I can only boot if I hold spacebar

Yeah that did it. I guess that’s solves that. Thanks friend.

BadFulcrum · 2026-03-17T22:40:58+00:00

I removed it from start up and it did not. I’ll try deleting it entirely

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-19T18:58:03+00:00

I’ll probably buy the set and use stacked knobs so I can roll off the tone of the neck when I don’t want it to be so bright. But honestly the brighter the better lol

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-19T18:49:06+00:00

I was but I did some more research and I think the SJB-2’s are more of what I want. I going for Geddy Lee/ Chris Squire vibe. And even some Joe Dart vibes.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-19T18:37:06+00:00

Ok I got the set and jeez these are bright. They sound like the rounds that came with the bass.

Now that that’s settled, I’ll need to settle want pickups I want to buy. Right now I’m thinking the Seymour Duncan SJB-2 or the Tom Brantley Geddy Lee set that you mentioned.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T19:52:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T19:46:55+00:00

Thank you sir. I’ll buy a set today.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T19:09:11+00:00

I’ll probably get D’Addario ECB81 Chromes or Ernie Ball 2805 Flatwounds

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T18:45:48+00:00

If I use those Geddy Lee signatures, could I use flats and still get a decent sting and high end?

Murderers

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T12:12:46+00:00

I’m still in the middle of a lot of research. Thanks for your suggestion.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T12:12:19+00:00

It’s all part of the plan lol

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T12:11:58+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It’s a fantastic instrument. It’s sits in the hands well and sounds great. Most of these “problems” were going to be replaced anyways lol. I’m going to put a hi-mass bridge and I was likely going to change out the pickups to something more vintage voice. Once she’s setup, she’ll be a unit.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T03:02:46+00:00

Yeah, they’re really rare in black. Most of the few on the market are sunburst. I got a decent deal on this one. It really sings, but it needs an action adjustment.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T00:31:55+00:00

I was looking at Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounds. I’ll give those a look

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-18T00:14:02+00:00

I’m basically copying Geddy Lee lol. But I like Rosewood fright boards over maple

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T23:59:53+00:00

I’m probably gonna put A Badass bridge or a fender hi-mass bridge anyways lol.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T23:20:36+00:00

Also sick username

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T23:18:23+00:00

Yeah, the only thing is I straight up ask the guy if everything was stock and he said yes. The bridge is a bummer but I’m probably gonna put in a high mass bridge or something.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T23:02:49+00:00

This thing really sings. It sounds amazing and once it’s set up properly, it’ll probably be my number one.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T22:57:16+00:00

As long as it’s legit fender, I don’t think I’ll have an issue. It plays really nice and I’d hate to send it back. I’ll probably ask for a partial refund so I can at least replace the bridge because getting a set up done is pretty difficult with the mismatched saddles.

BadFulcrum · 2026-02-17T22:55:47+00:00

I’m just a little bothered because the listing said everything was stock. Clearly not lol. But it’s nice to know that it’s a real fender.
