Leak? Squier Paranormal Rascal Bass HH

[klattman]

Yep the pickups are crazy hot. You have to massively adjust your gain staging and/or put something with cut in front of the gain stage

The active bass pad helps if you are going straight into an amp that has one. If find that without that even zero gain in the preamp section is too much

Incase folks are still looking for a case for theirs… this Crossrock case is perfect and so far really nice. Have had it a couple days so hopefully it holds up.

Which crossrock case model? It seems the CRW720B is marginally bigger than the other “fits fender” options so I assume that was the one you showed based on the photos above. Thanks!

That’s exactly what it is. And I got the OG (olive green) colourway

Can I join the club? It definitely needs a white pearloid pickguard

Mint green also looks banging on Candy Apple Red

Yes! A white pearl pickguard makes it look so good!

Personally I like black with CAR but Pearl will be great as well.

I took some time this weekend to shield my Rascal with copper tape. Putting it back together, I noticed something odd…

The set screws for the knobs are in completely different locations on the knobs. One is noticeably higher than the other. Weird.

Anyone else have this?

What have you found the weights of these basses to be? I'm interested in owning one, but not if it's pushing 10 lbs.

I dont know the exact weight mine was but I know it was over 9 lbs. it was comfortable enough to play but it did not play like a short scale bass at all.

 

[Justyn Brando]

Mine's a little over 9lbs as well. Feels like a full scale with the ease of a short scale neck.

Don't forget the slightly reduced weight of replacing with lightweight tuners to try and counter the serious neck dive factor !!

I just threw labella gold flats “ Stang” strings on mine and they are great.

Do not try regular gold flats as they won’t like the break angles at the bridge or wrapping around the posts.

The stang strings fit perfectly and since they are designed for string-through they install fine.

Yeah I run the standard mustang flats, I didn't realize they made a gold version.
