured into an orgasm, overplayed and fake, but this is actually pretty damn awesome, and genuinely emotional. And I for one love the vocals as well, they sound authentic and genuine, and fits the instrumental part of the songs perfectly, not the bloated fake Soul groaning I was expecting. This is real music! Thanks!

    Do you mean Class D amp? Cause those are fully analog. The D does not stand for Digital, just like Class A doesn't stand for Analog, or Class B doesn't stand for Bass. And there is no such thing as a digital poweramp.

    Looks awesome! Great work! Though remember bridge ground wire as well.

    I replaced the stock P/J pickups in my Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Bass with a P/J set of EMG Geezer Butler pickups, and the tone went from decent to amazing. I can only recommend it. Definitely no boomyness. Quite on the contrary, these pickups are really articulate and adds a ton of definition.

    I love my 4 and 5 string Ibanez Mikro Basses as well. The 5 string being my current main instrument of choice, though strung with guitar strings (gauge: .080 - .062 - .046 - .036 - .026) and tuned to G standard tuning, as in 3 half steps above the upper 5 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning. Really using it more so as a 5 string Bass VI type instrument with wider string spacing, rather than a traditional bass. And the stock bridge J pickup sounds pretty damn amazing, rather growley, really dynamically sensitive, covering a quite broad frequency spectrum, and is surprisingly quiet for a single coil as well, with no hum to speak of. Also perfectly leveled frets from stock. I got just ever so slightly below 2mm string action on the low G string at last fret, with no fret buzz whatsoever anywhere on the fretboard, and seems like I could go even lower if I really wanted to. Also sustain for days. Simply astonishing value for the money.
