Three here in constant rotation - Dano 63 Redburst, Japanese Mustang 1998 Red Competition Stripes, Gretsch Jet with the single humbucker… love ‘em all… I’m sure my Pbass is sitting in the corner mumbling “play play, play me, please…😂
Anyone using Fender flats (9050 45-100) on Mustang strung through body? Do they fit or do the silks sit on the nut?
I know there are many other options - but they’re all 50-60£ a set. The Fender strings seem to be closer to the 40£ mark.
Ta - to answer both
Dano '62 Shortscale fitted with D'Addario ECB81S Chromes
Stored with strings on at pitch.
Pretty sure it's a lefty loosey truss rod which i've adjusted in both directions before. Usually to remove relief so it's kind of ironic I can't get more relief.
Bass has been in storage for a few months. Retrieved it recently to find the neck seemed to have flattened / had no relief resulting in a lot of buzzing around the low frets.
Loosened the truss rod a 1/4 turn to get some relief, but the problem returned a day or two later. Tried another quarter turn and the problem has returned.
Anyone tell me what’s occurred?
cheers
They do seem rare as. To be honest my guitar sized Mono has served me well on many a trip - and it has once (involuntarily, mind) been in and out of the the hold. But that's not something I'd willingly repeat.
Long... and slightly cheeky... shot - need a flight case for a mustang bass for a couple of EU shows in July. I don't want to buy one as normally the bass comes onto the plane with me, but this time due to flight costs it can't.
Anyone point me to somewhere I can rent one - or borrow one from a localish Bass-chatter? I'm Epsom / Surrey but can drive to pick it up - and happy to pay something reasonable for its use - and leave something as collateral for its return.
*thank you AP 😉
Watching the ecellent Creedence doc on Netflix, Stu Cook's bass caught my eye... one or two extra bells and whistles eh!
Anyone know what's going on here?
I've lost this gadget. Not the greatest sounding bit of kit in the world, but perfect for brushing up new songs in whilst on the road. I see there's a Mk 2 - plus some other manufacturers
Can anyone give opinions on / recommend a replacement?
Love my Guitar sized Mono. Sturdy... maybe a bit prcey these days... and survived 2 unplanned airplane hold immersions. Normally it goes in the overheads as it just meets some airline criteria - or failing that, a second seat.
