Only one cure. KB player needs to learn to play in a band that has a bass player. Absolutely stay away from lower register chords, ply only 2 to 3 not chords with left hand and only few large chords with the right hand. It's all about playing your part only and let the music breathe. The problem...

I find that you never get the true sound of any bass unless you are playing it in good acoustic situations. My band mostly play in bars with horrible acoustics. Cement floors, tin walls, no carpeting and sound bouncing around hard surfaces. Even with that, my elite sounds better than normal I...

I'm not trying to argue but I own the bass and I took the batteries out and set them on my coffee table, plugged the bass into my practice amp and played away without batteries in it. The fender rep needs to learn more about his product or maybe he should go to work for another company. Him...

I don't have a back up bass any more. I used to have a AM P bass as back up but sold it. I'm getting close to retiring my music bc of back and knee problems so I sold most of my music equip. When I bought this bass, i was actually looking for a light Ibanez but I seen this thin hanging on the...

Couldn't have been said better!

Hogwash!!!

I'm a bassist. Have the same terrible problem. I hear the dessinance in every song we do. He doesn't hear it so it doesn' bother him. (Solution) play a lot of chords, wrong chords, play out of tune and make him miserable as he makes you them ask him how does it feel. I'm close to quitting the...
