  1. morgano started following Best Rosin for a mixed plain Gut & Spircores set and 1920 Czech bass 3/4 size

    Is this still for sale?

    The Gaston Brohan Oak Rosin or Arnold Gregorian Oak Rosin is/was the best I have tried. Unfortunately, Gregorian Strings appear to have gone out of business a while back. I'd love to find something else as good.
  4. morgano started following Amps and Cabs For Sale and EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
  5. morgano started following High Pass Filters

    If you don't need the strings really urgently try bassstringsonline (in the States). Have used them before, and they have good range of strings. I'm not sure how the prices compare now with the weak pound, but they were competitive a while back, even with shipping.

    I couldn't establish any communication with them; either by phone or email. In the end I went to my bank who put a chargeback on the order and refunded me. I don't know what is going on with Stringbusters but I won't be ordering from them until I know that 'normal service is resumed'. It's a shame really, as I preferred using them as their prices were often better than Strings Direct.

    Yes, the newer lead-free (eco-friendly) solder melts at a higher temperature. It also doesn't have as nice a shiny finish when it solidifies.

    It might be that even though the scale lengths are similar, due to differences in how the neck mounts in the neck pocket, the 12th fret ends up in a different position with the new neck once it is mounted on the bass. When the necks are mounted in the body how different is the measurement between the 12th fret and the G saddle?
  10. morgano
    You would need to move the bridge away from the nut to compensate, so probably a lot of work, and may not work aesthetically.
  11. morgano
    It sounds like the new neck has a different scale length. You can check by measuring from the nut to the 12th fret on both necks. The measurement should be as close as possible. The bridge saddle adjustment may allow for some leeway if there is a difference, but not if it is more than a few mm's.

    Have Stringbusters gone bust? Their Website is still up, but I haven't received the strings I ordered in 24th July 2017. They are still marked as 'Awaiting dispatch'. I've tried phoning several times, but there's no reply.

    Yes, flatwound strings will definitely help to reduce finger noise. You could also try reducing the top end response of your amp by reducing treble or turning off the tweeter if your cab has one. Another alternative worth trying is a low-pass filter such as the one in the Hotone GATE pedal. However, when you are using the Markbass Minimark, trying turning up the VLE control, as this is just a variable low-pass filter so should have the same effect.
