Sold Gary some strings. Fast payment, great comms, all good.

As you'll be using your SansAmp as a pre, you could consider a power amp. No point having two preamps.

Hmm... that's going to need a LOT of sticky.

That's very interesting, thanks for posting.

Maybe I'll give Chromes another go... But I do love the sound and feel of LaBella 760FM. Obviously I need to buy another bass and fit Chromes to it...

Having just put together a Paulownia body Jazz I'd agree. I was toying with the idea of Ronseal Hardglaze which is clear and tough. Apparently.

Yes, they are very bright at first which put me off a bit - also they seemed to be very high tension, which I found a alarming. I like fairly stiff strings, but these were like steel rods. I suppose I like at least a bit of give... don't like them too flexible or floppy, though... fnarr. La Bellas record very well - as you'd expect, given the huge amount of evidence to support that statement!

Or you could buy some new La Bella flats, as used by Jamerson, Duck Dunn et al on many hit records from the 60s and 70s...

Might be worth checking the wiring and seeing if there's anything obviously wrong with it.

What's a You Tube? Sounds like a euphemism to me.

I haven't lost a fair bit of the weight I put on, but haven't lost any hair. So unlike Gilmour, I'm fat and hairy. Also unlike Gilmour, I'm poor.

Be on the safe side, do both.

100%! Tina Weymouth played with Talking Heads and I was in love with her.

Just like Chalfonts!

Yes... we can dream...

Nice. Loving the direct-wired-ness of it all.

Welcome to the low end...
