Came across this problem many years ago in Hi Fi with 4 core Audioquest speaker cable when using it in bi-amp configuration.

Just received a pair of Bi amp speakon cable for my GK rig. Very impressed with the quality and speed of service.

I recently bought this from ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-20-FRET-ELECTRIC-BASS-NECK-J-MODEL-SKUNK-STRIPE-34-MAPLE-WITH-MAPLE-FB-/151922497747?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=7iaxSS9jLoWeSuOORRl6qaZoLzE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Arived quickly and well impressed with it. Nut slots needed filing to depth but that's all.

Can't help wondering if Bilbo has another job. [URL=http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/Daniel-Clifford_zpsu8wjzshy.jpg.html][IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/Daniel-Clifford_zpsu8wjzshy.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1454617487' post='2971443'] Some people even go and buy new strings just because the new zingyness has faded. [/quote] I do this, and always before a gig.

This needs to get above the other please delete thread.

Let me begin with the fact that I have used Rotosound RS66 swing bass 45-105 pretty much exclusively for the last fifteen years. Never been tempted to try anything else. Main bass being a Ric 4001. I also have a variety of other basses all strung with Roto’s. Band is a three piece playing rock, pop covers from the sixties to date. When I first saw this offer I was just about to replace a warped neck on one of my P basses. So I thought it would be ideal to ask for a beta set to put on that and be able to compare the strings with two P basses. Gear used is a Gallien Kreuger Fusion 550 head, an RBH 2x10 and a Neo 2x12. Also using Smoothhound wireless system. New neck fitted at home Daddario strings fitted and bass set up. Strings feel smooth and comfortable and even acoustically I noticed quite a big full sound. Popped bass in gig bag ready to go to practise room next day. Go to practise room, take out bass and plug in. It surprised me but it was still in tune, a good sign. Amp set flat, moderate level and bypassed all effects. Back to P with Roto’s for a short play then back to the NYXL’s. Quite an eye opener (or ear opener). Very full powerful sound, with amazing depth. Sleek and smooth feeling to play compared to the Roto’s. Not that I consider it an issue with them. Continued noodling for a while and sort of forgot that I was comparing strings just really getting into the tonal range I could produce with them. Not the zing and attack that I get with the Roto’s, having said that the Roto’s do lose it quite soon after being new. Note: the Roto’s on the other P were new at this time too. Guitarist turns up and notices that I have the repaired P. We start to have a bit of a jam and then he says “what have you done to it? It sounds amazing”. Would I buy and use these? Yes I would, and be more than happy with them. Will I put them on my Ric, changing from my main sound of many years. Well sort of. In realty I think I will need to buy another Ric so I can have the best of both. [b]A big thank you to Daddario for giving us all this opportunity and giving this stuck in a rut a push to expand his sound.[/b] As a foot note a week later they are still in tune and no noticeable change in tone. Bass left on wall hanger for this interval.

Just bought a case from Paul. Top guy to deal with. Cheers Nic

As suggested above, use an automated bidder, such as Phantombidder.com. Works well for me. The sellers feedback and history look good, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just put in a Phantom bid for the max you're prepared to pay.

That's me in the corner. [URL=http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/REM%20Corner_zpsiubfwj2s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/REM%20Corner_zpsiubfwj2s.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

My Church actually is beaten up and has lots of paint missing.

Me in Cardiff, S Wales. Most things except fret work.

This definition of theft should make things clear. If the Bass in question was "loaned" to the lad, then it has now been stolen. It is still the posession of the father.

I use my best / favourite bass for gigging and take a spare. After all it's what they were made for.

Got mine today too. Will need to wait a while for the new J neck that I have fitted to settle and do a proper set up. However, first impression is good.

Look down the page for this. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/276770-beta-test-daddario-nyxl-bass/ May be your chance to try for free.

This thread is in danger of going more than half way down the front page. Oh wait.......

I'm about to rebuild a P bass with new J neck (P neck warped) and Entwistle pup. 4 string.

Steve Wright should be told that there is some "serious Loggin" going on here.
