you have no idea how happy you've just made me :thumbsup:

Before I get bombarded with "use the search" comments, I've looked. I just gotta simple question Im moving from one side of the country to the other. Ive got a nice hard shell case and its set up with low tension thomastik flats. Is it necessary to loosen the strings? I think I know the...

im pretty sure "glad I had my P-Bass" is a passage in the bible anyway. Fitting it be the saviour in a church service.

I was just as surprised and then some. I'm not sure if its just mine or a general characteristic. I don't mind a heavier bass but, I once owned a tele that weighed 12 pounds and that was my limit :blackeye:

Plays great. If you ever get a chance to pick one up I highly recommend them. The neck is really nice, a bit thinner than I was expecting but its still wide enough at the nut to not feel wimpy. definitely on the heavier side, weighing in at 10.1 pounds. The main thing I was surprised at was...

A 1982 Fender 62 JV serial precision. Very nice. If any of you are eBay fiends this will be the one you saw. Cricket Wicket Bass stand is patent pending :smug:

Nope :laugh: But I was surprised to see them at my local store and figured they had a good reputation so I would give them a shot.

Thanks for the response. I'm new to TI's and they definitely sound A LOT brighter new than La Bellas. Comforting to know they will even out.

heres a Photo if that helps. Dont be afraid to tell me this is normal and I'm stupid, thats good news. Something just doesnt seem right.

So I recently purchased some JF344's as a change to my usual light gauge la bellas. However I noticed that the E and A strings are significantly brighter than the D and G strings. I know there is a break in period for flats, but all things considered they are still significantly brighter. Is...

I'd 100% buy it even at 400. I if it's working fine why not, plus you get the cool story for free. :thumbsup:
