Another Adagio user here; I’ve got a set on my Bitsa P bass and they’re great strings, solid sounding strings without being noticeably higher tension than my usual non-flat basses. I think they were about £15 off Amazon.

Tea In The Sahara - the Rozzers

^this guy gets it^

Murder on the Dancefloor - The Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Spit's a sin - Pet Shop Boys

Check that your tone pot isn't touching anything it shouldn't - it could be dumping all of your top end to ground.

Tit's my life - Talk Talk

EWS BMC is another great single-band mids pedal. Not tried the Haunting Mids but I've had very positive experiences with it; brilliant piece of kit!

The Idiot Bastard Son - Zappa

Fretless Jazz into an Ampeg preamp is my (not so) secret sauce. At least half of the time I'll be playing with a custom clone of the Blue Tube/Butler 903 tube overdrive with a blend - set to just below dirty so it crunches when I dig in. Lovely.

I've got one that I built from online schematics - works great and makes a massive difference to how far my speaker jumps whenever I fire up my octave pedal. Not a very scientific conclusion, but it means that I can get more efficiency from my amp.

Baking the Law - Judas Priest

I think they're a welcome part of the live experience. Not everyone can write songs and/or be a recording artist, so cover bands give amateur musicians a chance to experience the thrill of playing live. Similarly not everyone can afford to pay to see a live band every week, so it provides inexpensive entertainment for punters down the Dog and Duck. The way I see it it's a win/win. I think if an established artist wants to release a cover of someone else's song then have at it; the original artist/label can always stop the release of the cover if they don't like it.

What’s the price point though, the TE Elf and Warwick Gnome series already have this corner of the market pretty much sewn up.

Plus another.

BBOT and a 3.5mm drill?

Dunno, but if it was good enough for Prince…

ooh, yes please. PMed

Welcome from another (just about) Lancastrian!

I've used Boss CEB-3 and CEB-2 DOD stereo chorus (old blue thing) NUX Mod Core Multi effects pedal. Zoom patches on 3000B and MS-60B What I now use: EHX Small Clone. I just prefer the sound of the EHX. The Boss ones were too subtle, and the DOD I can't really remember too much about.

More power to your elbow Telebass, enjoy your new lease of life!

It’s one of the best feelings in the world when the sounds coming out of your speaker(s) match the sounds in your head. Glad you’ve got a result!

Here's the compatibility table for the Sonicfoam tips - I got them from Amazon. SF1s seem to fit all of the KZ range.
