TheGreek Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I've seen a couple recently, both under £2k. A lot of bass, even for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTB Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Quicl pic as I am now doing dinner for my family. I haven’t even played it apart from 5 minutes in shop. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Yeah....very interesting bass, but the pickups look small, like single coils. Are they really humbuckers? Yamaha page say they are hb, but the sound? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTB Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 They are stacked humbuckers like Fender noiseless strat pickups, which I actually don’t like much I prefer a traditional strat single coil and have swapped mine out, but as far as these go they are perfect, but that is only my opinion. I like noiseless on a bass, not too bothered on a strat, but then my bass playing is better than my guitaring lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTB Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 I noticed a strange vibration from the E and B saddles yesterday. I was really tired and in a lot of pain so I put the bass away. I tried a fresh E string today and it was the same. Very annoying on a bass of the price. I noticed the saddle was very slightly higher one side than the other so I levelled them both and it seems to have fixed it most of the time. Anyone else had this issue with this bass or bass fitted with this bridge please? If so what is the fix? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason was that the saddle wasn’t compressing the spring and the spring would make a sound. Easy fix once identified (and not Fenders fault!)

DTB Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 yes i thought it was exactly that, but I don’t think it is. If i press down on top of the string where it passes over the saddle it doesn’t do it. I resettled the string into the saddle with a bit of pressure and a wiggle of the string and it sorted it for a while. Almost as if there isn’t enough break angle from the anchor point to the saddle for the B and E strings. The action is set incredibly low and the neck has the tiniest bit of relief. It is obviously set up for a player with a very light touch. I always give myself a few hours playing a new instrument before jumping in with lots of radical set up changes in case I like it the way it is or sounds worse when I alter it. The set up reminds me of my Geddy Lee bass I had when I was working. I will try a new set of strings over the next few days. I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a problem bass.
