I tried the Abel and it is going back. The base has a slight rounded edge so the clamp doesn't have enough contact to establish a firm grip. When it stays it is great, but it comes off too easily. Oh well, it was worth a try. Time to put my thinking cap while I'm looking at the 3d printer....

These are very popular among acoustic guitar players, its actually the best in class. Acoustic guitars have a sharp edge that diggs into the arm and some, especially folks who have being playing for decades, complain about tingling and other nerve related issues. I picked up classical guitar 2...

I'd give this a try before irreveesible modding Invalid Link Removed I use the it (different size) on classical guitar and it's awesome. The Gibson is 45mm, i pulled the trigger on it. I'll update this thread when it arrives with my pictures etc

Not bad at all! I just saw that too. I tried a used C9 at gc the other day, it was beautiful. I loved the neck profile and the sound was huge but not boomy. Good finish too. There are 3 sub-models of the c9, i am not sure what it was.

Cordoba C9 for 700?!?!?! May I ask where? Good luck with the sale - this bass looks sweet.

Here are Daddario ECB81S, short flatwounds, on a 28.6" Jackson Minion.

Hi. I have an old fretless Fernandes that I picked up here on tb classifieds last year. I had to considerably I raise the action otherwise it buzzed a lot, almost like a double bass height. It has a wonderful sound and it is same vintage year as I so I am holding on to it. But the double bass...

Thank you for the replies folks! I feel better now :) It was indeed for my son, he is 9 and started on a Squier Jaguar Affinity H, but 32" is too much for his hand size. I didn't want to start a return after its here already, especially if there is no reason. I didn't know about scarf joints...

Hi, I just had a Jackson Minion delivered. The low E open is blurry and very little fret buzz out of the box, mostly gone with a little bit of tuning the saddles height. What bugs me is I see 2 grain patterns on the neck, which look odd - like it was not from one block of wood rather 2 blocks...

Hi, With most basses I have tried/owned, sympathetic vibration was not a big issue. The exception was a 5 string G&L L 2500 (which I no longer have). At the time I thought it was a tight-spaced-5-thing. I have a Squier Affinity Jazz, and there it is rather pronounced, that I have to use muting...

What exactly is the issue with the main body of the string wrapping around the post? Is it a flatwound issue?

Hi, I am thinking of picking up either Squier Mini or Jackson Minion for my kid. He is 9, and the 32" Squier Affinity Jazz, while a pretty good on its own, is a bit hard for the stretch of his hand. I had put Ernie Ball Flats on it and it made a big improvement. Those were 34" scale and they git...

So I was trying it today with that little gadget, fender mustang micro. When plugged directly to the bass and feeding into the mac a usb input it was pretty bad. I then switched to using an instrument cable (Male-female) and things improved. But without the pc and fender micro, rather plugged...

Question to fellow Les Paul Jr DC owners: I am picking up a fair amount of static that goes away when I touch the strings, as my practice area is very noisy (2 laptops, screens etc). It looks like I would need to shield the pickup cavity etc - did you do that project as well?

thank you for the tip!
