I went with the extra lights. I'd read on another forum the heavier gauge were primarily for drop tunings ( not sure of the validity of that claim.) Unfortunately I put them on a new bass which is a Xmas present - it was confiscated 5 minutes after the set up so didn't get a chance to test them to make a proper opinion sound wise but they sounded great through the Spark Neo and certainly good enough to want to put them on other higher end basses

And sound it too!

I played there a few years back, great venue. Afterwards the rest of the band got tear-gassed by the police when outside for a (very inefficient it turned out) breath of fresh air.

Nice one. How did you manage to get that gig ? Bet the drive home was a bummer 😂 Dave

Guaranteed they make it some FOMO rush to buy an expensive Epiphone. The natural is far nicer. Guess less chance of getting one. They are pricey and my god, HEAVY!

Most likely everybody knows that NS means Ned Steinberger, the designer of the bass. The first basses were available with two pickup brands (the other was DiMarzio) and with 1 or 2 pickups. NS-1 was the first unit (1 meant 1 pickup).

All well and good, but... what about the sound? Flatwounds tend to have issues with cross string consistency; how are these. BTW, which set did you buy?

You Can Get It If You Really Want - Jimmy Cliff Too slow, ignore me 😁

Those robotic autotuner things.. what the actual 🤯 guitarist leaves amp on and robot tunefail commences. kill them with fire.

Got the box together, put the driver in to see how it sounds. Disappointing! Loud as hell, but very bass-heavy to the point of woolly. But that’s ok, as there is still work to do (aside from making it pretty) 1. The port was bought, and is a cm or two short. I will extend it with something suitable. 2. I will also stick wadding to the inside (I’m sure I can hear a difference). 3. I think some additional bracing would help, too. There’s just about space to put one on the baffle between the driver and port at a 45 degree angle. 4. I also have a bit of tecsound deadening material left over from the studio to stick to the back panel. I didn’t fancy a normal backplate (why make life easy for myself?) so I recessed the Speakon. Quite like it. The top-mounted handle is a bit big, or the feet I bought for the amp are a bit short. Will have to purchase bigger feet.

Thats a lovely clean Precision Pow, the rout would not bother me either, out of sight out on mind. Your health to enjoy it

He really is in the pocket on that album...Lovely rich tone as well.
