Very high tension though - I prefer TI flats on my P.

For me, it's all about the width at the nut. I found a Fender P5 unplayable (they use the same neck on the Jazz V as far as I know), but the Yamaha BB415 is just right, yet still has the same string spacing at the bridge as the Fender.

Personally, I couldn't stand the Lomenzo - sounded like an artificial narrow band of midrange distortion layered on top of my clean sound. I recommend checking out the Xotic Bass BB Preamp, which sounds like a tubescreamer tweaked for bass. Plenty of lows and plenty of highs too!

Apparently the AD200B has no such built in filter, and my speakers fart out a bit if I go mad on the B string. Hoping this will help! Not picked it up from the post office yet though...

It's a cool little pedal, mine did drop off the sub bass though, so the blend is good idea. Hope that mode switch had been moved somewhere, because it's useful for er... changing modes.

Not tried the new Ibanez one, but I have the Xotic BB Preamp which is effectively a tubescreamer tuned for bass. The new Ibanez bass TS does have a blend but I'm not really a fan of blended overdrive. Blended fuzz / distortion however is another matter!

Should be picking mine up from the post office later too!

My first bass was a fretless!

If you have 2 amps or 2 channels you could also try the sfx X&M, I believe there's one going in the classifieds. It's a crossover and mixer in pedal, if you just use the crossover half you can send your highs to one amp and your lows to another.

BUT, i'd stick to the BASS big muff over the guitar big muff (in the link). I hav the bass and the russian, and the bass one sounds great on the 'dry' mode, which has 50% of your CLEAN signal so you dont lose any low end, and 50% of effect.[/quote] Actually it uses 100% of your clean signal plus however much fuzz you dial in on top, resulting in a huge volume boost. I had to mod mine with a separate master volume control to make it useable in a band situation!

Deffo sounds like a mistake there mate! You could get a Berg NV412 for less than that.

No, but I have bought a bass and regretted not playing it first!

There are lots of different types of Big Muff, some have more low end than others, but you should be just fine. The Russian ones are regarded as the best for bass.

I got some from Strings Direct a few years ago for my fretless Yamaha but they had to order them in for me. Status Hotwire half rounds are very similar though and cheaper if you want to try those in the meantime!

Wow, I didn't know they had VM 5'ers now. About time!

And you'll find a basschatter working in the bass section too! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141839"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141839[/url]

The red silks could be good old Labella Deep Talkin 760FL's. Did a recording session today with my trusty P that I hadn't played for a while, sounded great with the TI Flats on it!
