too dark..
So I changed the wiring on the series/parallel switches
to parallel/singol coil and it sounds AMAZING!
Now I have the traditional Smith sound plus a beautiful rich jazz like tone,whith a lot more dinamic response and richer harmonics.
everything you have been missing in the jazz bass you sold to buy your wonderful Smith is still inside there..
and it sounds great whith older strings as well being much more open on the highs.. and it sounds better in the high register.
I love it.

If you want to know "how I did it" just ask..

Interesting. That's on your 5GN, right? Would love to see how you did that.
