Got my Timber in, but I can't really tell you about it yet.
Congrats Jim!
Sorry about the laryngitis. it hits me about every two years.
Oh this is much better. Hopefully I'll have it remedied and can talk about it before the weekend is out.Of course when I was driving home stewing over it, I remembered the on/off switch.
The round wounds are nylon core, the flats are steel. AFAIK, you have to order those through Magic Fluke as well. I think they are not on the web site because they don't sell as many fretless basses and the flats have bad intonation issues on fretted. Also note that the Timber scale length is 21.5" and these strings *just* fit between the nut and bridge. So they may not work on your 22". If you want I can send you one of the broken ones (it snapped above the blue wrapped portion) to see if they work for you. PM me your address.Wholly molly Jim, I didn't know La Bella made that short a scale, that's exactly what I need for the 22" scale guitars I'm converting to bass. Hey, Magic Fluke has them on their web site with their own packaging, but say they have a nylon core, I don't want that. Where did you get the La Bella packaged ones?
Woops. Thanks for the correction. :cheers:BTW, the pronunciation of the Road Toad Pahoehoe is pah-ho-eh-ho-eh, in Hawaiian every vowel is pronounced.
Nice review Jim. I appreciate your honesty. I want to throw in another con. What do you think of the input jack for attaching the strap? I've had trouble with my strap falling off while playing because it doesn't seem to be a good fit. I had to install an Acoustic-lok to eliminate that issue. Luke
So far, so good, but good to know there's a fix if I need it.What do you think of the input jack for attaching the strap? I've had trouble with my strap falling off while playing because it doesn't seem to be a good fit. I had to install an Acoustic-lok to eliminate that issue.
