A couple of years back I got three sets of Hartke roundwounds for about £13.00 on Ebay. I was quite impressed with them really and for that price they were great. If funds were tight I would happily use them again.

Let's hope he has a full and speedy recovery.

I thought meths was surgical spirit with a dye added.

Stick with the P's

The container is not going to have any effect, so longs as the strings get immersed. I suspect that your strings are just too far gone. Time to splash the cash on some new ones

I didn't like the Ernie Balls I put on my G&L a while back, it's the only time it has sounded (to my ears) lacklustre. Order was restored with DR Highbeams. I fancied trying something different on one of my P basses and had an amazon voucher, so I've just ordered a set of D'addario Pro Steels. Cost about £15 with postage.

Sounds exciting for you, good luck with it.

Lovely pair of arrivals. Very nice

[quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1382629799' post='2254706'] Where, and whats the name of your band? I might just do that. [/quote] [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/defunkt"]http://www.lemonrock.com/defunkt[/url] We are at The Lord Haig, kicks off about 9. If you do get there, make sure to come and say hello. Its always good to catch up with Bass Chatters.

I play mostly pub gigs, plus a few social clubs. Genz Benz Shuttle 6 in to two markbass 2 x 10"'s. Works really well for me. Mix of rock, soul, pop, funk, with Fender P or G&L SB1 Prior to this set up I was using Trace, awesome sound & awesome weight. Playing in Hertford this saturday if you want to check out the rig.

Enjoy your fishing mate. Good luck.

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1382470914' post='2252636'] Avoid troubleshooting the problem and send KiOgon a PM. Have him send you a P Bass wiring loom and then stick it in your P. His wiring kits are fantastic, and the Tone knob will actually do something! [/quote] This is damn fine advice. Done it a few times myself. You shouldn't have to of course with a nearly new bass but at least you will know that all of the replacement kit is of excellent quality and well put together.

What a total downer for you. Sorry to hear this.

Yep. I'm enjoying. Been following his blog recently about his bro, in fact I think it was you who put a link up for that, so thanks

That's a downer mate, Hope she gets well soon.

Yes, plenty of love. Luke posted about it previously as he was planning to buy.

I have regretted selling mine so this is very tempting. I think the weight would make it a no goer for me for gigs but as a collectible, hmmm. Thanks for the kind offer.

Looking good Paul, looks like a decent purchase

At 25p per hour you should expect to have your door beaten down by a stampede of students

The Doc did this one for me, nothing exciting but it was much better value than having to get one from the states. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6093341650/"][/url]

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1381942620' post='2245851'] Haven't we done this before? [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/kjon51/media/Fender%2051%20Precision%20Bass/DSCF0606x05.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Maybe but it's always good fun.

It looks very cool. Good work Dad. Love the look of the covers, even though I can't actually play a bass with covers on.

Maybe we will catch up there at some point.
