Members t3ch Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 OK, opening the box a package with cables and allen wrenches fell out... Cool beans, my fretless didn't come with anything. I had planned on repainting it, but the silver/white actually look really sweet. The finish on it is flawless and the speckled silver is pretty damn cool looking, I must admit. My only real complaint is that the pickup had some plastic wrap on it, and I had to actually unscrew and remove the pup a little so I could finish taking it off. The frets are all smooth on the edges and the neck feels pretty good. My A-string is messed up though, and I'm not technical enough with bassythings to diagnose it. I uploaded a clip for you guys, but again, sorry about the messed up string. It's better than nothing though, so quit your complainin' I haven't played in about 6 months btw, and I only played for a few months prior to that, so pardon my very bad playing. I only noodled for a few minutes before throwing this up. Short recording of SX - This was done directly through my 800RB with the EQ on flat. Any others who received yours, pipe in with what you think about it... Everyone else, discuss Oh, and tell me what you think is wrong with my A, it sounds awful I tried to find songs that didn't use A much but I failed miserably.

Moderators Kindness Posted November 29, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2007 I hear it. It needs to be setup. Before it is setup, it's fretwork should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zebra Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 It must be SX week or something. At least your finish looks cool. I might have to do something about the finish on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Death Hands Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 It sounds great, I think. Minus a few things. Haha. Well worth the money, no doubt. So, Pats, is this any more evidence for you, or are you awaiting a statement from Rondo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 If the string is solid at the bridge and nut, maybe it's the pickup. That pole piece could be loose. I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
