Wow is that tight string spacing! What was/is the thinking behind it? I like tighter string-spacing and 16.8mm to 17mm is the spacing I enjoy on my main basses.

What is this basses sound like?

Thanks.

The bass sounds great! The p-pickup is a little louder than the j-pickup, so I usually turn the volume on the j up all the way and blend in the p. The string spacing is tight, but would be good for pick players.

If that thing's still here at noon tomorrow, I'll be amazed.
