Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Mosrite Combo Bass.

Build quality

  • The Mosrite Combo Bass features Kluson tuners rather than the expected "Diamond" tuners, common in models from 1964 to 1967.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Historical models have unique "Speed Frets" measuring 0.070" wide and between 0.015" to 0.022" tall, challenging for players used to taller frets.

    Source
  • Saddle screws should be replaced with stainless steel to prevent breakage, as the original screws can be fragile and prone to breaking.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The neck design of Mosrite basses is thin and doesn't taper, maintaining a consistent thickness of 0.860" from frets 1 to 13.

    Source
  • Mosrite basses have a truss rod design allowing it to be pulled out from a flat cavity when not under tension, unlike many other guitars.

    Source

User experience

  • The instrument's neck is considered too thin by some, making it difficult for players to chord, but adds to its rarity and collectability.
