I just bought a new American Fender Mustang. The strings that came on it are not as clear and crisp as I would like, the E string in particular. Is this inherent to the short scale? Any suggestions on strings that might provide a cleaner sound?
Does anyone have experience with the Fender Rascal Bass? Any idea a fair price for a used one? I play upright, semi-pro, but sometimes I'm in a very small area and need a small bass. Mostly classic rock and country.
Some guitar players tune a half step down. Is it bad for my strings if I often tune down the half step and then tune back up when playing with normal people? I'm using D'Addario Helicore medium.
