It's really not a bad bass! To be fair, it has had some work done on it and it's way better than it was. These are a nylon string. They were in an unmarked package. They are black with red and black wraps.
🤣 True! It's all personal preference and what works well for your body and instrument. And, how you feel you can get the tone and volume you want. I still experiment with height and body angle, depending on the day.
Yup, the endpin height is for the right hand placement pizz or arco. The scale length (3/4, 1/2, 5/8, etc) you choose is for your left hand size. 5/8 size basses are getting popular these days, but the 3/4 basses are a good compromise between comfort and tone production. Every once in a while you'll find a 5/8 bass that roars and plays great. Those are the ones you should buy right then.
Thanks for great pointers Anne

I know I should know, but those are gut strings? For a bass that “needs work” I sure like the sound.

Ooooh. I have some Ron Carter Nylon Tape Wounds. Might have to check em out. Thanks for the tips and the response!
@@drstrange629 you're welcome!
Man, looks like you almost need a step ladder to get to half position. 😂

Indeed...and in more ways and things we ever dreamed possible. But hey, it's all good. 🙋🏾♂️
