Great stuff. Keep us updated on how it sounds.

I never "got" Type O, loads of my friends loved them, but they never clicked for me.

Who Are You? - Black Sabbath

There's Everson as well.

Daydream Believer - The Monkees

Zoom B1 Four?

Autumn Twighlight - Cathedral

Of the all the different sets I've tried in recent years, the Pro Steels are certainly the best, and certainly work well with the Ric's.

There's always: Warwick Red Label 5 String Set - Gear4Music

Absolutely this. Start with a blank canvas every time, exactly as you would with a new amp/cab & effects setup. It is a fair bit of "tweak time", but it's well worth it.

It does look very tempting.

Owned a few basses over the years, including Fenders, and Fender derivatives. Currently don't own either, and quite happy with what I have.

Breadvan - Budgie

Brother Sun, Sister Moon - Donovan

If I Had a Hammer - Trini Lopez

Snot green.

I, The Witchfinder - Electric Wizard

The Jean Genie - David Bowie

Got to agree with @BigRedX, and say that you need to work on a sound that works for you and/or the band/musical project. Try and approach building a new sound as if you've just got a new rig. Find an amp/cab sound you're happy with, tweak it till sounds how you want it, then start adding effects. If your core sound isn't right, then you're not going to be happy until it does. Adding some IR's might help getting the sounds you're after. Bought some Celestion IR's, and they've made a massive difference.

The Years Without Light - GWAR

Mr Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra

You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive

I'm making the assumption that the rest of the band are feeling the same way about the situation? If you haven't discussed it together, it's time to have a band meeting. If they feel the same way, then sack the current singer. If they don't feel the same, then walk away. Or stick around and pander to the singer...

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
