What are you guys using?  I've tried several sets of strings, even some that are supposed to be "super long" but they won't reach if I run them thru body. Do the ones for sale by warmoth reach thru body or just if you hook them into the bridge on the topside? Thanks! Steve

Thanks for all the replies so far.  The bass is nearly done, but I have two new issues. 1.  I can't get strings long enough.  Tried EB slinkys and they were too short by and inch or so.  So I went off on a longer trek to GC and they sent me home with some rotosound long scale 66s.  This time...

Hmm... I don't have enough experience on different pickups to really say which is better for what.  But I am curious about the tone circuit. I'm looking at the STC-2A, and I may have just mis-named some of the parts.  They show them as "Master Volume", "Blend Control", and "Concentric...

I've not started it yet, but I'm hoping I found the right part of the forum.   I've been playing the same P-bass for 10 years and am generally happy with the sound.  I'm pushing to a 5-string to get a little more rumble on the bottom (low B  :icon_biggrin: ).  I'm looking to have a new bass...
