Title: Custom Tribute 5 Bass - 06C13685
Post by: dead_head on June 01, 2014, 08:04:54 PM

I've been meaning to post pics for a while now, and finally I have some to share. They've been taken with a digital camera, and are all just under 2MB in size. I don't have a photo editing program, so I don't know how I can re-size them. Perhaps one of our kind members could assist me in my predicament? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rob,
 
If you have a Windows pc, it should have Microsoft Paint installed. Copy your original image file, open the copy. From the File menu, select Save As. Select jpeg, and if you can see advanced options, see if you can set the compression rate a little lower (30-40 range). That should do the trick already. If you can't see a setting for the compression rate on the Save As dialog, you might try the Properties section, available from the File menu.

I sent the horizontal pic of the face twice, because the 1st time, you didn't get a good view of the bridge and upper and lower lams on the pick-ups. Just learning how to post pics. Forgive the flubs...

Rob,
many congrats to this gorgeous bass.
I was two times short before buying that one from Beaver but refused two times as I am a 4 string guy.....now I am jealous....
Play it well...

Thanks, everyone. I've noticed that the pics I posted have doubled and tripled since I posted them Sunday. I wonder how that happened? Sorry for all the repeats. It didn't start out that way...

So, what are all the controls?

Title: Custom Tribute 5 Bass - 06C13685
Post by: dead_head on July 16, 2014, 08:40:17 PM

M.V., neck vol, neck filter, bass boost/cut, bridge vol, bridge filter. Q switch per p-u, led switch, p-u selector switch. Axy p-u in neck pos, fatboy p-u in bridge pos. Also has treble control in cavity. Maybe someday I'll mount the pot outside with the other controls...
