Cowpoke P-bass in the house!

<< < (5/5)

Denis:
Picked up the Cowpoke from the shop last night and what a difference! Everything was out of whack but due to some in-store strife the guitar tech set it up super cheaply.  ;D

I'm surprised how different this thing is from the two other basses I have. The neck seems wider than the T-birds, but also seems shorter because of the smaller body on these. It's harder to play farther down the scale than on either the T-bird on the Dano, in spite of the fact that there's a generous cutaway. Since I don't have nearly the experience switching back and forth between basses that you guys have, getting used to it will take a little time.

She sounds FANTASTIC though!

Dave W:
Good. I'm glad it was a simple setup and not a serious issue.

Denis:
Thanks, Dave. Nothing serious fortunately, just typical bridge and truss rod adjustments, tuning, etc. I don't know how old the strings were but they didn't need to be replaced. I think she's going to turn out to be a nice bass.
