Hiyall.
I do a lot of work away from home and wanted to buy a bass that i could cart from hotel to hotel without having to worry about damaging it. So i saw a cheap and cheerful P Bass copy up for sale and decided to part with £40 to get it. this is my first full length bass as i have always played short scale , so it served a double purpose as i wanted to see how i got along with long scale. the build quality of this instrument is exactly as you would expect from a £40 guitar , but the tone aint too shabby. the one problem i have is the string height , despite adjusting the bridge to as low as it could go they are still very high. it looks to have fairly light guage strings on it , would putting heavier guage on help ? or would putting a shim on the neck be a solution ? or is it that full size basses are just different in string height and i just that i need to man up a bit .
any advice would be apreciated
cheers
