Nope. That made no difference. Adjusting pickup height fixed it

Pickup height adjusted and problem solved. Thanks for the tips

South of Heaven - Slayer

I'm afraid that's where I need to be to work with the bands doomy music. There are quite a few bassists tuning P basses just as low or lower so it must be possible to make it work.

Hard to tell. The low string just clatters the frets.

Same note = different volume

I can clearly see it when I record in to my DAW, the trace from my recording shows huge difference in wave amplitude between the low A# string and the others

That's a big difference between E and A. Maybe I that's where my problem is

I'm having trouble with volume difference between strings. When I'm with the band my lowest string is nice and clear but the volume disappears as I move across the strings. Im playing a Fender Mexican standard precision but it's tuned down to A# F A# D# and fitted with .130 .100 .080 .065 string guages. All four strings are the same height off the pickups. Any suggestions?

Do Stranglers count as early 80s? I think Peaches has the greatest bass tone ever. Absolutely disgraceful and brilliant at the same time

Today is the first Sunday this year we've not had practice. I'm bored now I miss the usual super loud session! Last week we had the walls rattling in another studio which is two units away! Some say a 4x10 is unnecessary, I disagree

Add in dome overdrive and that's pretty much the standard modern metal bass sound

Well it's mother's day so Danzig is on the gramophone this morning.

I have Schaller strap locks that came with one of my basses. They're alright, do their job OK. I wouldn't actually buy them though
