Don't dare mention Joe Dart on this forum 😉

I used the 760FL on P and J basses before and honestly I think the slightly lighter gauge of the FLs might feel a little more comfortable than the FS on the Casady, given the position of the pickup which is marginally closer to the bridge than say a neck pickup on a P.

I love mine, bought it a few weeks ago and she's the veteran of 3 gigs so far - all jazz/swing gigs. Put a Hipshot Supertone on it as soon as I got it and finished with a set of my usual La Bella 760FS flats (45-105). I love the 50 setting on the Varitone with the tone control rolled off, just a beautiful plummy tone. I suspect the 500 setting might work better for pop and rock gigs as it seems to have a bit more poke. The neck feels great too. All in all, a wonderful bass for the money.

Anyone tried the new Synth? Sounds good?

I thought number 2 sounded a little thinner, especially on the open notes that were allowed to ring a bit longer. That said, both tones are cool and I would be happy with either! I suspect that the Kiogon loom will last longer and be slightly more robust than the Squier stock loom tho - which is definitely a consideration for a gigging bass.

Didn't they make a Joe Dart H Sterling in black stain? Could be a possibility.

So are we excited by this new bass or?

I think they may have recorded the video in reverse then inverted it. Would be a pretty big undertaking but not impossible. Some of the drumstick patterns look odd too.

Hi all Has anyone seen the latest Fearless Flyers video? Joe seems to be playing an EBMM Dart Sig style bass with two white J pickups in the traditional positions with two white volume knobs. Another sig model on the horizon perhaps?

I notice most strings have increased in price - my usual La Bellas and DRs have both increased by £3 to £4 a set since I last bought them.

I do everything except fret work, but bought four neck blanks recently to practice on.

Hi all Simple question for Epi JC owners - what's on yours? I'm thinking flats or tapes - tempted by my usual La Bella 760FS but might try a set of tapes. Cheers D

I guess it invariably improves your ear!

Maybe from a scientific perspective it isn't 'correct' but to me what's correct is what sounds good

Fender Cabronita

The matte finish on the American necks is simply superb, whereas most of the MIM necks have that thick gloss. Also the rolled edges are a noticeable difference.

I like both rounds and flats on Jazz Basses. DR Lo Rider nickel are my rounds of choice, La Bella 760FS flats!

Which one did you go for in the end, Ander? In the same predicament at the moment myself. Leaning towards Fralin +5% currently!

Check with Line 6 maybe that warranty may be transferable? I would have thought they would honour it as it can hardly be any more than a couple of years old?

Under warranty I assume?

Pitch shift is probably my most used effect on the HX Stomp - it tracks excellently. Worth considering if you like multi effects pedals.
