Sound & Playability
This bass has comes stock with American open gear tuners and USA bridge. The metal pickguard, nitro finish and tinted maple neck give a vintage vibe. Bass plays smooth over the whole neck with no issues. Pickups and electronics work perfect. Wide 20-fret C neck and vintage spec frets complete the vintage feel. Pay a bit more for the lacquer version on this bass—it's well worth it. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Full Fender specs in gallery. Buy from a trusted seller with fast insured shipping. Thanks!
This is how I pack a guitar:
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
