[quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1466410343' post='3075525'] Hi Evil Undead, The only short scale set in ProSteels we do is the EPS170S (45-100). This is the brightest sounding string we manufacture in a short scale set. As for the dead sounding E string, have you experienced this on multiple sets? Regards, [/quote] hey! yeah I've had it on every set, but the medium scales on my other bass have been fine across all strings. it's weird. I wish the pro steels were available in short scale 40-95!

You have. They are also pre-order

I did that ages ago but no replies. Too popular right now!

I've been saving for ages for one of these Scott Whitley SWB-1 basses, since they first were introduced at the very end of last year. One came up on the forum recently brand new, didn't have quite enough, so I was aiming for the current run due in July. Just about saved enough, went to the website to order, I've just missed it and July's batch is sold out! Gutted. There's another batch due in September but that's an awfully long time away. Waaaaaaah

Thanks for the advice. What about medium scale steels in extra light?

I didn't turn notifications on. Sorry!

Hey all. I really like d'addario short scale nickels, the 40-95 gauge, for the feel and tension. But they aren't bright enough really and go dead too fast. Plus the E is always kinda dead. Are they any short scale steels in similar gauge?

I play at home only. Used to be in a band and it was fun, but the crap parts for me didn't outweigh the good parts - the drunks falling all over the stage, getting home late at night and unloading gear by myself (woman, living in a rough area, bit scary), playing the same songs every week (band members never wanted to break out of the 70's pub rock stuff that every band plays). Then when the time came that I wasn't really physically capable of it any more, I found that I didn't really miss it that much. Sounds a bit negative haha, but it's a different view at least.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1464693978' post='3061439'] Well, my ideal score would be something like a 2nd hand Overwater (or a Shuker), but there's not many going and this is going to take a bit more saving up: I like G&L, Yamaha and Warwick as 'Mainstream' Brands. [/quote] I love that, what model is it?

That can't be a bass, look at those skinny little strings!

Nice. Shuker basses are great. look forward to seeing the result

I bought Tim's MB200 - great communication, extremely fast delivery, wonderful amp! Absolutely trustworthy bloke, deal with confidence.

Well, lowering that bridge pickup really seems to have helped so much. I'm really grateful for everyone's comments and suggestions let's see how it goes, I might be back in a week with the same issue but so far so good!

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1462266526' post='3041497'] I can recommend the cheaper Hipshot Licensed Import tuners. I fitted a set of these to my Sire V7 5-string and they're superb. One of my other basses has USA Hipshots and the Licensed ones are just as good. [/quote] I'll look into them thanks!
