    Interesting!! I got rid of my FEA Opti-comp in favour of the MXR, which I found worked ten times better as a limiter and found quieter than the FEA. It's got the lowest noise floor of any pedal based comp I've tried (on battery) You're right though, the MXR is similar to the 1176 in the set of controls only. As far as I know.

    Hm, let me know if nothing shows up by Thurs and I'll send some more.

    Looks great! My shell pink P had a black plate but white looks perfect on this one. Summer fresh!

    Yeah OK, what do you suggest? Gear Showcase?

    I love them, they're a little rougher than traditional flats but they feel very supple under the fingers. The flats I have on my P are Labella 760fx which I think are 39-96 and for rounds I use Elixir 40-95 so they're all in my preferred range. I like my strings flexible and super low! I've never tried Labella LTFs I'm afraid They're the brightest flats on earth though, they sound almost like rounds at first but they do mellow a little bit to sound very chunky with plenty of top end which doesn't seem to fade at all.

    I still haven’t found any envelope filter that squelches the same way as the DOD FX25 when you hit the big strings hard. It kind of wobbles and growls, whereas everything else I’ve heard or tried kind of whistles as the filter opens up wide and stays there. I really like my 3leaf Wonderlove because I prefer a band pass with some clean blend which gets that squelch and it’s very flexible (and can boost) but something about the FX25 just kills. Shame it’s a bit quiet, wonder if it’s moddable.

    Give Elixirs a try - about £40 a set but they last literally years so in the long run they're the cheapest strings you'll ever get!

    I've got one in stock, it's microscopic too - nobody has invented the correct instrument cable yet though! I'll pop one in your envelope!

    That’s the one! 1983 (my YOB coincidentally) and one of the few white stingrays with non yellowing lacquer.

    Also echo this comment. I think my Ray is more sensitive to string types than anything else - you’ve got TI flats on it now, maybe go the other end of the scale and put some steel rounds on it and it’ll sound and feel the opposite. I just took some cobalt flats off mine (they always go rusty so I’ve given them up) and out on some elixirs (my rounds of choice - nickel 40-95) and it’s great fun. There’s so much fidelity in that big pickup.

    I live mine! It does everything really well and is a great partner to a P and J bass. It sits between them really well. The pre EB ones have necks to die for and the slab bodies look really chunky.

    Don’t forget plink

    Nice, yeah that’ll do!! I tend to find crunchy distorted bass sounds better with roundwounds myself, to give that aggressive edge. TI flats are nice though eh? Strangely I don’t think I’ve ever had flats on a jazz.

    Whatever works for you, really - I dislike the pure note on it's own going 'buh' and like a little bit of fret clank and/or rattle behind the note to help it growl, in varying amounts of course.

    I think on a stingray in particular, a low action/relief gives that nice clicky percussive sound that's so instantly recognisable in a mix.

    Just read about this new chorus pedal. I had the V1 but found the chorus rate was too fast in all settings - this new one has internal switches to choose a new slower rate matched to the Juno 60 keyboard. I found the original pedal kept the bass frequencies intact (it's designed for keys and guitar) and the V2 has in internal gain switch to optimise it for higher level input. It's also pretty cheap, true bypass and runs on a battery. Hopefully there'll be a bass demo soon..

    See I really like my P with light flats, no relief and super low action! You get the gritty clank and chewy midrange - and that sort of ‘plasticky’ overtone when you dig a little harder. I can’t play anything with a high action, I feel like my hand is numb and can’t pull off trills or hammers at all. I think I’m mostly just lazy!
