Rotosound Solo Bass Pressure Wounds are SS... https://www.rotosound.com/product/rs55ld/ On Sale at PMT £21.50 from £33 https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/rotosound-solo-bass55-45-105?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiPS14Lzl-gIVD-ztCh0jjQUuEAQYASABEgJV1vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

for home use, practicing, small gig on the floor, or small stage... Is if worth consisering a bit of a kick back or wedge? - Sloped 60 deg-ish front? with a small flat top... particularly if being paired with a small form factor head...

seen a secondhand, Pre-Fitted, Tonerider TRP1 on the bay for £26 posted... Daft not to.. (cheapest i've seen is £39 from Northwest Gtr via Amazon) Destined for my P Bitsa (to replace the one donated by @Rumple that he thinks came from an SX) for softer warmer tones. Hopefully they will fit my cream covers. EDIT: Don't fit my cream covers, pole centers out by a smidge.

^ Yep... Stingray! you can even reverse the winder on a lot of open machine heads... i have previously seen 3 + 1 bass necks on the bay... kimase?

fret at fith and sixth and re-do the tap test on the 4th... compare with the othr strings.

Round Nickels... Dunlop 'Lemmy' 50 70 85 105...

Maybe a pre cut nut for say a 12" radius on a 9" radius fret board? Fret the string at the third... there should be a 'light tap' gap between string and first fret. If not try a pit of paper in the nut slot... if this fixes the issue and you dont want to replace the nut then the Super Glue and Baking Soda mix works. did this on my J Bitsa - nothing to loose...

check Gumtree for your area... Squier P... Ibanez SR300... Yamaha RBX... £180/£200...

If not heard... 801 live... Roxy without Brian.

Ease of manufacture with a big route for pups and wires... then cover with plastic. My custom bodies @ Luthiers Warehouse were only an extra fiver for rear route... Scratchplates would of been at least a tenner... I think a clear plate on a Jazz where a control plate is fitted keeps 'the lines' Maybe a smoke plate on white would look cool...

Don't Fret... It's only a string...

...anyone know the German for Stings?..

...and Orianthi before Nina... I think Kane Roberts is now back... good, but not as female...

i'm oddsing Jazz... Maybe PJ? I like the string retainer...

Computer Screen / Spectacles wipes from the pound shop... Easy to have a couple in ya case or glg bag...

Nice Finish, Nice Weight... Just right size... Nice feel on a damped bourns pot, Kiogen loom...

Morphed?.. Mullered!..

if you can get past that headstock...

...I know a player series isn’t £400 better than a Squire... I’m not getting any younger, may as well get what I really want. What ever inspires you to pick it up more often is possibly money well spent... As a Hobby, every time you pick it up for an hour it gets cheaper! And as you say... Why Not!
