    About Balance Knob!

    Gentlemens! I have a question about the balance in my Thumb NT 6, when I pan to the bridge Pup with intentions to get that nasal tone of Jaco, the sound becomes very thin, almost just mids, and loose volume, but this does not happen with my Streamer Jazzman, I try to compensate by giving bass...

    Corvette Standard Ash passive - balance control

    Hi! I noticed one thing about balance control pot on my Stand. Corvette Passive. It doesn't really work as balance control like the one on my Thumb BO. It's really just like a switch control between pick-ups. I can only have neck, birdge pick-up separately or I can have both of them...

    Hello to everyone: If anybody out there has actual experience with solutions (not just conjecture), I'd really appreciate some ideas or advice. I just got a neck-through Thumb Bass. Although it is the best-sounding (and fastest) bass I have ever played, it is kind of an ergonomic disaster...

    Corvette $$ Balance

    Calling out to Corvette $$ users (4 and 5 string), I 'd like your comments on the instrument's balance with a strap. I recently tried out both a Corvette STD 5 Bubinga and a Corvette STD 5 Ash. I found the Bubinga's balance excellent! It easily stayed where I put it, no need whatsoever to...

    A Question of Balance...

    While doing a setup, on my thumb 5, I noticed heavy steel bars stuck together with double-sided tape tucked away under the bridge, and in the module cavity of the bass. I assume these are counterweights intended to balance the neck so it does not tend to drop. Do other members find that this...

    Thumb NT Balance

    Hello there, calling out to Thumb NT users, can you comment on the instrument's balance? I read in another thread ("Warwick Thumb Bolt-on versus Warwick Streamer LX") some people found the BO Thumb uncomfortably neck heavy. I wonder if something like this happens on the NT version, considering...
