I used to hate flatwounds, just like OP, but while they are definitely not my preferred cup of tea I've finally have come to terms with that they do have their place, especially on fretless basses. Though it's still more a case of me having learned to appreciate the kind of tone other people get out of them in the right context, rather than actually enjoying using them myself. If I really need that kind of tone for a composition/production I just palm or foam mute my roundwound strings and apply some extensive EQ post production. With the right treatment you can make roundwounds sound exactly like flatwounds, but it is impossible to make flatwounds sound exactly like rounds.

I would imagine them tone wise being similar to single coil '51 P Bass pickups, by the look of them.

Thanks a lot! Works perfectly now. And it isn't even picky about the IR files not being of the correct resolution otherwise used by the pedal. However as it turned out I found I actually prefer the stock Ampeg SV212AV IR that I have been using up until now to any of my other 3rd party IR cab sim files. But at least it is nice to know that the pedal works as it is supposed to, and that I do have the option, should I want something different than the stock IRs.

The strings vibrations are less at the bridge, so all other things being equal, output of pickup, height e.t.c, there will be less output from a pickup at that position. And yes, a magnet got 2 poles and it does matter which is which, so possible you messed up when gluing them back on the pickups. Try testing the individual poles magnetic pull one by one and see if there are any inconsistences, and if 2 single coil pickups the polarity of the magnetic pole should be opposite between them, that is hovering a magnet over the pole pieces facing the same side one pickup should attract the magnet the other repel it.

That's because violins and double basses are fretless instruments though, when you are stuck with frets being able to adjust intonation at the bridge is kind of crucial. I also like to point out that I am in no way promoting musical perfection, far from it, and actually listening to some of the music I created/helped create should make that perfectly clear to everyone, it's just kind of obvious that Paul's Höfner bass had intonation problems when isolated like that, and when listening to it isolated like this it does kind of make my face go as that emote I used (not sarcastic at all, as otherwise suggested by mister internet mindreader Greavesbass). I guess how this rather objective statement was taken does show how zealous most Beatles fans are (and mind, while not exactly being a die heart Beatles fan, I actually really do like them and much of the music they created).

Well now you have (and not "The Beatles intonation" (what is that even supposed to mean?), the intonation of Paul's bass in the video linked to in the OP), and it's true too... Also, sarcastic emote (preference, what?)... Good one! Thumbs up for reading my mind through the internet!

What the hell are you on about, you talk like you know me and my preferences, making all kind of crazy assumptions about my musical taste and preferences, all I said was the intonation is off, which it is. And you are dead wrong about me too!

I posted an on topic comment, commenting the video, I wasn't the one starting to spur patronizing assumptions and comments about about other posters.

What the... You accuse me for not being a real musician in a patronizing tone, and make all kinds of untrue assumptions about me, and then block me when I let you taste your own medicine.

As apposed to me? How did you come to this conclusion, from me simply noting that intonation is off? Which it is. You should try adjusting intonation on your bass, you might like it... It's usually done by those wee screws at the back of the bridge attached to the saddles, by moving them back and forth, depending. You can find detailed instructions online.

As opposed to unreal musicians playing unreal music in an unreal studio...

All you need is love, really...

It's a delay for a reason... No one in this thread is talking about a reverse effect in real time. But yes, the EHX Attack Decay pedal uses envelope to simulate sort of a reverse like effect in real time, not what is discussed here however.

There's also the reissued Danelectro Back Talk, which is a combination of analog and digital delay, though exclusively a reverse delay, but a pretty amazing and very analog sounding one at that.

Stating that they use the original multi track recordings, rather than just calling it the original album tracks, has me thinking that there might at least be some live re-mixing involved at the shows. Which would match with the statement in the same article/interview that there will be solo musicians playing an instrument live on some of the songs at the show.

Do they just mime to the album versions of the songs though, or have these songs by any chance been pre-re-recorded live specifically for the tour, or at least are special more live like re-mixes of the album versions?

The reverse delay on the Zoom B1on, B1Xon, MS-60B and MS-70CDR is indeed pretty damn amazing. Especially if you throw some subtle spring reverb in front of it, which these units would be capable of as well. And the two latter would tick the box of being compact too.

That's quite the pair of buttocks.

Ha, Ha, conservatoire students! LOL... Wait... What?... Uhm....

Pop music is and has always been more entertainment than an art form. No big surprise, really. To rewrite a common mantra here on Bass Chat slightly: "No one in the audience can tell the difference or care, so why should you?". They are primarily there to be entertained, not to listen to music in specific, or at least that is secondary to them.
