I have lots of foam which I'd used as dampeners - can't think why I stopped using it.

If you like that super clean and bright tone this is the way to go: https://lordofthestrings.com/en/brands/ebs-sweden I had them on a bass - hated them!!

A bit predictable but... Black dog - Led Zep

Too bright for me. I prefer a mellower tone so tapewounds ideally - nickel preferred over steels.

My thinking is leave it alone - not a bad little bass but not something I'd get a return on if I did upgrade the parts. It is what it is...a good little bass.

I acquired one of these to see what their like. Amazing little basses!! Previous owner had raised the action for no apparent reason - once lowered and reset it plays really nice. Very light strings make it really easy to play - "plays itself" - limited tonal range but anybody wanting to mess with the tone can always get effects pedals. This would make an excellent child's first bass or just for noodling in front of the telly. Easily worth the asking price.

I was thinking more about a multi string bridge rather than individual tuners but this has given me something to think about.

Found him on YT over playing a bass solo and lots of guitar videos. Not for me on this occasion.
