When I use rounds, I use Rotobass 40s. Great value, good sounding strings. Now though, I use only flats, and my experience of 34" RS77s was awful. No tone, massive tension.Chromes are way more elastic, and of course TIs even more so. So, Rounds = Rotosound, Flats = just about anything else.

Basswood.. should i be scared? Cv60s bridge question too
Telebass replied to thebuckets's topic in Bass Guitars
As everyone else has focused on the body wood...the bridge ought to be similar. -

4-string. No more complex than a passive PJ setup, electrically. Nut width around 40mm, between P and J. A bass realisation of the KISS principal, in other words... In other words, I like what's in my sig. Maple board if possible, but not really worried if not.

[quote name='Grahambythesea' timestamp='1457883474' post='3002629'] If I put a gold anodised scratch plate on my jazz, will stop it humming under fluorescent strip lights.....lol! [/quote] No. It MIGHT reduce it a bit...The only way to stop hum on a Jazz is to have both pickups at the same output (eg fully up), in which state they are a humbucking pair, or retrofit proper hum-cancelling pickups, which may, of course, alter the tone somewhat. Shielding the cavities can also help. Shielding AND the metal plate might just be pretty effective also.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1457969466' post='3003482'] I'll be going again next year, and saving up so I can spend my money on stuff I clearly don't need, just really really want. [/quote] This!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1455976539' post='2984151'] [b]The Psychology Of GAS[/b] How many people of this parish are actually better players than the gear they already have and need better/more expensive gear? [/quote] Assuming good setup, the quality of even low-end gear makes this scenario almost impossible today. Almost... I'm no better than anyone else when it comes to GAS, but put a stop to it by deciding what I needed to do the job, and leaving it at that. However... I DO need new IEMs...

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1456125666' post='2985511'] I much prefer "bassist" or "bass player" to "bass guitarist" I know bass is shaped and played similar to a guitar but that's where the similarity ends. They are completely different instruments, fulfilling different roles and requiring a very different skill set and musical approach. Despite what the uninitiated may think, we do not just play the same as the guitar an octave lower... [/quote] Precisely, it's a guitar-like bass, it's not a guitar. So bassist or bass player it is.

I have a bitsa P and a BB414. That's really all the instrumental variety I can handle. For making it louder, I have a Markbass CMD121H, and a Markbass Traveler 151P if I need the full 500W. As far as I am concerned, that's all I can justify, and it's all I want. I WILL get a more expensive BB at some point, but then the 414 will go. I had several more basses and amps not too long ago. They were just taking up space and money for no reason, so off they went. If I can ever justify more, then I'll have more. Just nothing right now...
