Definitely better than The Wheel.

Ok, so never filed a nut before. Any tips or guidance? Currently, have a bass 'sat' in E standard on 45-105's, and quite fancy changing it to BEAD tuning. Got a set of 45-135's incoming, so will be sticking those on, but obviously, I'll have to file the nut for them to fit. Assuming it's a case of "easy does it"? Do a bit on either side, then see how the string fits? Any tips or tricks I need to know? Thanks. 👍

Hello from near Sneckyville

As you both say, the clank is part and parcel of "the sound", especially when you dig in. My HW is a single truss rod, so a bit easier to adjust. Yes, making sure that the strings don't choke is important, having a little neck relief is great, but just making sure it's playable is the big thing.

Can't beat a Jetglo 4003 IMO. Good purchase. 👍🤘

I always lusted after Lorne's Bich bass, so jealous of that one.

This is so true. I've had tinnitus for nearly 20 years now, good earplugs are an absolute necessity for managing it. Even wearing headphones is enough to set it off, so when I've done recording sessions, I need to wear earplugs, so IEM's are out for me. Always tell my lad and his band-mates to wear them, hopefully they will listen.

Spent many hours (and pounds) in Electro Music. Always very friendly staff and varied stock. Don't live around there anymore, so since EMS stopped trading, there's nothing in Doncaster anymore. Rich Tone in Sheffield is a great, and Rockem in Rotherham is great for drum stuff.
