Just sharing some info about my Kingfisher bass.
I purchased a nice used one form Dave Guitar Shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Great place.
The quality of the wood, natural Ash finish, was very good. Neck thru body was nice.
The pickups are terrible. Big hum no matter what I did. And these are supposed to be humbucking pickups. They were also somewhat microphonic.
As others have mentioned, the volume pots are a waste of time. It seems that the Korean manufacturer cuts costs by putting crap electronics in otherwise a nice guitar. I find it "very interesting" that none of the reiviews on line made mention of the hum and the lousy potsI
Did they get altered models for review ?
I have replaced the stock pickups with EMG passive 35 HZ. What a difference !The fit perfectly. Dead quiet. Probably the quietest bass I have.
The pickups come with new pots and no-solder connectors. Pretty easy if you take your time and follow the very detailed color instructions.
By the way, the stock knobs will not fit on the new pots. Keep that in mind. Korean pots are almost always smaller.
New pups sound great with plenty of mids. You might actually cut them on your amp.
Well worth the effort in time and $$$$ for a great result. Should sound great in the studio. We will see.
Other basses I own: 1977 BC Rich Eagle with Guild humbuckers, 1975 Ibanez Black Eagle with DiMarzio stacked single coils,and a Fender American Elite Jazz in white.
