    You’re correct in this. I couldn’t wait so grabbed a set of Chromes off Amazon. Hopefully I’ll love them, if not there will be a set for sale very soon 😅

    I know we’re here for the Jazzes but that P looks very nice 👀

    Don’t discount the TC BH250. It sounds really great, with effective and simple EQ. It’s very, very compact. It has aux, headphone out (and usb) for home use. A built in, useable visual tuner and a mute. And, it has one Toneprint which is very good. (I’ve basically set it to a compressor and leave it…And, it’s only £175 new. I love the Ashdown sound though so I’m keen to try one of these Ants.

    Thanks for everyone’s feedback on this. I’m leaning towards some D’addario chromes i think. But, like with everything bass related (or life related) I won’t really know until i try myself. I think my plan is to see if i can pick up some used short flats off this very forum when they appear and give them a whirl to decide if i like them on that bass before i chuck a sizeable chunk at some new ones! (I’m being a StringCheapSkate, i know. But the prices are ludicrous for a smaller string) Up until very recently I’d come to terms with just not being able to get on with flats but since putting some cheap ones on my Jaguar, it’s transformed the bass so I’m wondering if its just a case of finding the right strings for the right instrument… go figure 😅

    I dread to think how many marketing emails from ScottsBassLessons you’ve missed out on in the last 15 years 👀

    Not sure if I’ve missed the mention of Sterlings new 4 & 5 Plus models. I can only see EB launches on here. Anyway…

    This is a good shout. But, am i correct in thinking they only make Roundwound? Thank you
  9. AlexDelores
    Do they make a SS set? Coated round wounds could well be a good shout though as it would potentially increase the life span! Thanks

    It’s been done to death I know… But, talk to me about strings. What are we all using that’s relatively hard wearing and retains its goodness even after lots of use? I currently use cheap Fender rounds on my Gretsch which gets gigged heavily in the hot (sweaty) summer months and I change strings every month or so. I have pretty decent care routine (wipe all down after every show etc) But, although I’d say I probably prefer the worn in sound, I hate the feel of old rounds…. So, thinking of trying flats. I’d like a ‘brighter’ flat that can take a bit of abuse… initial thoughts are D’addario Chromes, are these a relatively ‘bright’ flat or would i better looking at something like cobalts? I’m not adverse to trying a more hard wearing round if anyone can recommend something that last a bit longer. In honesty, I’ve always just bought cheap strings and then changed them but it’s getting quite expensive now as they don’t appear to be lasting 😅

    Hi guys, a friend of mine has recently started an app with the goal of localising 3d printing giving people with printing needs, a cheaper way of getting stuff printed. But, also a way of allowing people with 3d printers to monetise from their set ups. I’ll caveat that with saying I know nothing about printing but have used Toby for various jobs over the years. I also worked with him for about 7 years and have known him for over a decade. He’s a genuinely decent and clever bloke. I'm getting nothing out of sharing this I just think it’s a really good idea. And, as you’re all printers, you might be able to monetise your services a bit from it. Anyway, the link is here if anyone thinks it might be of interest to them … https://3dprintlink.net

    Because of the times - Kings of Leon Not an obvious ‘bass in ya face’ type thing but such melodic lines, with really cool rhythmic nuances. I think he’s a seriously underrated rock bass player. And, that and their second album were released at a time in my life that they influenced me deeply and made me want to be a better player!

    IMA posted an IG story about this in response to ‘lots of questions about the price’ He stated that it’s due to high quality components and sparing no expense on subtle features, as well as development times etc. Said that the profit margins aren’t massively high in the industry and that it was all justified. Personally think it looks cool and really rate Ian and his content/energy etc… I’m sure there’s A LOT of people that can justify spending this much money on a pedal, or will happily spend it because it has his name on it... Personally I’m not one of those people. Would be interesting to see how how it compares to some of the other previously ‘high end’ equivalents… although this now makes them look like budget options 😅

    I’d imagine these will sell like hot cakes if the MXR, Labella & Mike Lull collabs are anything to go by!

    I saw this on IG and thought it looked very nice too! If you’re looking for a semi acoustic, i saw this on BD and it looks very nice, and a decent price i think compared to similar I’ve seen for sale in the past. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/italia-maranello-cavo-bass-brown-pre-owned/

    Sorry for the delayed response on these. Missed them completely. Appreciate the advice, will do some digging!
