I fell in love with a Caprice... finally bought it last Friday. Brought it home, put a nice strap on it... And without even plugging it, I took it back. Before doing that, I actually tried two other straps.
Neck dive with all of them! This is the first time I am experiencing neck dive with a bass. It would have driven me totally crazy - to have to either press on the body with right elbow, or having to ‘carry it’ with left hand from the neck.
And I bought this guitar despite faulty wiring from factory which the store repaired (there was no option to turn volume down - like I said, faulty wiring).
So now, I know how to shop for a bass: put a strap on it! And then plug it in...
Caprice is not an option, so I am now looking at the cutlass. The store does not carry it, so it would have to be a custom order. Returning will not be an option without serious $$$ penalty (only with custom orders).
I would appreciate if you could let me know about your experience with cutlass - Does it neck dive?
The neck is wider than caprice, maybe it is a problem with the cutlass too?
Cheers!
