  1. Absolutely normal to keep an eye on the site when on a trip. Why not?
  2. That’s the beauty of a shiny black bass.
  3. Have to agree with all of the above. They are really versatile instruments. Prices appear to have “bottomed out”, so get in quick.
  4. I think that is correct………so probably not Gotoh without saddle screw grooves.
  5. The extra attachment holes are normally seen on the Gotoh version of the BBOT bridge. If it came from a Japanese Fender bass it might be possible that it came from new like that. I am not sure if Gotoh stamp their BBOT bridge.
  6. It’s cheap gold……..a bit coppery……….but shines nicely!
  7. Wise words! What I like might not be what you or others like.
  8. Follow Frank’s wise advice above and persevere in the enjoyment. I can assure you that it will be worth it.
  9. This ^^^^^^ Fender uses Meguiars in their branded products for the same intended use. Of course, the Fender product is way over-priced. The auto detailing world will lead you to the best prices, I’d bet.
  10. Yes, a vernier gauge (caliper) will give you the correct dimension. Recommend that you take several measurements to give you an average.
  11. I’m also a player of the 4 string version and totally agree! Fantastic instrument.
  12. Those who have them, keep them. Not sure why it seems relatively few fretless MM’s are produced relative to the other name-brands.
  13. Don’t overthink it. Simplify the bass line if you can and still retain the basics. Practice, practice, practice!
  14. I normally take two basses with me. One is always passive. For smaller stages I pack a headless instrument if required.
  15. I sing bv’s, enjoy it, and get satisfaction when I can hear myself consistently to stay on pitch in multi-part harmony arrangements. I find in-ears a great help for this. In general, I find the average jo-public to be more aware of the vocal quality of a band than the sound of the instruments. Bass……..what’s that?
  16. Reminds me of the good old days…………..
  17. I find Chromes slightly brighter overall than LaBellas. I have both on various P basses and like them equally. I’ll throw in that GHS Precision flats are also worth a try if you’re undecided which you prefer.
  18. FYI: Here’s a link to the pumpernikel on the OVNI labs site: http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/pumper.shtml
  19. Not one in your list, but……. https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/pumpernickel This is a killer compressor. The kit is not cheap, but excellent quality. Available here: https://www.musikding.de/Pumpernickel-compressor-kit (No affiliation with seller)
  20. Like anything from Fender………and everywhere the same price!
  21. The price versus quality comparisons would likely show the Japanese offerings to be the best of “Big F’s” entire range.
  22. I remove them partially in order to oil the fingerboard from time to time and then put them back ☺️
