    It's not what you're asking but you could consider spending a bit more on a really decent set of strings that holds it's brightness. I'm a convert to DR strings, they are a bit pricey but they sound incredible and the tone lasts months. It might work out cheaper in the long run! I use Hi Beams and Fat Beams - I think I prefer the Fats as they're a bit fuller.

    Some of these don't sound like the original recordings, or could be live.

    These ABM cabs were custom built by Ashdown, not for me but for a customer who changed their mind before they were finished. They've been part of my gigging rig for years but sadly no longer needed. They are certainly very loud and have never left me wanting more. Looking at the original order confirms they are loaded with SICA ferrite drivers. The cabs are loaded with horns but I had Ashdown disconnect them as I never use them, and the original order didn't specify the usual horm control for some reason! They could be easily reconnected if you know what you're doing. They are both in good condition, some signs of wear to the covering but nothing serious. The rubber on the carry handles is starting to perish but they are still functional. Collection only from Dartford.

    What are you using now? For low tension* flats I heartily recommend the magnificent TI flats, and for Rounds, DR Fat Beam or Hi Beam. DRs have been a bit of a revelation for me and I now use them on everything, including my 4003! * I know it's technically not "lower tension" but we all know what we mean.

    It depends on the instrument. There are a few sig basses that I would have loved but the name placement or design stopped that. The Spector Ian Hill and Fender Sting both have that monstrous 12th fret inlay, and one of Fender's Steve Harris Precisions had the West Ham logo on the body. That's just asking for trouble on certain pub gigs! Why it wasn't a removable decal like on the Roger Waters bass is beyond me. Green Day's Mike Dirnt had the right idea - he made sure his signature wasn't visible on the front so the Green Day connection didn't serve as a deterrent.
