I love the way these ebayers are so opinionated: [quote]8 string basses are an extremely versatile tool that every bassist should have in their arsenal.[/quote] er, no I don't even support Arsenal and I have no need for an eight string bass whatsoever.

I've had a few from voodoo decals which I have been very pleased with https://www.voodoo-decals.com/products/fender-vi-bass-gold?_pos=1&_sid=4b52c4bcc&_ss=r I've not tried crox guitars but have heard recommendations http://croxguitars.com/decalbass.htm

Amp/Cab manufacturers quit using fuzzy rat fur to cover cabs. Use tolex or tuffcab instead.

Leathergraft: make a bass version of the comfy suede guitar strap. Instead of 2.5 inches make it 3.5 inches wide. Also add some other colours of suede to the range - I'd definitely order ones in cream and daphne blue.

I'm loving my waza air bass headphones - they are the best practice aid I've ever had. There's a new system update available but it seems unneccesarily fiddly to install. Has anyone done this successfully without bricking £300+ worth of kit? https://www.boss.info/uk/support/by_product/waza-air_bass/updates_drivers/c97e9fa0-4cdd-40ca-8c91-f0607a2bbd22/

Neck Butt!

It won't fit as the pickups and controls aren't in the same location.

No The JMJ comes with 9050s which are long scale — they are designed for 34" scale basses so the wound part of the E string goes around the tuner post on mustangs. They work but are not elegant, and they have snot green silks. It just seems odd that Fender don't supply a 32" medium scale set when D'addario & LaBella sell medium scale stainless steel flats that fit perfectly but cost more than the Fenders.

Fender — make stainless steel .045 – .100 flatwounds like the 9050 set, but sized for a string-thru mustang bass. With Daphne blue or black silks please, and ensure the strings are all nice and smooth like LaBellas or Chromes.

I still wonder about the inspiration for the upper horn. Once it has been pointed out you can't unsee it.

Fender - how about a run of JMJ mustangs in pristine non-roadworn nitro, maybe with some new colour options

All bass manufacturers: Roll the damn fingerboard edges - It makes any bass (or geetar) feel much better to play; its not difficult to do and doesn't take long, but often (i.e. on all maple necks) should be done before the finish is applied.

its not even a bass, its a four string left handed strat, and the intonation would be all over the place.

I upgraded from an H1 to a H2n a few years ago and I'm constantly amazed by the quality of the recordings
