Shockwave Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 So, i may have concluded that Musicmans are again, not for me. I cant get on with the narrow string spacing, but i love the Musicman sound! So i am after a 34" 5 string with maple fingerboard and Musicman pup (at the musicman sweetspot) Any ideas guys? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Foster Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'm fairly ignorant on this area, but would Sandberg be able to cater for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I didnt think the strings were narrow when I tested a Ray 5.....but a Warwick 5 Streamer $$ I tried had REALLY tight spacing. I did a lot of research on 5 strings, and everyone I asked with a Musicman 5 said it just becomes second nature after a while. I tried a few Laklands down the line (they have WIDDDEEE spacing) I think they would be an idea for you...but they are 35" and no MM pups im afraid. I say keep at it with the MM spacing, youll get used to it. Sandberg might be an idea. The problem is, nothing sounds like a MM to me, at all. No Humbucker seems the same and no pre...if you want the MM tone dead on its gonna have to be a MM...IMO. Sorry I cant help...keep at it with the Bongo! Id love a Bongo....one day.
