Banana boxes are best packing boxes.

The G FORCE tuners are a bit flaky and feel cheap when tuning on my own. And it needs to retune too often. I do like the alternate tuning selections though. So we'll see before I swap that out. It might just be the new, stock strings.

This is the LP I've been waiting for. Then it was on backorder for a month. Loooong month. It pairs well with my black Ovation.

Make sure you stretch the strings really well but stock strings are always a mess because they've been under multiple temperatures, from the air conditioned factory to hot 18 wheelers, warehouses, UPS trucks, etc.

Also, with new guitars, I always clean the fingerboards with WD40, especially on the fret edges. Every manufacturer dyes rosewood fingerboards and the excess will end up on your fingers and strings for months if you don't clean it up.

I use Ernie Ball 10-52's tuned down a half step with Tone Pros Locking Tune-a-matic and Grover Locking tuners on all my Gibson style guitars. Once the strings have been properly stretched, they never, ever go out of tune, even if I don't play them for months. I pull them out of my guitar closet and immediately cut tracks without even tuning.

If you still have issues after cleaning, stretching, etc., there might be a problem with the nut slot. If you're not comfortable with cleaning up the slot with a file, try some Big Bends Nut Sauce. Pete Thorn turned me onto to it in 2014 and it can be a life saver.

The backup wooden box showed up today. It's exactly like the old one, which is showing signs of wear after pounding on it almost every week for 5 years.

Started playing bass back in the late 60s. I was working at a dinner theater (lighting) and this guy Ray Evans and his band was performing there. Come to find out, he had written the theme to "Bonanza". After the show, I went to the stage and began talking to the band. I mentioned that I really liked the Bass and his player says "Here - try it out"..I was hooked after that. Been playing ever since. I have went through (seems like) hundreds of rigs since them, but there are what I play now.

I tried to upload a pic - but no luck

62RI Fender Precision
75RI Fender Jazz
57RI Precision
2001 Rickenbacker 4003
2004 Rickenbacker 4003
2012 Fender FSR Antigua Precision

2010 Ampeg Heritage 8x10 Cab and Heritage SVT Head
1970 Acoustic 370/371
2008 Ampeg 8x10 Cab
2006 Ampeg 6X10 Cab
2009 Markbass CMD121P w/extension cab
2003 Ampeg SVT4 Pro

That's what I currently use - but I haven't played steadily in a couple of years.

Cool. Nice bass. I don't know that I would put it that close to the fireplace though.

splatbass · 11-19-2016, 04:01 PM

This was just delivered on Wednesday. Yamaha APX500III thinline. Action was way high, like they generally are if you buy them online and they haven't been set up. Sanded 1/16" off the bridge saddle and then adjusted the relief, and installed Ernie Ball Earthwood Rock and Blues strings on it, now it plays great. My arthritic fingers are sore from all the sanding though. This is a quality guitar, amazing what you can get for $300 these days. The pickup/preamp sounds really great.

eDave · 11-19-2016, 04:13 PM

Literally everyone who buys Yamaha brings down the bridge. Why they don't bring it down themselves is beyond me. But at least you get to adjust to your liking.

Nice guitar Splat. How does it sound through an amp?
