Raggy Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 As the title, anyone tried this? Am very close to getting P Retro and wondered if it would be of any benefit. Quote
franzbassist Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 My 70P fretless has a P Retro with La Bella flats. Works really well together. Quote
paul_5 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 +1, my blade 5 string has Ernie Ball flats and a J retro - lovely sound(s). Quote
franzbassist Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Very quick audio of my P with flats using the P Retro. I recorded this using my new Zoom Q3HD on audio only and mistakenly had it set on auto, which means the levels jump a bit, but hopefully it'll give you an idea.

Twigman Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I use XL chromes with my P-retro....works nicely. Quote
