ZPQ Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm not sure I have the funds - need to get a new clutch on the car this week :-( but how is it to play? I'm wondering how you would rate the difficulty in moving from normal bass to EUB? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi John. The scale length on the Pace is 35" so its only an inch longer than a standard Fender. I find it much easier to play than my double bass or my NS-CR5M because of the shorter scale length and lower string height. The stock strings that came on it didn't do it any favours, but once I put the Thomastik Infeld Jazz flats on it (the same as I use on my Fenders) it plays very nicely and the strings seem to mellow out the sound as well. I seem to remember making the transition from playing a Fender jazz to playing the Pace was a lot easier than I had expected. I think I played my first gig with it two weeks after buying it. cheers Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPQ Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks. I'm starting to think of way to find the money.... not sure if my current gigs would allow me to use one, but I'd love to try. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
