Yeah, the allen wrench ground just made sense lol. The other P-bass half I had went on a 4-stringer, so I haven't. I didn't expect this build to be so twangy, or I would have just put it flush against the neck. I was trying to to a clearer bass,warmer treble thing with the angle on this one... don't think it mattered haha.

Got to use your allen wrench ground. Have you ever positioned the three strings between the poles of a P Bass pickup? It works.

Thanks. This has a real unique sound. Full, but loads of twang. I'll have to do a vid soon. I have it tuned to DAd right now... chunky.
