    Well, they’re on, and TBH not at all what I was expecting. La Bella suggest their Superpolished strings are somewhere between a round and a flat;, but to me these sound and feel squarely in the realm of roundwound. On a quick first noodle they feel almost sticky under the fingers, and at least as rough as the D’Addario nickel rounds that they replaced. In sound, they’re super zingy. I mean, really bright. I know they’re polished stainless strings so maybe this is on me, but from the description I’d expected something like some well played nickels, but these sound just like, well, new stainless rounds. The zingiest strings I’ve used were DR Stainless High Beams and these remind me of those, both in sound and feel. So, initial impressions are mixed. I’ll take the bass with them on to rehearsal at the weekend and update then. For now, I think it’s a case of slightly confused messaging with the marketing!

    You knew I would, didn't you? Dave Brown's bass part from the same tune, 'Oye Como Va' from the 1970 Santana record 'Abraxas'. Probably the version most of us heard first. It's also the easiest to read and to play. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/oye-como-va-santana/

    Thanks very much. There's only 0.055" difference between by "slim" and "Clubby" Jazz neck but it's surprising how much difference that makes to teh way they feel!

    This may have been tried before but the two parts of the P pickup make a humbucker. Have you tried rotating one piece through 180 degrees?
  12. Chris Hales
    That's a uesful tip - I didn't know special options were available and I am more drawn to the Stingray body than I am the Sterling.
  13. Chris Hales
    I have to say my Stingray has a very comfiortable neck and it is very enjoyable to play - but I always end up wishing it was just that touch narrower. I'll check out Bass Gallery and Bass Bross - thanks for the pointer.

  15. dave74200
    I hate changing my strings and have consequently had the same ones on both my basses for about two years. I dislike the zingy bright sound new strings give and am wondering if I should just go to flatwounds? Any advice?

  20. Lozz196
    Yes the Barefaced 12s range are very clear & flat sounding, the 10s being more vintage and having a thicker sound. The low mids on your amp are at 380, whereas to me for what your describing I’d be looking at adding anywhere from 100 to 250 so maybe add in a cheap graphic eq to see if you can achieve what you want, should give an idea of where to move forwards.
  21. Lozz196
    Yeah not fun at all, just as you get your brain sorted as to really knowing yourself and your life bits start stopping working or falling off, bah 😠

    The P is a humbucker, you shouldn't be getting a big level of noise at all. Wire the pickup straight to the jack. See if there's still buzz. If it's clean, add in each pot at a time. Questions: is the new shielding connected to ground? Do you have dimmer switch lighting? Have the terminals of the pickups had the solder touched up?
  27. AATB
    Yes, the body wood is ash. The strings on this bass are the Marcus Miller Dunlop Super Brights. Regular gauge. The weight is 4kg

    Sorry, not read the whole thread but most of the gigs I do are deps. In short, you turn up with an ireal book and make music by having a collective insight into what you are there to achieve. It's done by a knowledge of tunes, obviously, but also of idioms, certain groove types, predictable figures, instinct, nods, winks, eye contact, chord charts, dots and little bit of luck and fairy magic. You won't be able to busk Bohemian Rhapsody but there are a million songs that you can put together at the drop of a hat. I remember one gig with a singer a drummer I had never met and a guitar player I worked with often. Before the first note, our chats revealed that I didn't know a single tune they were going to do. As we approached the stage, I was listening to the first tune on my phone, much to the singer and drummer's alarm. We knocked it out of the park and it was one of the best gigs they had ever done. It's a mix of knowledge, competence and intuition. I have done hundreds of gigs like this (it has got to the point where a single rehearsal is actually inhibiting). It doesn't always work (but it is usually 'good enough' but, when it works, it can inspiring.

    Wonder if the BOD sensitivity is the same issue as with their initial VBO run - really chattery. They fixed it by adding a resistor at the input somewhere.
