If you don't mind ordering online, try Just Strings dot com (follow link below). They have the D'Addario flats for something like $28.00. BTW, you can use the flatwounds on a fretted bass as well. My whole collection is strung with flatwounds, save for my Schecter and my Ibanez acoustic. Just...

I'm using the ECB81 strings on my ZON Sonus and the SX fretless jazz. I currently also have a set of these on my Squier Bronco, but have ordered a set of the short scale version (ECB81S) for it. I'm running Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats (JF-344) on my Mahogany L-2000, and as mentioned previously...

Thanks for the reply. Hmm, they aren't too expensive, maybe I'll pick one up and try 'cause they sure look sweet! I found the D'Addario XL Chromes flats to be very reasonable, roughly $30.00 or so at Sam Ash or GC. For expensive, try Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats. The last set I bought cost me...

Me, I'm a tinkerer, a hacker by trade. Whether it be cars, motorcycles, guitars, computers, or even my cell phone, I love to personalize. Although I could probably have gotten away with just changing the electronics out, the bass has been made so much nicer with the bridge replacement. I get...

I beg to differ. I'm the one who started this thread, and my fretless jazz clone SX bass is comfortably wearing a Quan Badass II nickel bridge. I had no problems with high action. I'm wondering if your particular bass may have had the neck pocket routed too deeply. That would cause the symptom...

This little Epi is pretty close in dimensions to the '70s Epi that I have. It's one damn nice guit-fiddle!

So you don't go poking into the closet between now and XMAS, you could just have it sent to my house and I'll keep it under raps for you until Santa time! Just kidding. Anyway, you may have to check it out very well. I'd recommend at least a couple of weeks, just to make certain that there are...

I've played both of the Vintage Modified Squier Jazz basses, and unfortunately, I was not highly impressed. The fretless model did not either feel or sound as nice as my SX. It sure looked nice in all of its "Jaco" trim (lined fretless, burst finish, no pickguard), but it did not deliver the...

Us Irish Catholics are actually *well* known for it! If it weren't for Irish Catholics, Guiness would probably have never been heard of outside the Emerald Isle. :D :D :D

Hmm, sounds like a phone call would be in order...

I took a bunch of pictures of my bass collection the other day. I tried to add a couple to a post here, but they were too big. Anyway, I have uploaded them to the "Photos" section of the Yahoo Group, Bass Players. I believe that this is public, so you should be able to find them by following the...

Wow M29, I just came across this post. Beautiful job on the cabinet. Same goes for the strat/'51 leaning against it. You have a combo to really be proud of. While reading through your posts, a couple of ideas came to mind. I noticed that you used a lot of automotive supplies in your work. When...

Yep voodoo, right place, right time.

Damn Spud, now I'm gonna have to go out and by a Trombone to "one up" you!!! :D :cool: :D

Sweet! And then there was Jose Feliciano... Flight of the Bumblebee

The Epi is made by Gibson, so, 'nuff said. Like with Gibson, I've heard good Epi's and bad Epi's. The Agile seems nice, but there's nothing "different." I do like the double cut bod on the PRS. I'd want to play it. The Rev? Well, first off, three, count 'em, THREE P90's! This guitar just sounds...

WideAwake, I know what you're saying with the matte finish. My Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 has a matte finish, and it too is getting a shiny spot where my arm comes over the edge. That's a sweet looking Strat. From what I've heard, some folks prefer the HW1's finish, saying that it lets more of...

Yeah, I know what you're saying there. I just cannot personally justify it at present. I've got the Bronco bass to rework, and I just recently brought the ZON and Ibanez basses home, so I need to keep it low profile for now. It is tempting though! Anyway, amplification upgrades are my next...

Nothin' to it! Keep comin' back. Do you have an HW1? I can't speak for the Strat, but the Jazz bass is quite an instrument for the bucks.

Hmm, WideAwake? That is exactly what Katastrophe originally stated, and you quote, if you will take a moment to reread his post. He states that the HW1 is "a relatively decent value for a 'Merican (not Mexican) made Strat." Yes, the Highway One series is American made. I almost laid down money...
