Paul S Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Thank you Pretty reasonable, if it is an issue. I was hoping you'd say 5kg and cure the GAS at a stroke 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly everyone has their own taste and people like what they like but I'm amazed that you've never once shown a photo of something that I haven't gone "crikey that's nice, I'ld like that". @ped - initially found your post on Talkbass and was interested in your search for flats. Tempted to stick flats on the L1000 which will be the first time I've tried flats. Pricey thing to try lots of things though. TI flats seem to be well regarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying the Cobalts - although I wanted low tension, I think what makes the biggest difference to me is actually the gauge of the string, and I didn't know you could get flats in 0.040 so they feel great to me. They make my fingers smell cobalty too which is a sort of bonus, makes me feel like T1000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like Leo things and tend to prefer older models. So Fender, Musicman (including early EB) and G&L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not played a more ‘alive’ bass - he wants more for it than I can justify but if I won the lottery that I don’t enter.... that and an El toro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Here she is with her sister. It just occurred to me that I'm basically Freddie Washington now (he plays a Smith and P bass). Need a new passport soon anyway so it'll basically be easier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybeevee Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Any consensus on older Vs newer SB-1s..? similar tone, feel etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know to be honest - there doesn't seem to be any consensus but it appears neck profiles changed as have the hardware components - I think the earlier models with the crackle finished anodised parts look the best personally... there's a thread on TB about the changes during which years but its's not very clear. I think the main differences are things like no longer tilt neck, plastic pick guard, different headstock, rosewood fingerboards... not an expert but we all know Leo liked to change things now and then. There certainly doesn't;t seem to be a 'pre CBS' equivalent cut off point or anything like that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
