Andy I appreciate the help on this so much. I picked up the GM4T to play last night and wham, all out of tune. So I decided to document carefully so that you...
I use the following method. It seems to work better than the factory instructions.... Good Luck!! Steve If you're having trouble getting the trem to transpose...
... Setting up the trem involves moving up 1 step and tuning with the knobs. Then go two down 2 and use the fine tuners. You may need to tweak back and forth...
I could remove the bridge, fill in the screw holes with epoxy (allow to cure) place the bridge back with a shim in place, re-drill the screw holes with a...
It was mentioned a while back that Status has a new compact bass coming out and they had a "teaser" image up for it. Their site has been updated and they have...
... I reckon if Steinberger was still making XL5W's they'd probably price out about the same these days. My concern about a small bodied bass would be mass....
Hi Andy, I think Status prices are pretty reasonable considering what goes into them and agree a Steinerger would have to be a similar price. And if you guys...
I have handful of rubber bands. There are many Steinbergs without rubber bands.... I will use regular envelope and US postal service. In USA it should be ...
I......AM......SPEECHLESS........ That is one of the most gorgeous basses I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the guitar model! ... [Non-text portions of...
All, I just finished modifying a headpiece to allow for Thomastik flatwounds to be mounted on my Synapse 5 string bass. I noticed that with the lower tension ...
Try a 4mm, it feels a little loose but it grips well enough for a couple of quarter turns. This is very close to a 5/32, but I hear you about being afraid of...
hi Benny, I already got an RMA from MusicYo. I just don't have another 8 to 10 hours to coax this thing into tune, much less the ongoing hassel. I am hoping...
... Just for the record, instead of trying to shim the bridge as I suggested you could just loosen and shim the headpiece. The end result would be the same....
That is a good idea Andy. Needless to say that didn't occur to me. The GM4T is on it's way to Nashville. I also sent an email to the folks at MusicYo to...
"Delaps have gained a mythical status because of their scarcity and because God uses one (Allah Oldsworth) maybe Musicyo could buy Delap out.......... Just...
What are the drawbacks to simply living without the black rubber bands? Mine's looking a little tatty -- it could break the next time I change strings [which,...
I never heard back the last time I posted, so I decided to post once more. I'm looking for an unlined fretless L2 / XL2. I have unlined fretless XQ5 and XQ3...
Not much except for the high-velocity projectile that shoots out of the headpiece when you bust a high-e string as you are doing a bend while TT'd to F#....
I just got my D'Addario 9's on Friday and put a set on my brand new GM4T today. I just busted my 2nd high E and I'm pretty pissed. Do I have to go back to...
Hey Derek, I feel your pain--in general, 9's work fine, but the D'Addario's are worthless IMO. I still have a few old D'addario 9 sets and every time I change...
I'm new to this group and joined because I recently saw Allan Holdsworth and noticed that he was playing a guitar which looked like a Steinberger. I did a bit...
I'm interested as well, and wondering: are the fretless xl/L basses all of the unlined variety, or do both kinds exist? (I'd much prefer unlined). Recently, a...
They come in both varieties, although I think the unlined are more common. Roundwounds can wear down the board and people have described this as an issue in...
Guys, be careful ! I don't know anything about the seller but the announce title says that the seller is in Savona ( Italy) while on the text body he says the...
