I suspect if the tort guard doesn't help, the problem is in the distal phalanx ;)

that's got to be the answer - I'm sure Reggie expressed that in a PM to the OP.
Gotta love it. :) Wonder if he'll come back to the thread.
He says he's a Fender guy but if he thinks a passive p/j setup with a switchable active preamp is a "super modern" sound, then I doubt it.
It probably just needs a new strap. :P Yeah, that's the ticket.
I bet he's running scared and won't reply to Hamilton.
Note also that his join date is December...it's probably his first, most ignorant post.

I'm laying odds that he can out-ignorant himself in no time - he's certainly in the right place.
I love his first comment "sounds great", but it's entitled "hate the tone"
Those are his only two posts.

That fits in very well with being a Fender guy who doesn't like the tone of a Fender.

by the way, that (^) was painful to write, even in jest.
Reggie H., the alleged LaBella endorser, only plays Fender strings (made by D'Addario) except on his double bass and ABG. You live and learn. Of course, with a Fender signature model named after you, a Fender string endorsement won't earn you anything.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are a character ;D
I really wish you'd post on TB sometimes............Your wit really is extraordinary.
They'd stone me there!
Speaking of you, I walked past Sam Ash in NYC last night and they had about a dozen Gibson and Epi Basses up on the wall - the G-3 and the new Epi TBird Classic Pro among them. Seeing it in real life, the slightly off-set cutaway is far more prominent than on pictures, but it's not a bad visual result. Why the hell did no-one think of it before?
Que Scott... enter stage right... ;D

I'll admit it's a *solution* and a relatively graceful one at that, in a side-by-side comparison I still much prefer Gibson's shape. But, and I'll freely admit this, I don't spend much time playing past the 12th fret. Why pervert a beautiful thing ;)
TB could use your wit!

Only because half of them (the half under 19) are so young and poorly read they're incapable of understanding what "wit" is.
Nonsense... Ev'body knows coffee's bet-er wit sugar... ;D

Those are the half-wits.
OTOH there's no age limit on being satire-impaired.

I hate all three: satire, irony & sarcasm.

I've always admired how healthy your diet must be with all that fruit around.
