Y'all should check out the Sonuus Wahoo. It does literally everything. Everything can be edited/customised, and the software is pretty easy to use once you get going. I just guess their marketing just isn't great? I've got one and it's an awesome pedal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RusRDyCT3W8&t=638s

I'd just be quite intetested in a shortscale Jag with a mudbucker and nice bridge pickup! Looks like a neat bass in it's own right

On the gear front, and in consideration that he's now in the warm embrace of the Fender custom shop, I'm suprised he hasn't gone with some kind of stereo/Rick-o-sound thing on the basses rather than splitting his output signal via crossovers and various Pog-type pedals. [/quote] I guess he's quite happy with his pedalboard set up, and he'd still need a switch to mute the various channels anyway, so it's just more cables hanging off your bass in the end! It'd be interesting, if they did do a dual output, if they could built a POG into the one of them, with maybe a killswitch? Could run off a 9V like an active bass. It just gets complicated haha!

Just wondered if anyone had noticed Mike's new Fender Jaguars? Looks like a wide-range humbucker as per their telecaster bass models with an extra bridge pup on the red model. Would be very interesting if they made a signature model. Shortscale Jag with a mudbucker. The black sparkle finish is the rather nice too!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1483352179' post='3206356'] The very same. Quite expensive but worth every penny IMO. There is a whole thread on them somewhere. [/quote] [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1483353045' post='3206368'] I've used roundwounds, flats and harf-rounds on my G&L's and Stingrays and have now abandoned the rounds completley. I mention both basses because both are really good at cutting though in the mix and therefore retain some of that "zing" quality. Having said that you will need to be willing adjust your EQ settings to dial it back in. Also I can get half rounds to sound like roundwounds but flats will always sound like flats IMHO It is also worth noting that flats can vary a great deal. Fenders start fairly bight but then darken a bit with time, the Ernie Balls that I have on my L1505 are quite dark sounding and give a great dubby sound. If you want to retain the ultimate zing go for half-rounds. Chromes or Rotosounds flats that are at the brighter end of the scale and very consistent over time. Have fun!

[/quote] Thanks for the knowledge guys! The Thomastiks sound great but I think I'm leaning towards the Slinky Flatwounds on the G&L for the extra top-end for those gospel-groove times. Thomastiks on the P-bass though, mmm... This guy's got me pretty convinced.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1483289689' post='3205959'] Go a for a set of EB Cobalts, best of both worlds. [/quote] These ones? https://www.ernieball.com/guitar-strings/bass-strings/slinky-flatwound-electric-bass-strings#P02812 They look pretty good!
