Hey RG, well Peter can introduce himself, Peter H Bower, he's probably our most experienced MB1 user.
Yeah a sort scale will be easier to play but the long scales sound better (from my experience), but a Squire Jaguar would probably work for me (at the cheap end)
Sorry Godzilla, I did my best LoL.
I'm a bit with SC here (hey not that I'm a soldering expert, patching sure no worries
bring it on...) but the higher temps (and 2mm chisel tips) get it done quickly (obviously line up your ducks first). I'm all for lead solder, the lead free adds complications, I can't say I hate it (as I haven't used it) but I take MJMPs advice on this one. I just checked my iron temp, I've got it at 350c for soldering leads, which works well and is quick so if that's as high as your iron can go I'd proffer it's quite usable.
Wow, the ravioli club, cool I like ravioli
and thanks Tomy, when the MB1s arrive I'll certainly lean on you're experience
. Upside is I have a 5 string Musicman sub that lives at my place, now that's not a bad start. Moreover it's just had new strings delivered
which I'll no doubt put on and set up
though my bass player may want to attempt this himself.
I'm thinking I'd like an Alembic but lets see where it goes. I'd love to get back the bass I made (way back when) for a friend, straight thru neck sugar maple, Maton EB4 body shape, maple wings, ebony FB, 33" custom scale (out with the protractor etc), Fender Jazz neck dimensions, nice bass.
