I put La Bella 750N set on mine, and I wish I had gone with 760N instead, since I'm getting strange high-pitched harmonics even when just plucking strings normally (I had posted about it in the forums before with audio clips examples). I don't know if going heavier gauge will solve the problem...

Can someone solve a mystery for me regarding a Mustang bass? I recently bought my 4th Mustang PJ, but its pickups are not at all what I thought they would sound like. For context, I had a limited-edition Mustang (in Myst Seafoam) from Adorama a few years ago (I think it was an Offset model?)...

The only reason I care at all is if I need to resell the instrument, otherwise unless it's a highly visible and ugly mark, I just don't care that much.

But that's an affectation, not required movements to play the instrument.

There are many songs (especially outside of the conventional rock genre) where a guitar wouldn't fit into the arrangement, but there are very few songs where a bass wouldn't fit, so logistically if you play bass, you can fit into far more songs than if you played guitar. Bass is a lot more...
