Hi

Hello and thanks for letting me join,
I headed here as was searching for a rattling part on my new Squier Affinity PJ
I just took the bass again recently as mainly I have been playing guitar when I was younger but even that had a very long pause and picked up about three years ago.

I bought an Ibanez GSR180 Pearl Blue last summer but sent it back as the neck was a bit too chunky for my short fingers and then I waited until few weeks ago to pick my new PJ. I quiet like it, the neck is a lot more playable, thinner than a p bass, probably in between the P and the Jazz. Sound is not bad considering the price and I am modelling it via VST's anyway.

It has been a lot of fun so far, I feel that bass if filling my soul in places where the guitar wasn't able too and I am jamming a lot on Jamulus since lockdown and a lot people are even complimenting me for sounding like I play bass since much loinger.
I havent resolved the rattling pad of the tuning peg, I think a bump somwhere must have take it off place but I will search more.
Keep playing and thanks again.
