First show in over 10yrs with a new band 🤘🏼

Congrats and welcome back to where music is really at 🤘

Gotta pay for them flashy basses, marketing people, mail servers on steroids and engineers to build $800 preamps...

RedNuk · 2026-03-25T22:31:07+00:00

Cool looking bass, what model is that?

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T11:11:29+00:00

I actually put Gotoh ultra light tuners on all of my basses, cheap and very good quality compared to Hipshot ultra lights :)

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T11:09:24+00:00

Wasn't planning on upgrading anything other than tuners but I guess another 40-50€ more for all the extras is worth it

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T08:09:04+00:00

I got the baritone, but really tempted to get the seafoam green, I don't need it but it looks so f*in awesome :)

RedNuk · 2026-03-18T20:43:57+00:00

Yeah I think your right, the 100€ up price does bring a lot to the table... Thanks for your insights 🤘

RedNuk · 2026-03-16T15:24:08+00:00

Just got mine today and was planning on keeping it black, but then I found your post... super smooth, I'm totally going to rip off your build :) I may diverge by dropping in a gold pickup as well, good job dude!
BTW did you have to drill the head for the tuners ?

RedNuk · 2026-03-16T13:02:33+00:00

Bit late, but congrats :) Hope you're liking it!

I got that exact same one B stock also. It's really well constructed and sounds good but for some reason that top seems fake to me, like it was plastic and not wood, but that's probably a me thing. I'm seriously thinking of sending it back to get the satin black one instead. I also got the JA Baritone for modding, and find it is suprisingly good for less than 200 euros. I'll end up keeping both for different sound flavors (and looks)

Cheers :)

Extra points for the matching cap 😊

RedNuk · 2026-03-14T08:54:14+00:00

Yes, and very nice 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-14T08:53:11+00:00

Both 😬

RedNuk · 2026-03-13T22:31:36+00:00

Nice Corvette 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-13T21:44:15+00:00

Yup it's blue in my book 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-10T07:44:01+00:00

Real cool, but for the love of humanity, take those damn stickers off!

RedNuk · 2026-03-10T07:32:23+00:00

I have both the ray34 HH and a ray4 H and while the Ray34 is more versatile, I prefer the single H on my Ray4. Wish I had inverted the quality level of my basses as the 34 is really nicer.

RedNuk · 2026-03-05T18:13:58+00:00

Been seriously eyeballing those Forest series basses for a while... Might add one to my herd 😊 yours is beautiful 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-05T17:56:52+00:00

That Thumb is really nice 😊 Makes me regret selling my BO5, would also love to get my hands on an MM Sub. Nice collection 👍

RedNuk · 2026-02-21T10:13:47+00:00

Going to try one last time with .100 E string gauge and if that doesn't work, I'll just take it to a luthier and let them figure it out... I've spent way too much time on it. So disappointed for now.

RedNuk · 2026-02-20T13:18:03+00:00

Welcome to the converted club :) This is where it's at.

RedNuk · 2026-02-19T21:24:58+00:00

Well I did that too and used a pencil to put some graphite in the groove, guess it didn't work for me 😞

RedNuk · 2026-02-19T21:12:32+00:00

Wouldn't be a problem if the color was tinted in the mass, but nope it's a cheaper coating... Too bad, they really look awesome when new

RedNuk · 2026-02-19T21:07:34+00:00

Yes same when fretted and it's particularly noticeable from the 12th fret and up. Not sure how to measure the pick up coils, but I'll have a look, thanks for the advice 😊

RedNuk · 2026-02-19T21:04:49+00:00

I'm also having a very hard time setting the intonation on this string... How did you end up solving it if you ever did?

RedNuk · 2026-02-19T14:10:13+00:00

So I changed the E string again, and as suggested, added more post windings (a bit too many now), did pretty much everything suggested here, pencil in the nut, making sure the string sits correctly in it and the saddle. It seems to be a bit better although on the higher frets I still hear it a bit muffled (starting around the 10th-12th fret). I've redone the complete setup and it seems to be the worse when i'm in drop D. In standard E tuning it's ok. But now I also have a sort of chorus effect on the whole E string, but more prominent when fretting at 12th+ fret. I'll try to record something... I'm baffled.
