Definitely, I think I’m just so used to Precisions in the mix that anything else both sounds wrong to me and it’s me not being able to get the best out of them that’s the problem. I mean, listen to Deon Estus on Whams Club Tropicana, awesome sound.

This is something I’ve done repeatedly over the years.

Wow!!

Agree, it’s difficult to get past this

Just got home from a Spacewasters rehearsal. We only rehearse when we’ve a gig looming (2 in fact, in the next couple of weeks, both at The Water Rats in Kings Cross) just to refresh a bit. Our new guitarist is fitting in well, both guitarists working this eve on sounds and who does which lead bit etc. Plus me and both guitarists now doing backing vocals so a lot stronger in that dept which is good. Bass was JMJ Mustang into the studios - I think - Laney stack of amp/410/115, sounded great. In this band I tend to go for a more traditional supporting bass sound which I prefer to the up front/listen to me sounds I’ve had previously.

Do Yamaha BBs look too Precisiony, if not def worth checking out.

Excellent news, tell all, what type of band?

What sort of life do you get from these, do they last as long as flats?

It’s over there, between the land and the sky!

What?

It’s just something I’ve always done, works well enough so I’ve stuck with it, I find any longer on E & A and there isn’t enough room on the tuning pegs anyway.

That’s some good news Steve

I cut mine at 12cm for D & G 11.5cm for A 11 for E

Eagerly awaiting your verdict

I`m in agreement with the "support bigger bands" theory, better to try to sell to 500 of someone elses fans and make them your own, as long as it`s similar music styles there`s a reasonable chance of picking up sales as a result.
