    Do I Own the Lightest Music Man Stingray???

    Four or five string? How does it balance? Any detectable neck dive? Cheers. - - - - - My back is badly comromised but sub 8# basses don't feel right, somehow.

    Help, Should I buy it?

    I'd check for truss rod rattle. It can create a buzzing noise if it is loose in its cavity. Certain frequencies will set it buzzing. Potential issues: Fretwear. High frets. Nut-slot height too low. Slipping tuners. Scratchy pots. Loose input jack. Neck dive.

    There is a club for Trickfish users. It is a good source for info.

    Is a cheap Jazz Bass worth it?

    The J in the previous post is gorgeous!! Also, a Squire is something that you can try. A Harley Benton can be an amazing deal when you get a good one! Either a Squire or an HB will keep you from spending in excess.

    Help, Should I buy it?

    You are gambling when you buy a bass online. Do you value playability over looks? If you find usability/ergonomic issue(s), these can sour you on even the best looking instrument. JIC, make sure you can return it. Lollar is a very well respected pickup manufacturer. Lollars tend to be vintage...

    NBD - Sandberg California Ida Nielsen 4

    Did Sandberg redesign the bridge or did they change to a lighter material? I liked the 'old' design.

    The perfect bass line?

    J.J. played the bass with his whole body funnelled into a single digit. He used two fingers to smoke. 😁

    I am afraid to say which one is the best, someone might steal it.

    Can”t hear any bass at live shows anymore

    I had a similar exerience in a large venue in Toronto. Duran² opened for David Bowie. The were an hour late starting and their sound was a wall of mud. I couldn't hear John Taylor's white Kubicki at all. I got really unhappy because the sound didnt improve as the show wore on. I'm glad I...
