Blue [/quote] I'm 26, not a big Jaco fan but can listen to him/Weather Report for hours, days. Too many notes for my liking but interesting and inspiring nevertheless.

I have no clue, but I like your idea and I'm curious to find out how will you figure it out.

2 four strings. One P and one P/J.

[quote name='DJpullchord' timestamp='1506782060' post='3381099'] I do star jumps in the car park. [/quote] I was wondering what that guy in the car park was up to :-)

Sounds like the action is too low somewhere. Set it up as the other basses :-)

As long as it works, I don't care. I'm a little different with my bicycle. It hurts when it gets scratched (mainly from being hit with a small rock from the road). When the scratch is already there - doesn't bother me.

[quote name='wzz890831' timestamp='1506679898' post='3380347'] I might have same problem, only on my Sandberg TM2. Only happens when I am using dunlop super bright string (was buy one get one free, so I bought 5 sets), it sounds like dead string. But when I put roto string on it, the problem gone, back to another set of dunlop, same sh*t happen. There was a video (by overwater?) says if u got fender-ish bass, do not cut A string when changing string, but doesn't work on my Sandberg. Just my story, hope someone can explain this, I don't play my sandberg much but this made me crazy. [/quote] I don't know what strings were on it when I got it, but definitely different to the other ones I had on the Cimar. I don't get it, the string was cut - bass was fine and the after little truss rod tweak - it goes funny. I usually don't cut the strings at all unless necessary. Now I've put a set of flats on and it's all good. If it's really a dead string - maybe it's the inner core that slipped. But why is it an A string every time? And also, there was a tip somewhere about bending the end of the string with pliers to prevent the core slipping. Which was done on that set and it went funny anyway.

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1506670900' post='3380245'] It sounds like what you're hearing here is a stronger fundamental on the A string than the other strings. Generally speaking the dominant sound of a bass guitar string is the first harmonic which is an octave above the fundamental. Not sure why this would be though. Can you provide a link to an audio clip? [/quote] I wish I could, I don't have any recording devices at the moment though. I'll try to put the same strings on different bass and see what's up. Odd

So. It happened to me second time. First time - I ignored it and changed the strings to a new set. This is a second time and I need an explanation. If anyone could kindly provide that - would be greatly appreciated. First time it happened, it was a Cimar P Bass - I've put a set of pretty much new Rotosound rounds on. Tuned it and... the A string is octave lower(?) it indicates "A" on the tuner and the tension is ok but it sounds octave lower. Now, today - it's a P/J bass and I only took the neck off to adjust the truss rod a little and it happened again. And it's an A string too! What is the reason behind it? I feel really dumb...

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1506403117' post='3378414'] Oh well, if you're gonna put a marriage before a bass purchase ...... [/quote] I wouldn't, but we've established that you can't argue with maths :-)

Met with Mark to trade ESP basses. Great guy, lovely playing, relaxed. I wish I could stay longer for a chat. I have a P/J ESP and he's got a Jazz one :-) Thank you Mark

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1506312850' post='3377769'] The Law of Bass n = B + 1 n is optimal number of basses B is number of basses currently owned. You can't argue the maths [/quote] Or D - 1 "D" being the amount of basses that gets you divorced.

I won't be able to be there tomorrow. We're moving houses and things are not going as smooth as expected... I don't think I've ever cancelled something on such a short notice. I'm very sorry, I hope you all have fun :-) Next time...

Very cool. Mateusz does a good job when it comes to vintage guitars. I bought a bass off him few years back and it was (still is) perfect. Who would be able to distinguish the Fresher and Fernandes from all the Fenders? I think they sound equally good if not better.

Have you noticed the action on that bass? Wow
