[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1475570288' post='3146913'] What do you mean? [/quote] After you've brought the string up to tension, slacken it off again but hold the string tight on the tuner as you do it. Sometime you will see that the string has twisted and by releasing the tension you can ensure it's straight when you wind it up again.

I've got Newtone strings on my 33" ACG. The B isn't tapered but the strings are excellent. I believe they can make any custom set you like, so maybe worth an email to them.

I suspect that, even if you could fit a bag in the machine, it wouldn't respond well to doing it. Perhaps just a wipe down with a damp cloth?

I like GHS Precision Flats - a good core tone and nice tension. Pyramids seems to twist easily - re-seat the string a couple of times to make sure there's no twisting. La Bella - give white/copper/gold nylons a try, as they have lovely low tension yet retain that flat character. They can also be quite bright, depending on the flavour you choose. Chromes were far too tight and bright for me.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1475336335' post='3145176'] These would get my recommendation, Mono M80, Mono Vertigo, Protec Contego & Protection Racket 7051. [/quote] I agree with these. Would also add Gator ProGo to the list too.

I assume you've checked that the trim pot inside the bass isn't set too high? Assuming it isn't, then you'll probably need a new bridge from Dino at BSX in the US

Have you actually tried La Bella white nylon flats? Plenty of brightness from them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNdiB2gAUSA Tony Franklin uses DR Sunbeams btw.

It's one of the best looking amps I've seen.

Love 'em. I had this Fylde for a while, which was a lovely thing. Sold it to fund a bass

My Franz fretless. I have owned so many fretless basses, searching for "the one", but this is truly it

Brian and I have just concluded yet another transaction, him buying his old Tecamp Bonafide and Puma 300 amps back from me, plus a Tecamp Dream Buzz Deluxe pedal to boot. As always, a total pleasure to deal with: prompt payment and excellent comms typify how he always works. He's a Basschat legend

Has anyone found out from Mesa which frequencies the "deep" switch is working on?

Very nice. I've always been curious to try a Glock (amp, not gun)

What is the length from the ball end to just past the nut Nick? [url="http://www.bassstringsonline.com/Bass-String-Lengths-by-Manufacturer_ep_47-1.html"]This[/url] will help.

Looks like I'm going to have to dip, as now gigging in darkest Somerset. Sorry guys, have a good one!

Only a month out!

I'd contact Sandberg direct. They are very good on customer service. Delano pickups have been standard in the Sandberg range for a long time, so no reason to assume they are a retro-fit.

This looks great. I was born in '66 and have always fancied a YOB bass.
