Wow - one day turn around - that's fast! Let us know how you like the Babicz bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow - one day turn around - that's fast! Let us know how you like the Babicz bridge. It helps when I'm about four hours down the road from the distribution warehouse. I'm definitely wanting to restring Nylons through the Babicz bridge. It looks like a great solid bridge.

MrNylon Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I went to order the 2015 SG Std., and they had one in stock. The sales rep. ordered one from the warehouse for me anyway. He said I can pick between the two, and they'll use the one I don't pick for stock. The new bridge is a Monster. A great change for the SG Std.

MrNylon Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's a good thing I have a choice of the two SG Std.'s. The one sent to me has damage to the tip of the left horn, caused by the SG Std. moving in the case during shipping. So much for the improved case to protect the 2015 SG Std. in the case.

MrNylon Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I chose the one they had in stock at the store. It plays great! I don't mind the looks of it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Now I guess I better order another set or two of ETB92S strings for backup. For my Jazz, and Precision, I can get the ETB92 long scales locally at a Sam Ash. But not the short scales for the SG Std., they have to ordered. Guitar Center stocks them online.

capmaster Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Congrats on your nice SG Bass, GSGBass - HNBD, mate! Yep, the short scale string choice is not that abundant. No problems with my Gibson SG basses here despite of their 30.5" scale, but there are no more strings of my preferred gauge anymore matching my 30" Fender Mustang. Fender discontinued them, and all the others I tried won't pass the nut with full winding diameter - there's too much length lost on the string-through-body path...

When I played a Pawn Shop Mustang with ETB92M Nylons, (ETB92M Medium Scale) the D'Addario fit fine at the nut. I first tried short scale, and they were as you said, the string through the body threw off the length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 My SG Std. is matched up great with the Hartke HD150. A good clear tone, with a lot of bottom to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the tip. Perhaps I should give some medium scale strings a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just now switched shorts to mediums on the SG Std. They fit a lot better. The short were to close to the nut, or sitting in the nut. A perfect fit, at least with the D'Addario ETB92M Nylons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they supply the 2mm hex key for adjustment and locking? My EB 2013s came without, but I had some redundant ones which had come with the Schaller Floyd Rose replacements I retrofitted two of my Fender FR Strats with. So I already had what I needed.

MrNylon Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 I like the 2015 version of the SG Std. For me it was worth the the extra cost of it. My sales rep. cut $100. off, so it was really only about $50. more than the cost of a 2014 SG Std. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I left the settings on the amp set for the T-Bird, and the Ray34CAFL. When the SG Std. played through it, it was too loud on volume 2.5, on the SG Std.'s volume knob. I cut back the volume on the bass to 2. These pups are monters on this Axe. I love it.
