What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
Terry M. replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
I mentioned this on my list posted a while back. I have a Fender Jazz that came with one and I bought it KNOWING the stock white pickguard wasn't going to last long on it. I just can't stand them 🤭 -

I now find 4 strings weird.I skip over them in the classified ads for sale like you wouldn't believe. In fact I wish could filter them out of the search listings 😄 -
Once I realised that a 120 B string has no less fundamental than a 130 I now exclusively use 40-120 string sets. This is only in my experience I should add.

I absolutely believe this to be true.

Aftermarket thumb-rests installed on non-Fender type basses ESPECIALLY on Stingrays. -
This is an interesting one. While I don't dislike rolled fretboard edges I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who feels that too much is made of them from a marketing point-of-view. I'm unphased when I play a bass that doesn't have them. Maybe a solution to a problem that never was?

Japanese-built 5 string Sadowskys wherefore art thou?

Ok. These aren't ceramic pickups though?

Tried one in Andertons recently and it was truly magnificent. Did you mean neodymium pickup?

Agree with this. The M series are really uncommon.

Fender(ish) PJ with Jazz neck for £2k max - what would you go for?
Terry M. replied to DF Shortscale's topic in Bass Guitars
Yes indeed I've had USA 5 string Fenders with those bridge types AND the Sire Vintage V7 also has them. Being the fussy git I am I found that when the 19mm spacing on them was realised, the pickup pole pieces didn't line up with the strings. First world problems eh? 😄 -

Ironically I really like the bridge on my aforementioned Fender as it has 19mm string spacing which is a fraction larger than the typical Fender 5 string bridge.
