Hi Lindy, I run a 20" NF Advantage, or a 21 x 17 Detech SEF, and soon a 25" NF DDX. I've left my upper shaft as is, but I bought a longer after market lower shaft. I have read though that some people say you don't need to replace either of them. Maybe if I were using an NF 25" Mono Advantage instead things may be different, but I wear my pick behind my back and I don't have any problems with false signals or anything from either the pick, my keys or my phone in my back pockets so far.
Is there a reason for using a composite upper shaft mbasko? Is it just to reduce some weight?
