I know this has been covered and I’ve been reading posts but I have specific questions that I’d appreciate your views. Best flats for string through mustangs id like: low tension not sticky good low end I’ve had 3 mustangs before - ah make that 4 with a Squier (actually 5 but sent one back due to poor QC)- but I’ve used TI flats in nearly all of them apart from first one a 66 which I had deep talking flats which were too stiff. And the TI coating makes them sticky - love TIs on 34” So what I’m asking is - would you got for La Bella MUS or LFTs - which are lower tension (guessing LFT but can they be strung through) or maybe another brand like Pyramid? Cheers 🍻

Up for grabs superb AO series Jazz bass in lovely nitro candy apple red nitro. It’s a lovely looking thing! The pick ups pure 64s are only available in this bass and the Flea bass- and arent available to buy i believe - but they are probably the best I've ever experienced, very articulate, precise but warm and fulsome. I had guitar tech pal- sand the neck down to bare (as the nitro was sticky and still had poss 5 more years to fully cure) then lightly oiled, so smoooooth - the neck is a hard maple with a lovely deep dark rosewood, with slightly chunkier feel than most jazzes i've played - the radius isn't original though it's a more comfy 9.25 than the 7.5 of the 60s basses with tall narrow frets in great condition. Set up with new TI flats with nice low action. Reverse gear tuners, hootenanny button Weight is approx 9.5lbs - i have no scales but have had multiple 4 hour rehearsals on a strap and never felt too heavy - hell if you're nice to me i'll thrown in the 3" wide strap i bought for this Comes with all the case candy and spare mint green guard had made for it - but no original case - for shipping i have a funky vintage green fur lined wooden case (please note this is for shipping and free as one of the hinges has loose screws) or can add Gator Transit case in tan that fits it like a glove for £50 - will advertise it separately for £70 There has been a repair to slight ding on lower bout in pic and very faint - apart from the looks and sounds amazing Selling to recoup money from a vintage bass purchase Prefer you to come play it in clitheroe or meet up north west or west yorks, but can ship for £30 insured to UK only - very sensible offers considered can be seen sort of here iphone sound through borrowed amp

Firm price final drop I love this bass but why am i selling it - it's because i have sausage fingers and this has a narrow 16mm string spacing - still very playable but just prefer wider Apart from that it sounds superb and as a glassy neck that's the fastest i've ever had, effortless McCartney/Byrds tones - warm woody thump. I took this and an MIA Pro P Bass to a studio session and used this on 7 out of 8 tunes - can here it here (Back out on the Run is the only P Bass track) https://greenhorses.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-milkshed Blurb: Number 40 of only 75 made (or might be 70) comes with Chris Hillman signed certificate of ownership. Signed on the trust rod cover. Byrds logo inlay at 12 fret.. Awesome Bisonic pup, 8.5lbs but feels way lighter compared to my J bass which is 9.5lbs, for a short scale 30 3/4 inch with big body it feels more like a full scale bass at 46" in total length. Bone nut. cream binding, arched laminated maple in beautiful sunburst. Strung with D'addario flats and set up by my guitar tech pal so has a super low action with no fret buzz or dead spots. Can be seen here It does not have the case but i have a padded gig bag that fits perfectly and sturdy box for UK shipping at £25 - or meet up in North West/ West Yorks - i'd be happier if you came and played it if you can. Sale only please no trades

UPDATE No it's not - it's hardened over the weekend and isnt suitable now!
-
Yes the bass gods stepped in and all fares well!
-
Just done first gig with it. Yep love it!
-
Yes used to do that but with this i have torn the fabric more toward D and G and then hidden under ashtray - means on all the time but suits my sound for what i do 🙂
-
wouldnt say exactly clean but has a short decay to length of the note which is what i want in muting but still some clarity
-
Not whole sponge just about an inch off it
-
Not the whole sponge just a 3/4inch strip approximately
-
I vote TI Flats or La Bella LTF

Bought this today and stuck under the strings on my jazz then cut into it where strings indented it. Then I slightly pulled it apart ahd kept doing so until the tension on the strings became light and it sounds great. less mutey than a Nordy and hidden under my ashtray - gigging it Friday PVA sponge - mailable and smells like Playdoh £2.90!
