I don’t get it...

A ramp does NOT compensate for poor technique. It’s simply a device to change the feel of a bass. Saying you don’t understand why such a good player uses one is like saying you don’t understand why a good player might use a certain string gauge. And you can absolutely dig in with a ramp. You just alter your attack in the smallest way and you can do just as much as you can with a higher action.

The nice thing about a P with flats is that it almost feels like a different instrument - for a while I tried to get flats that sounded more like rounds until I realised that the beauty was in how different it sounded to anything else. If I want modern or zingy I'll use summat else. I've been almost exclusively playing my P/flats for a few weeks now but just busted out the Smith or some zing and it's an incredibly feeling to go from one to the other - I'm sure it makes you appreciate both even more!

Thanks - I don’t have that info unfortunately...

Are the Low Tension Labellas lower tension than the 760fx? Because the FX have a 0.039 G and the LTF have a 0.043 which I’d have thought would be higher

Welcome to Mick’s eBay habit 😂

Awesome and yes some really great jams - maybe good fun to play along with!

No probs

Absolutely - the counter is that we didn’t want to create a two tier membership model ala talkbass because it had a certain effect on the feel of the community. The plan going forward is to target specific user groups (those with a renewal coming up, those who have over X posts who haven’t made a payment etc etc) to explain to them how they can help us (we have a donate button too) and I think that should have the desired effect - when people have emailed me individually with queries about this topic they’re always very understanding and willing to help (like above). Plus this will be far easier to implement at this stage. Cheers

Maybe. We’ll see. I’m rolling out some new email comms soon to ask people to continue supporting us so we’ll see. Thanks. Subs do seem relatively healthy and consistent month to month but I’m having a tough time job wise. Running this place keeps the wolf from the door but only just.

Have a read here regarding PMs https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/315144-new-site-features/ Your feedback thread, if you had one, will still be in the feedback forum - I searched for ‘gub feedback’ and got this https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/131883-feedback-for-gub/?tab=comments#comment-1199590 🍻

Well quite, I bet they’re a bit heavy for guitar 🎸😂

ummm..

No probs mate good luck

I like light strings so I use Labella 760FX flats on my P which have a .0.39 G string - they feel and sound great.

Select 'Basses for sale' in the 'Topics' filter

We just want to avoid people sharing items for sale on other platforms because we’d have no way of knowing if those items are being sold by the OP and we’d obviously rather our members post items here. The eBay weird and wonderful is mainly meant for really weird or totally amazing items rather than just ‘nice’ equipment.

It wasn’t on eBay. Thanks

Group hug 🤗

This is getting a bit close to the bone now - we don’t allow ‘what’s it worth’ posts because some will use them to advertise something for sale without actually placing an ad - I don’t want this to be used as an example of such by anyone who does that in the future (I’m not implying that anyone is doing that on purpose here though) so I’m going to lock it now that it appears your question has been mostly answered, hope that’s ok and thanks for understanding. ped

Ah I’ve just found this post - looks like @Cat Burrito edited out the bit about it being £18 or something, crossed wires maybe? Don’t know... anyway it’s the weekend now https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/363402-joyo-american/?do=findComment&comment=3890444

There’s nothing showing as deleted or hidden that I can see - which thread was it? Did it definitely post ok?
