How about a Serek, a Gibson, and a Fender MMB? -

that’s definitely a pickup issue. That E string was very weak in the demo vid. also, what’s the nut width and the string spacing at the bridge? -

Acinonyx is a great little bass. And Carey's design and engineering, and general approach are the best in the biz. (owned three Nordy's and still own two, one of which is my main bass currently) I'd like to snatch a Cat. But the ridiculously narrow nut width is a deal-breaker for me So enjoy it: those, who don't have this issue! I'll envy you from the distance :) -

Has anyone (who owns and plays both) compared a Serek and a Wilcock? Pickups configurations aside, how’s the feel and overall build quality different ? Cheers! -

Time to share my shorties here. Gibson LP DC Tribute and 1973 Fender Musicmaster Bass -
Tried a new V2 Mustang in a Berlin store. The blue one. The stripes are not that bad in person. The bass is well balanced. Liked the neck shape: rather beefy. Sounds well, the tone control is rather useful. Overall quality is nice. However, the A string buzzed like crazy: not enough tension on the nut. A couple of additional loops on the peg would’ve probably solved the issue. Or something like a Fender peg retainer.

Yeah, as mentioned above, the nut width is different. The shape is also technically different: 'C' shape vs 'Modern C' (the latter is a tad slimmer). Also the finish is different: nitro vs urethane. So, for you they may feel the same but, given my previous experience, I'd probably perceive them as two rather different animals (nut width being the most important difference for me). Thanks for clarifying! -

Congrats! Looks great. Why do you call it a JMJ neck? The specs are entirely different. -

You've probably seen it on the other forum. I'll upload pictures once I'll locate them.
