This has been really really bugging me. I'm going to fix it on my own bass I got recently from Fender that has this configuration but I can't think of a time when I'm ever up 50-50 on both pickups on my J-Bass, why would Fender lock me into just this? I see YouTubers are almost always on my...

Look man, if you don't tell the fuzz then no one goes to jail. This is in your hands.

It's perfect, definitely a bit over saturated but not sticky

Honestly I'm finding 4-6 hours is max that my brain cares about and that's the real limiting factor. At 10PM my fingers are just like "f your triads and especially f 150 bpm" and it's not a pain or muscle thing. My music mind keeps going and I can't get the fingers to keep going heh. Looks like...

Absolutely! This only furthers me wanting to push it towards the drums. I started classical guitar when I was really little (didn't take far at all) so I have a decent theory and chord background from that which has helped tremendously. I really really want to bang on the drums but the...

For some reason I can see Geddy Lee behind this guitar. Amazing job. Edit: This explains it, close enough!

Traded in a 2004 MIM 5 J-Bass for this bad boy, picked it up last week. Coincidentally my daughter picked the P90 Mustang and I found the exact same color way for $450 (steal!) on Facebook, used.

So briefly, I'm a really intense guy. I have a history of tackling complex things in short periods of time. I'm old enough now to know that's a poor formula for music. That being said I've been letting it happen with the bass in recent months (8+ hours per day) and my fingers/hands are starting...

Nah, it's like way worse but I tell you what, playing bass helps a ton. I'm a bass player and I don't know if not having the bass in my life contributed to such things or if having it in my life alleviates its, doesn't matter. Really just wanted to say the bass will be fine as long as it's...

I had children and didn't have enough time to play bass so I go depressed and stopped playing bass all together. Because I didn't plan that, I did exactly nothing for long term storage for my MIM J-Bass 5, it was even exposed to bad temps/humidity and 20 years later I traded it in for $450 value...

I think @KenB is right, "too much" wasn't "too much" at all. It was borderline too much. Strap is great. It's like the pre-broken in Fender ones now for $12 + conditioner. Highly recommend that if you like a strap and its just stiff to save the money, buy it and beat the poopie out of it then...

So you're saying my strap is permanently saturated in saturated sperm oil and that's a good thing, got it.

Something about it being leather. An animal lived and gave its life so I could have a guitar over my shoulder, which, probably deserves a conversation in and of itself. The least I could do is try and treat said product with respect before I throw it out without spending, what? 5 minutes to make...

$12 was the reason for the lesson to begin with, the time invested is worth seeing it through, quite honestly. As far as I can tell from web searches the worst thing that's happened is I've shortened its lifespan by clogging the pores prematurely. None of this answers where to move on from...

Yes, the ape is stupid. How to clean up after is the question :)
