To me, when they changed the MIM necks from quarter-sawn is when they started not feeling like Charvel necks anymore. I have a MIJ neck on one of my MIM bodies and four MIM San Dimas and Pro Mods. These are 2014 and 2015’s. These MIM necks feel very similar to the MIJ. The 2016 and on non...
I’ve swapped many of these out in the past. No issues. OFR will align with the current posts installed. The OFR posts included when you buy a new OFR are better so I’ve always swapped those out as well. There will be a slight gap in the route as the route was cut for the 580 base plate but it is...
Yep, no problem. set-up a cc to bypass the unit(s) when not using a preset. You can also just program a clean preset as well. As long as you don’t use the gate and set your mixer accordingly your signal will remain analog.
Rack tuners are nice, especially on stage when your eyes at 50 aren't quite what they were just a decade ago. :lol: :LOL: I've actually since moved the rack tuner to my small bass rack that I actually gig with occasionally.
Still have fun firing this beast up every once in a while.

I’m a guitar player and ran into a similar scenario where I needed/wanted a bass for a project. The Sterling by Music Man series are great. The Ray 4 is what I got for around $300 and love it. One passive pick up with an active preamp. Sounds great and the neck is very comfortable.
Intellifex sys files won’t work in it. Different interface, fx blocks etc. You can run it post like the Intellifex but I found it best in front of a preamp. It has some really nice fx like tremolo, phaser, flanger and an excellent rotary speaker that sound best pre preamp.
