It really is just verbiage.

That’s probably the one I’ve heard then. However, @Wolverinebass makes a good point. I remember when I first bought my Schroeder cab, that everyone was raving about back then. I got it home and hated it. But I trusted the words of others, stuck with it and took it to rehearsal, where it just sat in the mix and was as sweet as a sweet thing. I did many gigs with that cab and only once did it not sound good, due the lousy venue acoustics (basically a glass box with a carpeted floor). All that said, The Ox’s tone at the end of his career, didn’t even sound good in the mix to me, just all fizz, but he liked it and he was who was and who I’ll never be, so what do I know, other than what I like?

Sole Only - The Police and of course… Rock Salmon - The Police

The bass sound on Leeds is great. I also like the way bass sounds in the mix on Quadrophenia, although I think it’s horrible in isolation and was a complete shock when I heard The Real Me with the Ox front and centre and everyone else dropped right back.

Prawn to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Whelk This Way -Aerosmith

They look like quality efforts to my eyes, good work! IIRC, there was a downloadable template for this procedure somewhere on BC.

That puts it the right side of the 4kg limit (I have shoulder/neck issues), thanks for that.

I’ve started looking them now 🤦🏻. Bass Freaks have a very nice Maruszczyk in natural that has caught my eye. However, a D5 is ridiculously tempting alternative at the price, even when you factor in possibly retrofitting a Lindy Fralin noiseless p/up. What’s the weight like on yours, Neep?

For me, the most round wound sounding of all the flats (that I’ve tried). Never had any stickiness or fret wear (I equate stickiness with LaBellas, easily remedied). There was a period when there batches with spots of rust/discolouration (I had one string with this, but it was free set, so no cause for complaint), but this seems to be in the past. Buying from the Ernie Ball shop on Amazon seems to be the cheapest option for particular gauges (£42 for 45-100).

🎉🍾 it’s back!

Child that I am, couldn’t help but snigger at this. Sounds uncomfortable

Echoes - PF

Keep On Running - Spencer Davis Group

Can't Keep It In - Cat Stevens

Which is what you were after - result!

Into The Great Wide Open - Tom Petty & Co

Those are some eagle eyes you have there, Mark. Good work. I was so surprised at the ‘accuracy’ at the headstock end, that I failed to make a full perimeter search. Good to know that computer generated (no intelligence evident just yet) images continue to be inaccurate in the silliest of ways.

Tears on my Pilau - Kylie

Perhaps it was to cure neck dive, whilst trying to keep some sort of Fender aesthetic?

Crazy Jalfrezi Nights - Kiss

Pick up the Pizzas - AWB

Maybe it’s feeling unloved? EDIT: It plainly isn’t unloved as this thread proves.
