  1. A mustang with the original style bridge with large plate will need 32" medium scale strings as it is string-thru, but the ones with a standard BBoT will need 30" short scale strings. I have a few shortscales with various different strings. My favourites for the mustang were TI JF-324 but then I added a JMJ mustang to my collection which came with standard fender 9050L long scale flats which sound and feel great so I kept them on the bass and got a set for y other mustang. I recently bought a Guild starfire bass which also needs medium scale strings despite haveing 30" scale length. As it comes with roundwounds for some unknown reason I needed to source get some flats for it and ended up with status stainless flats. These are made by picato I believe, and no longer being made so stock will run out at some point which is a shame as they are perfect despite being half the cost of similar strings.
  2. If you replace the socket, or get someone to replace it, make sure you get a mono switchcraft jack socket. Standard cheapo ones lose their springiness over time but switchcraft ones are much sturdier.
  3. Frankie Poullain left the Darkness for a few years and rejoined several years later.
  4. To get the full effect you need to hear one
  5. it looks like someone took the saying 'you can't polish a turd' as a challenge
  6. Dylan's Blonde on Blonde is one of my favourites
  7. Is that their Cack Jasady model?

  9. They're trying to convince you they're bigshots who can represent your music and they're communicating via a gmail address. They're not even trying to be taken seriously.
  10. If they're asking for money from you upfront its 100% a scam. No doubt whatsoever.
  11. cherry sunburst with an aged white pearl pg. Yum Yum!
  12. I read the entire site from start to finish to ensure I don't miss anything
  13. Plenty of gear that's been 'preloved'. That doesn't sound very hygenic in these covid times.
  14. Maybe I'm misremembering, but weren't those flea basses generally regarded as overpriced and disappointing when they first came out?
  15. If a fender sounds thin & lifeless to you, it sounds like you need a wishbass - I’d consider that the opposite of a fender. Alternatively you could try to fatten up your tone with a compressor and/or preamp
  16. I wonder whether he really designed these to be able to use a bass with these fitted as an e-meter for his scientology auditing.
  17. Maybe its a Will Lee signature model

  19. Nice thread resurrection I wonder whether its worth suggesting one of these as the original manufacturer has no interest in reissuing them
  20. I can't use clippers as they never cut properly for me. I use the scissors on my swiss army knife. Mine is the cybertool but there are smaller ones with the same scissors.
  21. Or you could bring a set of pliers to the gig so you can play the first set fretted and the second fretless
