Quick ampeg question, I was looking the Ampeg SVT 2 Pro but I don’t like the front panel where the slots are for the bolts at the ends , do they do anything to cover these or a housing that looks good

Their shop isn’t far from me either

Even the case is in great condition, yeah C width 44mm

Pretty pricey but a really nice 66 P listed yesterday, haven’t seen many in this condition https://reverb.com/uk/item/66852950-1966-fender-precision-bass-vintage-original

I’ve never seen them in 5 , think I paid £10 or less for mine at the time

The adagio flats are really good strings for the price, I’ve had a set on one of my jazzes for about 7 or 8 years, they are not bright flats and they are still sounding good

Cruising through Walthamstow listening to this

If I only had the one precision I would have changed them back to the labella’s , but because I’ve got a few it’s nice to have different sounding ones, I’m definitely leaving them on , the more I play it the more I like them

Back on track and I’m fitting a set on to one of my jazzes later, I shall report back, do they mellow with time like other flats

Came across this instrumental today, nice tune

Err think it might have been me

not guilty 😁

Edited just in case I get any private messages 😁

Haven’t tried that yet, I’ll give it a go later 👍

Rubbing the strings with Vaseline will also work, a Sean Hurley tip

Yeah I found this too, I play with a fairly light touch anyway but moving closer to the neck made them sound pretty good

I finally got around to fitting a set of these to one of my precision’s that had labella LTF’s on, first impressions are they feel like the same tension which is nice as most of my basses have the labella’s, they don’t feel as smooth but nothing really noticeable like rounds which I don’t like, sound wise they seem to have a lot of mids especially the E and A compared to the D and G, but definitely not lacking in the lows , for what I play I’ve rolled the tone knob right down and the mids come through nicely , I’ve got another set now to try on one of my jazzes, overall they are really cool

Yeah I found that too , he does get some nice basses and a few I would have bought but not much flexibility on the price

Not sure if it’s money laundering just wishful thinking hoping someone takes a liking to it

Welcome Colin

Lovely, how does it sound on active

Naoto Tada who I follow put this up a while back, great playing
