A mod classic with one of my fav basslines

I've tried that before. Sometimes the silk is intertwined into the string at manufacturing, making it difficult to remove. I've ordered what I hope is the correct nuts to do the job.

Some new flatwounds have fairly long silks at the ball end, which go over the saddles on my fender bbot bridge, causing them to sound very dead. I saw Duck Dunn had the same issue, and put some small nuts at the ball end of his strings which sit against the heel of the bridge, extending them enough so the silks don't go onto the saddles. Does anyone know what size nuts will allow the strings with silks at the ends to fit through? Like this:

It's as HeadlessBassist says a top twenty short scale. Kay never made a version like this, and it's not teisco, like people say it is because it bumps the value. Teisco closed in 1968, this was made after that time.

To get that properly repaired, would be to strip the whole body and refinish. White is the most unforgiving. The alternative is to find nail polish, as it comes in literally millions of colours etc, and very carefully touch up by layering.

Nope. They're much higher tension.

Not sure how you attach the other wires to the pot with the PCB block in the way, looks tricky to solder the PCB block with the live and ground wires going to the same lug(s). Fast and easy with these, but only as a temporary solution to test or try different pups. Think there's a hole in the center where you may be able to screw it to the body to stop it rattling.

You can get a two way terminal, costs pence. Put live and ground with corresponding wires soldered from volume pot. But unless you find a way to secure it, it'll rattle under the pickguard or control cavity.

A solderless loom does this job. EMG do an active version.

Was wondering if anyone uses them, and their thoughts on sound and tension?

Message was sent yesterday. But doesn't come into affect till next week. It doesn't apply to bulky items, so basses should be OK to send with own postage rate.

Why don't people post this sort of question in the Amps & Cabs section, where they talk ohms?

That's wicked. 😉

A fender CS 63 will give the op what they want. Along with the right strings, flats won't do it.

There's a significant difference between a CS 62 and a tonerider. Fuller sounding, better low mids, dynamics, and a lot more output.

That's not helping the gas.

Seller claims a Fender body on this bitsa? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135631315705?_skw=bass&itmmeta=01JPJATMN2V6N96EAAB0ABNJC0&hash=item1f9441a2f9%3Ag%3AXn8AAeSwf0pn2DSk&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dD4fsrCtIavrSUpMGOGhkdwjy0WiTC%2F0GQjHEH5xDZ9wCrayxpIVQsN%2FUhmDmGxNYYD%2B8g%2B4B9QercumjK7pGjMT4T3gp8D5bmaZ3z2cSNHn3jFjfhwlZZhhcb707wZK64%2B8A6dVrkPv1ajzxy2pDi4t9AITYT%2BxK4fYSBXT1Sq5GRIyIBQz9Wwlsd3nHNmn6jIJZ%2BskvplAEeCcNQnb3IOGCx4M9FWST%2BF2O7r5XV5L6rUWlXFuBddrad0oakNWTxtUQPhcAJHkxW3Gy5Sv1U|tkp%3ABk9SR-bK6sq0ZQ&LH_ItemCondition=7000|3000|2500|1500
