Mottlefeeder Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) I bought a set of TI jazz flats and found that I don't like them. They are the JF345 long-scale 5-string set and I paid £51 (including postage) for them from Stringbusters. Would anyone like to take them off my hands for £35 posted? They have been cut to fit a 35 inch scale Yamaha, and each string goes beyond the tuning post by about 4 inches (5 inches on the B). The ball-to-end lengths are now: B = 44 inches E = 44 inches A = 45.5 inches D = 45 inches G = 43 inches David Edited March 13, 2013 by Mottlefeeder
Mottlefeeder Posted August 6, 2012 Author Posted August 6, 2012 [quote name='ScottBass86' timestamp='1344242629' post='1761506'] How much use have these had? [/quote] They have been on the bass twice, and hardly played on either occasion - probably less than an hour in total. When they arrived, I fitted them, tried them, left the bass to settle after I adjusted the truss rod, tried them again the following evening, and then put my old strings back on. A few weeks ago i went through the same process, but included having the bass checked out and set up by a local luthier, who confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, or the strings. The background to this is covered on another bass forum [url="http://www.finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=8878"]http://www.finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=8878[/url] , but the short version is that because of problems witjh my hands, I no longer play much below fret 5, but I don't like some of the harmonics that start to appear on B and E strings at fret 8-10 and above. I had hoped that flatwounds would cure the problem, but they don't. BTW the bass is a fretless, even though I am referring to fret positions David
