Re: Which bass is your favorite bass to play & why?

Could be the nut, Could be a cheapie string. Could be the first fret a litt=
le high. Could even be the speaker in the amp or maybe the pick-up and cont=
rols.=20
=C2=A0
Guess I'd start with a new set of strings and go from there. Check the clea=
rance between the open string and the "F" fret too.=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Not much help. I know, but its a start.
=C2=A0
Let us know if yuo come up with anything.
