I insist on an answer damnit ungrateful b’stard
-
Just stick with flatwounds …is my advice and use foam at the bridge - I use a dishwashing sponge
-
Nope, she’s a keeper

I loaned mine to someone and he actually took care of it, despite being a guitarist.
-
Entirely normal
-
I have a cheap one made by reverb, it’s round. It handles a low B nicely
-
Wow those squier cv basses are looking convincing these days … and that hooky decal too. Nice job 😉
-
Maybe the air worked differently then, or perhaps the electricity used was a different shade of rose-tinted
-
And flat wounds since those are vintage whereas rounds are not
-
That is um.. brave … I suppose
-
Possibly string-thru makes a difference albeit a small one. Don’t think bridge mass matters at all
-
but also a BBOT bridge might look a bit cheap on a super premium instrument?
-
There’s nothing much wrong with a BBOT bridge, other than bring subjectively ugly I seriously doubt it makes much, if indeed any difference and I bet a good setup is more important to tonal quality anyway
-
I’ve had one of these and it was very nice indeed -
Snake oil - tried it maybe there’s a difference at stadium volumes but real world ? No, imho you may get some functional things like threaded barrels for string spacing or somesuch

I only got them a week ago. If you see the thread I started it’s all described with pictures “12 fret action on p bass” @kwmlondon
-
Just get a straight edge or fret rocker. I spent £11 on a fret dressing kit and solved my own problem that was similar to yours a truss rod tweak plus two high frets

Bending notes above 12th fret cutting out

Or a ski jump -
My fret care kit arrived from China and I sanded and crowned the upper frets of the stingray clone. It’s down to 1.75mm at the 12th … probably a good point to stop when I’m feeling brave I’ll take on the p bass and it’s ski jump
-
Didn’t you say that on Saturday also? nice - wish I could justify the purchase -
Thanks I’m not a lone voice in saying there is a free solution to this ….

Our Amazon delivery person drives an electric van and is always happy dpd arrive in a diesel van and they’re always grumpy

Not backlit though

I didn’t - I always thought Frida looked more interesting
