Ed Friedland giving one a go. $40 seems a lot.

That split coil sound is very pleasing indeed (the normal setting isn't bad either).

What a great album that is.

Good old PTFE. If you can't fix something with PTFE, duct tape, Araldite or WD40, it's probably very broken.

Yeah, @bubinga5 is right, they do 3/8" and 1/2" fittings. If they are the wrong size and you can't return them, you could try wrapping some masking tape around the bushing to make it fit snugly. EDIT: You beat me to it.

What? No!

Kossoff, because of my age at the time and that he seemed to have got his life back on track. More recently, Bowie's death really rattled me when I found out and I'm not a massive fanboy or anything, I suppose it's because he had just always been there and it came seemingly out of the blue.

Why are you playing bass with your testicles? 😂

I would sometimes get a sore index, plucking finger even though I use alternate, two fingered plucking (I'm actually probably using my index finger more). However, since moving to EB cobalt flatwounds, this seems to be a thing of the past.

I hold my .73mm quite close to the edge (upside down-ish) so very little flex for me. However, I don't think it matters what you use as your brain should sort it out - eventually. Vive la difference!

Depends what you're hoping to achieve tonally. I like the look of the 2 p/up set up, but it's not my build.

I just remembered these guys and rushed to post it, only to find that I have been beaten to it - which is a good thing as they deserve masses of recognition. I saw them with Robben Ford at the Jazz Café and they were sublime. Similarly, the also previously mentioned pairing of Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton are often overlooked.

When using a pick, I used to use a 2mm or a 1.5mm (using my guitarist head that said thicker pick = ‘better’ tone). However, when I saw Bobby Vega at the LBGS I discovered that he uses .73mm, so I thought I’d give those a try, together with his ‘upside down’ grip; I haven’t looked back - .73mm all the way for me.

Sold my D-Tuner to Johann today and done and dusted within a couple of hours or so. Thoroughly recommended. Cheers J.

I'm a Phil Jones fanboy, I have a Cub for practising at home, a Flightcase for rehearsals which I add a PJ300 to for gigs. All of them are really pure and preserve the sound of the instrument. My Rob Allen sounds amazing through it, very upright in tone (which it's supposed to). When gigging with my P and JJ p/up equipped basses, I use a Tech21 VTDI to add a little grit, but they are totally usable without that too. I have no complaints and given that they're nice and light and compact into the bargain, why would I?

That is quality work; so impressive 👏👏👏

I forgot to add Copeland/Sumner, especially the first two albums.
