That sort of growl comes from the bass, if we're referring to the same thing. Got samples? (referring to OP post)

Thanks, deleted and banned yesterday after several reports.

Thanks!

I think the OP is talking about bass guitars 😂 How about a wardrobe guitar hanger? Instant ‘closet classic’ and pretty hidden away - also if they’re found they aren’t in cases so much harder to nick. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Closet-Guitar-hanger-CGH01-Hanger/dp/B00A3L4L6U

Wrap the cases in cling film all over and several layers to stop any moisture getting in.

I mean it’s not cheap but it’s probably what you’d expect for a Fullerton made instrument, the fact it’s a few inches shorter than a normal scale bass doesn’t mean it’s going to be much cheaper.

I’ve always used extra light strings so extra light flats just felt right. If I try playing anything approaching 45 I feel like my hands are numb!

@Ashdown Engineering get him!

Hold on are we talking about a twisted neck or one that’s got too much relief?

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 🍻
