42Hz

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1503146070' post='3356039'] I've not noticed a problem with that yet ...[/quote] I don't know if it is common and - truth to be said - I played it for 3 years before I overcame my laziness and got the work done. But worth it on my guitar.

Congrats. CP 50s are very nice. Especially for clean sounds and light dirt. Mine was very (VERY!) noisy when not touching the strings until I painted the cavities with conductive paint. Very worth the effort.

I wanted to try a short scale so I got a Squier VM Jaguar SS. It is very comfortable to play for a number of reasons. Compared to my other basses especially the E-string might appear to have less definition. But that might be due to other causes than scale itself (strings brand and gauge, pickups brand and configuration, slimmer neck, different materials etc. etc. etc.). But it has a thump or Oomph! not surpassed by any other bass that I have. Many choices available at reasonable prices so give it a try.

My Sq VM Jazz FL: ~4.5kg

But would I pay more for a celebrity owned/played bass? Absolutely not. [/quote] Same thing here. Seeing a too-good-to-be-true deal I often suspect it might be stolen.
