My Bongo 5 had an awful problem with the top string running off the fretboard, which was not only very annoying but apparently quite common. Looks like yours might suffer from this also so could need some work at the nut which is how I corrected mine But as others have said, lovely instruments 👍

Yep, I'm no fan of the PUP LEDs so have disconnected them as well as the neck LEDs (i.e., removed the battery), and yes, the pickups themselves are passive so require no power

Ah, but the moment you do that you say to yourself "Shit, where do I now put that nice new pickup....?"

Thank you @Aidan63 👍 Yes, I;d also happily sell the body and neck separately, both are very nice

I get it, and a lot of that is true. But for some folks that versatility is important, not just within a single set or recording, but more commonly between them, it's bloody useful to have a single bass that can do multiple classic tones at the flick of a switch (and you can turn the lights off BTW) 👍

Here's mine BTW

I'm selling an Enfield as I'm no longer playing electric bass. The reason you don't see many for sale is because they are THAT good, seriously, people who have them hang onto them. And yes, while pre-amp selection makes a difference, the Quads replicate Jazz, Precision, and Stingray basses perfectly, as well as offering a whole range of other options. Mine's fretless but as a Fender fit instrument you can pretty much put any aftermarket neck on it. I suspect the reason they were discontinued is similar to for example the EBMM US SUB range, combination of the costs of making such good instruments plus competitive market forces etc, so often the case in audio gear.

Get a pro setup and start experimenting with changes from there Andy 👍

Rabbit meet hole 😀

Thanks @agedhorse 👍

Hey Paul, I'm not looking to work on an amplifier, I'm simply checking whether an off the shelf switching cable cable will work, and if not whether it'll do any damage to the amp in question, I think you've misread the posts 👍

Yep white vinegar is very good, I've just removed a load of PVA from a DB neck joint. You do need to be patient and take your time 👍

I'd like to offer an opinion but in my case 'subtleties' and 'double bass' do not sit in the same conversation. Having said that, and assuming it's working as it should and set up well, I really doubt you, the band members, or the punters would notice any difference in tone.

Yep, that's an F for sure 👍
