If you want Roto steels that last longer and are smoother then DR Lo Rider Steels are the answer.

I'm not sure if it's all in my head but I'm just unhappy with where my tone is right now. I have two very good basses, a Sandberg TM4 SL and a Bacchus Woodline Craft Jazz, but I can't seem to gel with them. Something keeps telling me that I need a Precision. Every time I pick one up, it's the sound I'm after but I've never found 'the one'. I think subconsciously, I'm trying to make my current two basses sound more P like but that's not what they're built to do. Should I get rid and start afresh? Advice/thoughts welcome.

Those in originals bands know the pain of turning up to a venue and if the promoter is particularly sh!tty, they will sort the gear arrangement there and then at the soundcheck.

If you do purchase it, I would love a comparison!

Check your gear regularly. I've never broken a string during a gig or had any other calamities whilst playing live. I have had plenty of gigs where the bassist from the other band has turned up with no amp and asked to use my amp... "Alright mate, my amp is broken/I have no amp; can I lend yours for the night?".

They don't change the sound but I find that they hold intonation better.

I liked their first album - probably because it was very Siamese Dream influenced. Haven't heard anything since.

My fave: "I'm leaving to join the circus - so I can work with some professional clowns".

Yes - enjoyed all three singles released so far. Production is just gorgeous.

Truth hurts. You don't know what you voted for...

Weren't you the guy sweating over the jump in nut width size from 1⅝" to 1¾" ??

Sandberg.

Why have EHX never added a mids knob to these pedals?! I have a Green Russian which sounds epic by itself but when playing with a band and I engage it, I completely disappear from the mix. Is there any setting that works for a band, live?

Maybe it's the bass?! 🤣

Caught this video of the Joyo UD by @Dosi Y'Anarchy and was really impressed. Does it maintain your low end that well?

Thank you Guy Fawkes for Bonefire Night so that it will cover up the unholy dim that is Abba.

I only use DR Strings nowadays and it's still cheaper to ship them over from the States than to buy here.

Which is why I posted this thread with my original question: "Would there be any advantage to getting a Radial / Countryman to use instead?"

All I'm after is a good quality DI that I can use live and send a strong signal to the FOH. Possibly for recording also.

I'm assuming you mean the front part of the MM pickup?

I always use the pre EQ option when DI'ing from my amp so I'm not super fussed about getting something with controls - my Sandberg already has plenty of tonal options on tap.
