Bass snobbery , well I only buy US fenders so I suppose yes , but I also have a Kay and I nearly bought a sue Ryder P bass, so not sure what that makes me 🤔
If they still sound good to you then no, all that happens to flats is that they mellow with time and get smoother , I prefer them like that but some like them to sound brighter
The V4 drops a really nice reggae tone too, that’s why I’ve held on to mine, I have the treble fully off , mids on 10 o clock, bass on 2 o clock and the ultra low on , simple eq and it sounds great
I’ve always used 15’s with no problem whatsoever and I still do , but I nervously took the plunge and bought a barefaced big baby 2 , not expecting it to have enough low end for me, I was completely wrong, for a 112 it really puts out some bass
I mainly play fenders so bolt on for me, I also have a really low action so if the bass doesn’t go low enough a shim has to be added, which is not possible with a neck through
Some of the CS bodies aren’t too bad ,but it’s what they do with the back of the neck I don’t like, I’ve seen some that are almost black to make them look worn, it instantly puts me off buying it
I’ve been looking at some 1960s precision’s lately and I know the neck size changed from a C to a B in 67 , are all the C neck’s 44mm , was there any variation ? , I’m ok with anything up to 42 so I’m wondering if the 44 will be too much
