    I reckon Dec 31st is the worst day to have a bass posted! Bank holiday, snowy Friday, weekend… 🙃

    These are good as long as you have room around the LED. They also do simple white ones. https://shop.warwick.de/en/rockboard-by-warwick-mounting-accessoriesrockboard-jewel-led-damper-small-defractive-cover-for-bright-leds-5-pcs.

    Further research shows that there is indeed a second cap fitted, which some people snip for more treble (I won’t) You can see them both here - one rectangle (the one some people snip) and a circular one behind it. I guess the rectangular one is the additional one to better voice the pickup for bass

    Ordered some strings yesterday at 10:40 and they were on the doormat in the morning! Fantastic!

    Surprised you still get four strings… I bet they thought about it!

    Yeah it’s a guitar pickup, 6 pole. There’s a lot of aftermarket options with 4 poles but personally I don’t think many of them sound better and having 6 poles makes no difference over four. I believe there are two caps in the circuit to enhance the low end response. The aftermarket jobs look interesting but hearing lots of comparisons online I usually prefer the stock pickup. With a bit of EQ you get all the lows but a more stringy midrange which sounds great imo.

    I didn’t really give them the time of day until I randomly bought my Mustang. A/B-ing with my two main basses at the time (Celinder J update and L2000) I found it consistently cut through the mix better, sounded fatter, more expressive, more comfortable and lighter weight! I’m really enjoying them now, and like you say, they’re easier to have around the house, noodling in front of the TV or in the office. With different strings and pickup options they can sound every bit as growly and alive as a normal scale bass, ime. I had written them off as dead and plonky but I must admit that the Musicmaster will be pointed towards that sound which I have come to appreciate more and more for certain music. I’ve gone from roundwounds and graphite sizzle to tone rolled back warmth with occasional toan bombs poking through when pushed.

    This one with flats

    Yeah it’s a 73 Musicmaster. I think k they sound really cool with flats. Unfortunately most YouTube demos are recorded very poorly though there are some decent ones out there:

    Supporting members shouldn’t see any ads, something isn’t set up properly I think.

    A little video, not much good but it gives a good idea of what the bass might sound like in better hands!

    Honestly, I was amazed by the difference (sounds like a YouTube video title)
