Hi Guys
Earlier in the year I bought a used Mexican P Bass. I wanted a the P to wear flats.
So I looked up the string gauge on the fender website and put the same gauge Chromes on it.
I instal the Chromes and it makes the formally low action,super high, worried it took it to my local luthier.
He did a setup and said the truss rod was pretty much maxed out and advised me to put lower gauge, lower tension strings on it.
I put La Bella Rx on it, set up again and it plays like a demon.
Fast forward a few months and I would like to get a MIM 50's P Bass but I'm worried the same thing will happen.
I need a bass with a nice low action due to past hand problems.
So should a '50s P Bass be good for a low action wearing flats?
Any help greatly appreciated
Cheers
Betty
