Awesome! I pass by Denmark Street a couple of times a week. Can't wait to have a dive into their stock once they open.

Riffstation does this, and was free until Fender bought it and pulled the plug completely around 2018/2019. However, thanks to the Internet Archive WayBack Machine website, it's possible to get the install files for the free version and use it still. I've had these saved in my bookmarks for years: Windows install file - https://web.archive.org/web/20190215124211/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/riffstation-downloads/Riffstation.exe Mac install file - https://web.archive.org/web/20190215044824/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/riffstation-downloads/Riffstation.dmg Enjoy!

Bought some patch cables. Sent quickly and working just how they should. Recommended.

I rented a Rumble 40 along with a Squier 40th anniversary jazz bass last year. I'm only a beginner but thought it sounded really good. The price seems decent too for a used one.

So in a few months we'll get them popping up on Ebay as "Rare" at ridiculously high prices 😂

Well you first played it on Valentines Day so not sure whether to believe you…

Seems about right for me. I only discovered Dylan LeBlanc in October and have been listening to him absolutely loads. Would recommend him to anybody that enjoys easy going Alt-Country/Folk. People comment that he reminds them of 70's Neil Young... though I never listened to that so wouldn't know.

So do you have to turn off your fridge, internet router etc too?

So I'm thinking of ordering the Rotosound Swing Bass RS66LN 45-100 Nickel, is that a good starting point? https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/collections/winter-sale-strings-sets/products/rotosound-swing-bass-rs66ln-bass-strings-45-100-nickel Also I want to try some Flatwounds and was thinking of these: https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/collections/winter-sale-strings-sets/products/rotosound-jazz-bass-rs77le-flatwound-bass-strings-50-110-monel

Thanks for all the responses and advice. I'm going to keep these on for now but will also order up a new set of Rounds and Flats just to see what differences there are 🙂

Hey all, I have a Yamaha BB604 that I bought used during lockdown and have just started to play now (total beginner at bass but can play a little guitar). The strings seem to be in good condition but I've noticed that 3 of them have the silk wrap whereas the E doesn't... I'm guessing that the E is from a different set but does this mean that the 3 with wraps are Flatwounds and maybe the E isn't? Why would the previous owner have done this? Should I consider purchasing a new set of strings or just make do with these as they are? The strings sound fine to me through an amp, not dead or flat as far as my ear can tell. They're not tarnished at all. The only thing with the E is that it's quite thick so I don't know if it's a different gauge than what would've come with the others initially, and depending on the amp/bass knob settings I often get the "clipping/cut off" sound when playing that particular string. I have to dial back the "bass" setting to avoid this. What are your thoughts?

How are these compared to the 40th anniversary Squiers? Still kicking myself for not picking one up when they were £259 at Thomann.

My Dad listens to this song all the time... every time I hear it I think "C'mon man... again?"

£15 is a bargain! I had an F310 years ago which I bought for £50 second hand. Couldn't get on with it though so sold it on shortly after. Washburn are another under-rated manufacturer that do some nice acoustics if the need arises in the future.

Def Leppard's Pyromania came out in 1983, so he's automatically wrong.
