On a P, DR Lorider 110 (Steel) sound really nice for Rock. The mentioned Elixirs good be also a good choice for you, are they available in 110? If you want to try bright flats, or better the advantage of flatwound strings with the sound of rounds you should try(cheap) d´angelico smooth rounds. I tested a lot of strings and those d`angelico are now my favourite ones

[quote name='TheGreek' post='1189384' date='Apr 5 2011, 06:54 PM']Apologies Neepheid - our transaction went as we agreed - I have no complaints about what was a speculative deal - sale or return - goods were returned in good order. Ours is not one of the deals I was referring to...[/quote] So maybe we could all summon in a circle, take each others hands and sing :"We all love BC!We all love bass"?

[quote name='Jakester' post='1189054' date='Apr 5 2011, 03:40 PM']..comparable instruments go for less than you're asking for[/quote] Again, you should go for those [quote name='Soliloquy' post='1189053' date='Apr 5 2011, 03:39 PM']I have to say that, if I make an offer to someone it tends to be low. I'd offer maybe £50 less, expecting them to split the difference and come back at £25 less. Of course I'd hope that they'd accept £50 less .[/quote] In my eyes you can offer what you want and the seller could decline what he doesn`t want. That are the rules of trading. To get a good deal you should try to be sensible,so it will not hurt the seller, as he may has an emotional connection to what he is selling. If i am asking for 1000,- GBP and one is offering me 200 GBP it is no problem for me. It is his right to do this. But when someone lets me believe he is interested in "my" price, let me take actions to make him happy and to clear out his concerns. let me for example investigate on things he wants to know etc etc, i think you know what i mean and after all this, he is offering a price which is not sensible, in my eyes differences are preprogrammed and dissappointment as well. if you all act on both sides, as you like to be treated as well. trading will be no problem..it works well for thousand of years. sometimes better sometimes not..it is all up to you.

I did 3 transactions here before on basschat an all went through very nice and smooth. great community here, great gentlemen to find as well! but through my last for sale thread i am understanding alsothe different experiences here. in detail. i am offering a GL 2000 with a ding. to be honest and not hiding anything i took clear pictures of it. a user contacted me and is a little bit concerned about this ding and asked for closeups with bright light. so i went outside my house in full light and used also flashlight, so he could see this in detail. but to be proactive and clear all misunderstandings out, i also took a video of it, so that he definitely is able to see how it is "in nature" as possible. So he has pictures, detailed pictures, clear pcitures with full light and a high quality video. After this, he offered me 300 Euro, while i was asking for 350 GBP, which is in my oppinion a great deal for the bass.This means, his offer is roundabout 100 GBP less then what i am looking for and what is in fact nearly 30% of a great price!? So after this inpolite offer after my actions to make him happy, i didn`t answer this user again. today there is another gl 2000 offered for 330 GBP and the user contacted me again, telling me about this bass and offering me 300 GBP for the bass. Up to this point everything is no problem for me.But.. I answered word for word this: " Hi, thanks for your offer. You should go for the black one kind regards" Now, i have learned something!!! he answered: "Maybe i will. No need to be a dick about it though" So i am a dick edit: oh i read this afterwards [quote name='Jakester' post='1188987' date='Apr 5 2011, 02:41 PM']Tom, presumably one of those was me. As a buyer (and someone who's bought and sold tens of thousands of poundsworth of drum gear over the years) if someone doesn't put "no offers" or "price is firm" then they're inviting offers. It's not meant to be insulting, but frankly if I can get something for less that the original price, all well and good. I always expect offers, respond positively, and hope to reach an accomodation between both parties. There's another bass on here, I've made a number of offers but it seems the seller has taken the hump, instead of engaging in a dialogue (and saying, nah, XXX is too low, what about YYY), and told me (when I made a comparison between another similar instrument) to go and buy that instead. Fine, you've done yourself out of a sale, no skin off my nose but is there really call for the attitude?[/quote] "but is there really call for the attitude?" This one is great..thanks. I don`t want to offend you personally, but i think it is funny how you see the facts. But please, do not start this as a verbal catfight in our case. Everything is fine to me. And to be honest, to recommend you to go for the cheaper one, is nothing i could see wrong in. all the best to you

[quote name='Telebass' post='1188694' date='Apr 5 2011, 10:59 AM']Not if you value your intervertebral discs... A 2x15 would be my personal choice. If I could lift it... [/quote] Slaves are cheap in times like these You definitely need 2 persons for this and then it is no problem. I think it is healthier to lift a 2x15 by 2, then a 4x10 alone

[quote name='TRBboy' post='1188453' date='Apr 4 2011, 11:37 PM']Just a bit annoying because I can't get the strings to line up directly between the pole pieces on the bridge pickup.[/quote] Do not loose too much time with geometrics. The sound is the only thing that counts and if the bass sounds amazing to you, it doesn`t matter. The laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee should be incapable of flight, as it does not have the capacity in terms of wing size or beat per second to achieve flight, however the bumblebee does not know this... it just flies

You have checked this with another set of strings? They sometimes die, while getting them on and off a bass the difference between string through and topload is so minimal it is just a nuance in attack and sustain

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1187852' date='Apr 4 2011, 04:12 PM']I have no idea what that means.[/quote]

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='1187680' date='Apr 4 2011, 01:51 PM']Okay, I commute daily to and from central London by bus and train. I have had various 'phones in he past on my ipod.What I'm looking for now is something like noise reducing/noise cancelling . Can't really stand the sound of bawling babies etc. Unfortunately my budget can't stretch much more than £80.00 I don't like the in -ear design , but with summer coming , I don't want anything too heavy. Any ideas?[/quote] If you are feeling well with inears, you should try the sennheiser cx300 they sound rich and full(good bass!) and due to those inears, you have the best noise cancelling you will get [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Eco-Ear-Canal-Headphones/dp/B000S8EUNM"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Eco-Ear...s/dp/B000S8EUNM[/url]

Maybe you should adjust the height of the pickups, in my oppinion the most underrated thing to do in a setup. You possibly have chosen the same height than with your pickups before, due to more output they have now more mids. experiment with it, if you screw the pickups more into the body, they get more bass

With my Sunn 300W all Tube Amp, i use live a Sunn 2x15 Cab and for me..it is perfect against the usual oppinion these cabs do not sound dull. As i am a fan of 4x10 cabs (i sometimes use 4x10 neodyme cabs with 1000w), i fell in love from the first tone with this sunn 2x15 cabs. But i just only use the 760Fl, shame on me
