TBP Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I'm a little late on sharing this, but some cool looking instruments here. I'm tempted by a Tribute bass. I'd also be tempted by the Comanche with Z-Coils if I wasn't in a paring down / money for medical stuff mode. https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/

I'd also be tempted by the Comanche with Z-Coils if I wasn't in a paring down / money for medical stuff mode. https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/ The Z-coils are cool because have true single-coil character without the hum (they buck the hum by having two half-size single coils side-by-side). The Comanche also has a cool toggle switch to enable either neck and bridge together, or all three pickups at once! I had a Comanche which I sold because I couldn't get along with the 1-5/8" nut... Fast forward to yesterday, when I just bought this beauty with an ebony fretboard with a 1-3/4" nut width. These are hard to find! As soon as I can replace the clown-vomit pickguard with a solid black, I will be good-to-go.

It may be my favorite sounding guitar, just edging out the Hamer Artist, but the P90s and no shielding makes for severe hum. I also get a forearm welt when playing it while seated.

Years ago, I had a G&L SC-2, my first P90 guitar, and the hum was so bad that I gave up on soapbar pickups... that is, until I tried a Hamer Artist that had been retrofitted with SD Phat Cats. I fell in love! Phat Cats rule! Their hum was not nearly as loud as the G&L P90s, in my case.

I've thought about trying Phat Cats in my PRS Mira, as it's shielded (and I'm happy with the humbuckers in my Artist). But another Artist with P90s and less hum could be sublime.
