I'd rather buy quality parts from Warmoth etc and if needed be, have a local luthier put it together and set it up. Plenty more options at much less money.

That would look great with my BTB846v. If it hasn't, you should get it.

I've tried many, many over the years and insubstantial is nothing like I'd describe them. Yamaha guitars and basses are generally very good.

How exactly did the TRBXs feel flimsy and toy like? They feel pretty solid to me.

I have the 846v and it's luvverly. Spacing is 16.5 on the 5 and the 6.

Change them. Most P2s fit and EMG ExW series sound good.

I have the A6 FMMH and it's great, but my A5 Ultra Ash is awesome. For the prices I paid new, these are the bargains of the century. I'd like a Space 5 in black too, but I don't need another 5 (or 6).

Nearly as purdy as my SR375 in blue. Pic is a random google photo as I don't have pics on this device. The burst in mine is so subtle as to not be there (which I like).

I don't. I have a 33" that sounds great. It's more about construction and the string. All of my 34" are fine too. I'd look for a second hand Ibanez SR or BTB. There are a ton of them out there in various finishes and even some PU configs beyond Barts and Nordy soapbars like my SR655 if you want a PJ.

I'm not knocking the price as I understand the costs involved having designed and built transformers before (priced G.O.S.S. steel lately, and minimum order quantities?), I'm just not able to spend that much on 2 of them. Hope you sell enough on your basses and as free units to make it a worthwhile project for you.

I was interested for a bit, even though they're an odd shape, but not at 300 Euro ea.

The EE nerd in me wants to know, what does low impedance actually mean in this case? Congrats on finding success with the cloning. I have really enjoyed the builds you do that I've seen over the years.

Strap pin's too far down the neck. Looks like a diver to me.

What a horrible YT channel. I really haven't seen any QC issues of note with the Cort at least, and I'd be surprised if there were substantive issues based upon my 2 recent Artisan series basses (which are superb).

That is nice looking. Congrats. Now go play the bollocks out of it.

I had a Musician years ago. Very nice bass, but I can't recall why I sold it. The young fella who bought it was thrilled though.

That M6-5 in black swirl will be very tempting.

The 200 is a dual coil more like an MM, not the triple coil of the originals.

Just realised I haven't posted this here. My recently acquired SRMS806. Apart from the mildest buckle rash on the rear, there's not a mark on it and according to the seller it was a studio case queen. I was looking for the DTW finish, but this came up at the right price and time, and now I have it in my hands, I've grown to love it, same with the MS. It'll look really good with the GVB36 when it gets here.

That is a very sexy bass. I'd love one of them myself, but until one comes up here really cheap, my blue 5 string Ibby will have to be my 375.

Wicked deal.

That was a fairly conventional set of mods when I was younger.

It's not difficult, but if you're not familiar with routers, watch some general woodworking videos on how to use them, practice on some scrap wood, go slowly taking off small amounts per pass, follow the direction of the router bit and use a template. Simmnet in the UK make nice ones. If you're unsure what you're doing, it's really easy to <expletive> up the instrument. Be careful. I've never used a Dremel for this, but a small flush trim style router would be better as it has some power, but no so much it'll be like a rodeo bronco if it bites into something in the wood like a denser grained section.

In a choice between the EHB605 and the Cort Space 5, I'd go with the Cort. I don't like the blue, and I have Ibbys with the walnut flat finish, and I'll pass in the future.

I'll repost with better pics.
