I see them listed for $269 to over $600! 
All used. Like what they came with really soft plastic nuts and saddles and the strings dug in terribly. And with the neck having to be completely reset, they needed a complete fret leveling job. Everyone is telling me this extra work will not add value, but in my opinion it makes the bass worth buying at all. What good is it to buy one for only $270 and find out the neck is not straight with the body?
But Iām starting to believe this may become a big deal. Iāll probably just sell it for $300 and let somebody cover the shipping. I just donāt feel like doing all the research it would take, then trying to actually āmakeā the sale to someone.
The content of threads is very loose around these parts. Thereās a thread on buying a p bass that has evolved into a discussion on wristwatches. Par for the course
How else would you know itās time to buy a P-bass??? 
Ha ha. I thought it was the Ibanez Fretless bass that you were talking about.
This is even tougher one than the Ibanez. A 23ā scale bass requires a specialty string to make it sounds ārightā and the string cost about a third of your bassās price. Regular gauge string cuts this short will produce strange overtone and/ or deadens tones.
I have 2 basses in the same scale and both are now have a Dogal string sets installed on them.
The original strings listed are no longer available. Theyāve been replaced by the Taylor GS mini. The original strings are so much better it is scary! They seem like crazy and you can bend them and play solos on this thing like a guitar. They really have a long and strong resonance to them. I took them off when they were still good and put them in the front pocket of the case. I was saving them for future recording. They remind me of pressure wound strings, even though they arenāt. Iām saying they really really sing.
The set up on both of my FGN Double Pās (and Iād imagine others).
Yeah thatās is acoustic strings of course itās an acoustic bass with saddle pickups or transducers. My experience is only with the bass with regular pickups. That Bronze string would not work on regular bass pickups. But it leaves your finger smelling fantastic, 
Thatās just a rumor about me smelling my fingers!!! 
Iāll help you out Al ā¦ just send me that little bass of yours and I will send you mine. Then you donāt have to worry about strings!
Iām such a nice, caring person 
This one?
I agree. Done.
I meant, uh yes that one 
I would just have to take a pair of snippers and cut off that extra string, of course 
I assume that in the Double Pās cases, itās a volume for each split-p pickup, effectively Jazz bass style?
On the OLP, each coil of the (single) humbucker pickup has its own volume pot. Have them both open, I think the pickup is effectively running series, humbucking mode. Turn one down, the bass becomes a single coil.
Precision watches for precision basses!
You may need to take a number as a few members already got in line for it, 
Yeah, that some cool trick there. I love it.
As soon as my Ibanez 34-in, and the 23 inch scale traveler bass is gone, I am not varying from a-30 inch scale going forward. I want to get used to playing the same basic feel between my different basses.
Gas strikes again. Iām gassing for some deep talking flats. I love my jazz bass so I want to make my p bass as different from it as possible. Iāll probably go try out some basses with flats on them just to see if the feeling of flats is comfortable.
Do stainless flats chew up frets like rounds would? Or does the smooth surface make it a non issue?
