I've got the stadiums on my Jazz and they are great strings and i have just ordered Extra Slinky's for my Bb. I'm loving the stainless tone at the moment. Warm = Dull in my opinion.

Everyday's a school day! Thanks for the info.

[quote name='eude' post='1147381' date='Mar 2 2011, 05:23 PM']You can get the bridges here >> [url="http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Basses/Bridges/Sandberg-Bridge-4-chrome-/art-BAS0004215-000"]http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Basses...-BAS0004215-000[/url] Fairly keenly priced too...

Fantastic looking and sounding bass, well done. But where did you get the Sandberg parts?

Is it because Woman of a certain age dig DD that they are deemed uncool? His name is Rio der der der, d der der der.

REM,

Just a point, earlier you mentioned changing things around on the bridge. Did you put it back where it should be? the saddles need to be right in order for the notes to be in the right place on the neck.

I didnt think of that, something else il look into. cheers

Im using a ten year smoke alarm battery in mine its been in for ages, and i didnt know the unplug thing. You learn something new everyday.

I have thought about a jazz in black and maple but i didnt get on too well with the last one i had and i love the Bb sound and shape, they punch well above their weight in my opinion. I will have to have a word in the local shop.

Hello all Im going to treat myself to a new bass in the new year, im going to get a Yam Bb414 in black to compliment my active 614. The problem is i realy crave black and maple and i was wondering if it would be possible to change the rosewood board for maple? Does any one know if it can be done and roughly how much it may cost? Steve Imagine the black and maple with a badass and flats, mmmmmm nice.

I use Slinkys (Hybrids or Regulars) and i think they are great. No problems with unwanted noise and they bed in nicely.

If week keep this up maybe we can have a Black Country bass day.
