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

Hi Guys,
I am interested in buying a Fender American Standard P Bass near me.
It has a serial number beginning with US12.
Does this mean it will have the custom shop 60's pups installed as long as they have not been swapped out?
Thanks

This is my first ever bass.
I went in to my local shop tried loads of basses out and this felt the most comfortable.
Now I've just got to learn to play the thing.
By the way, I had to Google Nate Mendel
Cheers
