I'll fix the pots at 10, push em in the cavity, plug holes, new nut, and voilà, a Korina Explorer bass whose knobs don't get under my arms. The straight bridge will make it easier to intonate.

I'm on a pointy instrument kick. I'm ordering a lefty Gibson Explorer guitar this week. Delivery will be around mid-July.

Superheavydeathmetal recommended pushing the pots through on my Jackson--well that just opens up so many other guitars and bass played as lefties. I don't need to fiddle with knobs on such a bass. Full up 10.

Love that Warwick.

In a fair world :) , I'd be able to afford an Alembic like the Ox's.
