Thanks so much! I’ll be playing and playing this bass a lot. I’m not used to a J bass and my right (plucking) hand needs to get used to finding the neck pickup when I go to the E. I guess it will come in time. The tone of this bass is great! Thanks for the compliment.Beautiful Bass and Rumble Rig!! Very nice!!
Yep. No questions asked. The staff there is very accommodating and friendly/helpful. I am fortunate enough to be close enough to visit that place. They have 12,000 guitars/basses in house... amazing!
Thanks Linnin... it’s great to hear that from you. I have followed your posts for advice and direction on several things. Most recently, your review of the GHS Pressurewounds. I know that was kind of a dated post. I ordered some that I will be putting on my Squier PJ. Just ordered GHS Precision Flats for the 60s J. I went with the “Regular” gauge (45-105), hoping there isn’t an issue with the G string fitting in the nut slot. I have never played flats before, so I thought they would go great on a J.
Great point. Going to try that out tomorrow.I'm one of them!
because you can actually hear it on top. No ears in your ankles. I have found with the 410 on top all you hear is the 10s. The 115 on top will actually project more into the room and give you broader midrange dispersion.
What are the calls concerning... follow ups?I should have asked you to tell them to stop calling me
Hmmm... strange. I have been a customer of theirs for the last 10 years or so and never got a cold call. Only follow-ups on recent purchases. Glad you stopped the cold-calling. That can get very annoying!
I've been getting so many Robocalls lately that I don't answer any unidentified number. If it's legit, they'll leave a message, I'll call back and tell them I was in the 'rain locker'.
Yes... easiest way to avoid “unwanted” calls. Just because the phone rings doesn’t mean you have to answer it!
This is gonna sound really weird but I have the phone for MY convenience. Sheesh.
Well, I am an 'olde phart' and...HEY! Get outta my driveway!
As it states in my 'sig', I'm #228 in the 'Get off my lawn "Grumpy Old Farts" club'.
Answer it anyway.
With the "robo" calls I've been getting, it's a recording programmed to respond to responses b4 it turns you over to a (foreign) person. If I do get a person, I tell them "just a minute, I gotta get a pen and paper". Then I go make breakfast.
Thank you @Kipp Harrington, that's very kind of you to say. GHS Pressurewounds haven't changed, so it doesn't matter how dated my review becomes it is still just as fresh and accurate as the day I wrote it.
The same can be said of my review of GHS Precision Flats except that GHS has tweaked the E string to make it better straight out of the pack. Don't worry about your nut slots as the stock Fender nut can accommodate a much heavier 55-110 set without any modification.
