I managed, you should be ok You might struggle with a five though, I had an ibanez five and it was quite wide

I had a prosebass with fan frets and it was lovely Even my five year could play it comfortably and not miss frets

Yes it's a good system and at least lets you plan your day better

You and drummer should slam his fingers in the door a few times

It is, although not sure I'd pay that much

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1437389491' post='2825489'] The way I see it, it's small, it's not in a place where your hand would normally be when playing, it's on the underside so you won't see it when you're playing and neither will anyone else notice. Not worth the ballache to argue the toss with someone who doesn't deem it as important as you, however "right" you may be on a logical level. I'd probably be mildly irritated, resolve to do something about it then never get round to it as if the rest of the bass is sound then I'd be too busy playing/enjoying it to worry about something as minor as that little flaw. So, I'm in the "let it go" camp. [/quote] Yes don't let it hold you back anymore ...

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1437389053' post='2825481'] That probably is "new" condition, as that looks like a manufacturing blemish rather than something that happened to the bass after it left the factory. [/quote] Yep

Doubt the seller noticed in all honesty

Zero sense more like

You can use a regular 3/16 Allen key but the fender tool is waisted allowing you to turn the nut at an angle

I'd pick U2 as it's not too taxing and there would be squillions of piles of cash to struggle along with

I've got an sr16 and I find programming it a lot of pain (i'm actually a programmer by day) I'd recommend hydrogen

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1436269481' post='2816536'] Thanks for this, just checked it on Amazon and it's ideal. I'm having that! [/quote] I have it, it's very worthwhile

Plenty good stuff there thanks

Not my cup of tea but quite stylish in my humble opinion

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1435935438' post='2813808'] Looking at the more recent catalogues on Tokai Register, your bass is very similar (or, identical as far as I can see!) to the APB32 model which appears in catalogues between 1995 & 2000: Regarding the date, I've read that Tokai's Fender clones don't use date-decodable S/Ns, although this doesn't seem very likely to me. I'm not really familiar enough with Tokais to have educated opinion on country of manufacture - but my MIJ Talbo reissue (from 2000-ish) doesn't state a country of manufacture anywhere, so the same may be the case for the Fender copies. So, mid/late 90s APB32, from where I'm sitting. Unless anyone else knows different... Jon. [/quote] I had a fender clone with a date decode able sn. Made in 1990 so I disagrer

Id say relatively recent as the headstock isn't very fender All the older jap ones I saw were very fender

Fender acoustics strings are cheap and work well Edit : phosphor bronze not steel
