    They look amazing, did the humbucker do a convincing Musicman impression? 

    Yes! Slightly bassy, but pretty much there if you cut the bass a bit. Maybe add a bit of mid. But the zingy-ness of it is pretty much nailed.

    Are Elixir’s worth it?!

    It's my first time trying them this month. So far so good. I used to use Dunlop Super Brights Stainless Steels, but at max they only last me 2-3 gigs. I only had 1 gig so far though but I haven't heard any fading brightness or change in tone. Not the same feel as what I'm used to but not bad either, just different.

    Disappointing experiance with new basses.

    I pretty much gave up trying basses on big music shops. No matter how I wanted to try a specific bass. I  find that the setup is just rubbish. Well of course as some people have already pointed out that it's different for specialised shops like Bass Direct and The Bass Gallery.  

    I've seen this US Geddy Lee which for the longest time I'm so curious about but when I tried it in a bigger shop in Birmingham, I was just disappointed. I know it's only a setup but it kills your keen-ess towards the instrument.

    For me, DR Hi Beams are the longest lasting round around. Having you tried using something like Fast Fret before and after you play?

    Been using Hi Beams before Dunlop. I think they last just a bit longer but for the price I moved to Dunlops. Might give them a go again. I have tried them Fast Frets before but to no avail.

    Guessing you’re using a five string? I can recommend Elixir strings - they could be the perfect solution for you. They do a .45-.130 set but also sell single .125 strings. They aren’t cheap but they last forever. I’ve got sets over a year old! 

    Yes. Doh!! Never even considered that they might do single strings! I had a look recently and I thought I give them a go but the 130 b string put me off. Now that you mentioned that... 😂

    Have you tried leaving some silicon gel sachets in your base case? The one's that you find in most electronic goods packaging. They effectively "suck" any excess moisture from the air, and are small, so ideal for leaving in your instrument case instead of throwing them straight in the bin.

    Worth a try.

    I have, but perhaps I need some extra ones as the ones I have are just those packs that came with the cases.

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to try some new sets of strings. I mainly play Dunlop Super Brights Stainless Steels 45-125. I love them, the tone, the feel. Only problem is I sweat excessively to a point that I think I have hyperhidrosis (although not officially diagnosed). The brightness at max, only lasts me around 2-3 gigs. I tried wiping it clean every after song or so but still doesn't make a difference. So looking for something new to try.

    My only requirements are the gauge should be 45-125 and should be stainless steels.

    Open for suggestions of what brands or even any alternatives that I can do to prolong the life of my set.

    Thanks! Happy holidays everybody!

    I happened to  be near Bass Direct on Wednesday and popped in to have a play on a couple of 5 string basses, just to see how I got on. One was a TRB1005. It just sounded great, definitely a player's bass.

    I'm not in the market for anything, but if I was this would be high on the shorlist.

    GLWTS 👍

    Defo. Flat setting on the EQ and it sings. I can't praise it enough. Packs a punch higher than its price tag!
