Deep Thought Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Bah, my wife makes me do things like that-pain in the bum, eh? Lovely bass. I'm interested in your comments on the S-1 switching. I have it on my new P-bass, and on mine it changes the sound from a nice rich, full sound to a thin and weedy one with a noticeable drop in volume. I never use it. Love the bass otherwise, although the case it came with, as far as I can see the same asymmetrical job that you have, is a load of rubbish. Poorly put together, and one of the clasps isn't even put on straight. It's a pain to do up, and the shop I bought it from is currently chasing the Fender rep for a replacement. On the subject of the scratchplate, Fender seem awfully fond of the white ones at the moment. I wanted a black one, and although it's theoretically possible to get one from Fender with a black scratchplate, I was told that even if you order your bass with a black scratchplate, there's no guarantee it won't arrive with a white one! I had to get the bass with a white one and buy a black one separately! Enjoy, unexpected purchases like that are often the best ones.
