Here’s some science: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/waynesworld/2015/binaural-loudness-summation/

https://blog.judyrodman.com/2012/07/in-ear-monitors-dont-use-just-one.html#:~:text=So this loud sound coming,than using none at all.” Not sure about the science behind it, but it is generally considered poor practice.

I had a matching pair. They sound epic!

I believe the pickups were different between Mk I and Mk II versions as well. The pics shown are from a Mk I.

I gave it a listen. Tried to like it but……..meh. Beatles fan, but probably best left on original cassette.

^^^^^ This works for me as well.

I liken a P bass to a pair of well worn slippers. I’ve tried loads of other basses, but nothing works for me quite like a Precision. Fretted and fretless - I love them.

I’ve always been impressed with Jaz Lochrie’s fretless playing. Expressive and always in the groove. A different style is Johann Asmundsson, who has held the bass role in jazz/funk band Mezzoforte for decades. Also a great fretless player.

You won’t be sorry. Very musical strings, especially on fretless.

The necks on Lakland 5 string basses I find to be superb. The most comfortable ones out there for me.

Me thinks it’s a faker too.

Another satisfied Warnex user here. Not cheap, but has a more industrial vibe going on compared to some DIY alternatives.

Changing the dot side-marker positions is certainly doable for somebody competent at DIY. It also gives you the chance to install Luminlay (glow in the dark) side markers, which can be helpful on dark stages. Of course, a luthier will do a top job as well.

Overrated: slap, slap, slap Underrated: fretless

I agree that Fender actually made a pretty good line of basses with the Dimension, but the purists just wouldn’t recognise an attempt at change within the big “F”. Here’s one of mine:

Overated: many heavy boutique basses Underated: Several modern CNC mass-produced instruments

And, if it is a secondhand item the value placed on it at point of entry (destination) may not always be what you paid for it………especially if the local Customs believe that it has been undervalued in order to reduce import charges.

You might want the side marker dots to be reflective (e.g. Luminlay). This will help you on dark stages when eye-balling the markers can get tricky. As you progress your ears will be the only markers that you rely on.

You may laugh, but Harley Benton flats may be worth a punt if you are experimenting. Price/performance is pretty good. I was surprised after having tried a whole bunch of name-brand flats. However, my favourites on a P bass are GHS Precision Flats.
