La Bella 760FLs are my P Bass string of choice 43 - 104 flatwound Tension slightly less than an equivalent gauge roundwound but not as floppy as TI Jazz Flats.

A huge bug bear of mine, personally. Surely if the strings aren't aligned perfectly, this makes a difference in how they vibrate in the magnetic field - e.g. a string directly over a pole piece will vibrate differently than a string centred between two pole pieces due to different magnetic properties applying in each example. I've always admired Sadowsky for their consistency in alignment

Did a fresh install of HX Edit and it seems to have solved the problem, guess it might have been the drivers or summat!

Anyone else having issues with the new 2.92 update? HX Edit isn't finding my device and when it does, it crashes when I click on a patch. Very frustrating!

Great tone! Love that flatwound clank

Hey all Simple really - do you use a compressor for your live gigs, either in pedal format or as part of a preamp on an amplifier etc? I get the theory behind it but I’ve never felt I needed one. Looking forward to your responses Danny

This to me is the main advantage of modern bridges. Hard to see how this wouldn't impact, however marginally, on sustain.

Most isolated bass parts I've heard have some timing issues, even the very best of players make them and leave them in. The antithesis of the modern midi/quantize approach

I think it sounds great!

It's nonsense. Been exposed too many times to Mark King-alikes ruining songs and pleasant Saturday afternoon trips to the music shop. Slap bass was last played tastefully in 1979.

What's your budget? A Jazz or P Bass with flats would be my first thought

Yeah the Metro Express models specifically. The Metroline models are great!
