Hi Ricky,
It's taken this long to respond to your post because the strings on this bass were absolutely shagged, not much of the nickel remaining. So I waited until my new strings arrived and give it a proper set up so to give it a fair hearing. TBH it sounded fine as it was despite the intonation being miles out and a massive curve in the neck, things could only get better. Stripped off the old strings and to my surprise the nut fell off! No evidence of glue in the recess. No matter as 80lbs of string tension will hold that baby firm.
Plugged in and what a difference. Fingers zipping around the fretboard, sounds a bit over bright, but that's to be expected with new strings... they will soon mellow out. The bass itself is a nice weight, feels like a medium scale even though it's a long one. Gave it a good workout, and it proves to be a great all-rounder, the active circuit tone controls are simple and effective... Glad I bought it, a joy to play.
Cheers...
Col.
