what gauge TI flats please
-
nicely done. I'll check out prices
-
I dont want any more tension on the JMJ, I just want to P bass to feel nice. I have some cheap Olympia flats on it 45-105 and they're way to stiff. I used it at a gig and had to put it down after 2 numbers and went to the JMJ. How do they feel on the Classic 50s P bass
-
I love the fender long scale flats that come as standard on the JMJ Mustang I would like to have similar on a P bass I have. How would the same strings feel on a P bass. My yard stick here is, Rotosound RS66 swing bass, on all my P basses. Tension is fine 45-105 on the rounds I'd like a similar tension to the Rotos please, without buying hundreds of sets I ask because I have joined a new band doing Americana stuff. I'll use the JMJ but would like a P bass backup with flats (I have plenty of P basses with rounds) TIA you fantastic lot

La Bella Deep Talkin' flats on StingRay?
police squad replied to StingRayBoy42's topic in Accessories and Misc
I have DTB on my Hofner. They make a great thud but they do make my fingers sore. The Fender flats on my Mustang JMJ don't hurt my fingers at all. The La Bellas seem higher tension to me -
is that you Chienmortbb?
-
the socket is the headphones socket on the Allen and Heath desk TIA
-
so to be clear here, is the top one going to be ok with the P2. Will I get stereo from it please? I take it it's a cable that I can buy easily TIA

I have one of these limited edition CT basses from 2012. Only 60 of these were made. I put LaBellas on it and it goes thud. Lovely -
got mine on amazon for about 45 quid iirc
-
as far as I know, the Sue Ryder basses were from JHS (John Hornby Skewes). I know the MD there and he told me about them. It upset a few people that they did it. Good luck to 'em, that's what I think

I had a fretless maple board P bass neck from eyparts a few years ago. Dots in the wrong place (but I knew that) and I still have it. Not a bad neck at all and it was cheap too
-
love a bit of shell pink me
-
me too. It changes everything and I find it a lovely feeling. I don't need to do it now. I do it because I want to and it's good. No more 2nd rate anything for me now. No d!ckheads or wannabees. and I also love a weekend off too. Be energized by your new thing, it's great feeling too
-
thankyou, ordered just now

Things that manufacturers have done....
police squad replied to bass_dinger's topic in General Discussion
there was a FB thread on the Vintage guitars and basses site, about what new models would we like to see. I asked for a Sting type P bass, reliced etc. I got a T shirt and gig bag for my idea but sadly, they havent made one yet. I would have bought one for my Police tribute, so that I didnt have to take my Bravewood out all the time -
so on friday and saturday I tried the comply tips. Better than the silicon but I didn't think to squeeze them first (I used to use earplaugs on my motorbike and always squeezed them)so they weren't perfect. I will try again BUT I have a sodding ear infection now. It's really quite unconfortable. can't sleepon that side as it's so painful. Will phone the Dr this morning i had a couple of isues Friday nght with the lead falling out of the P2. (I trod on it a couple of times) Sorted on Saturday by looping the lead round my belt first. I do stand by 'it's a game changer though' ATM I just hook straight to the headphone out on the desk. It gives me the FOH mix (backing tracks/keys/guitar/vocals) which works on all levels for me. I can hear perfectly where ny voice sits in the mix. My keys partner wants the same mix, so I bought a stereo splitter. Stereo to two x stereo output splitter. Amazon rubbish. It was stereo to left and right mono but labelled as stereo t 2 x stereo splitter. Any ideas folks where to get what I need

HW builds lovely replicas. If I wanted an R bass, I would buy HW

Do you know how many basses etc you own
police squad replied to Ralf1e's topic in General Discussion
I have an exel spreadsheet of my basses and guitars. I also have an exel spreadsheet of the sold ones. (it's very large lol) AND I have all my current one's serial numbers (this is mega important) Recently I sold three on my 'Police/Sting basses' and a Rickenfaker, which leaves me 26. My GAS has gone these days, I have literally lost interest in gear, unless it's something to help what ever band I'm in. Recent purchases are inears bits and pieces. I do have a Brian May Super on order (these are the expensive production Red Specials, with the proper trem) and I recently bought a signed Red Special (it was a promotion through BMG guitars to punters who had seen Queen on tour. I will hang it on the music room wall when the rest of my house is finished) -
I use an ipad in my 80s duo and band. It has the backing tracks on it that we use and the words. I gave up learning words years ago because I don't need the hassle. I work in a demanding job full time. I mostly know the words but do need some help sometimes. Over 100 songs in my duo set alone means it can be weeks before I sing a certain song. The other night (happens occasionally) a drunk person fixated on the ipad, shouting that he's reading the words and pointing at it. This went on for about three songs. So i said, it's like having someone watching me whilst I'm having sex (and i laughed) Then i confessed to the car accident that I had 15 years ago, on the M25, when I was crashed into by an HGV, twice. (not a word of a lie, it really hurt. I was stationary and it piled into the back of me at about 30 mph, I head butted the windsecreen twice and didn't know what day it was for about half an hour) and I explained the crash has affected my memory a bit.They left me alone after that But when I saw Seal, supporting Duran Duran a few years ago, he had his words on an auto cue on the floor, that looked like a monitor. Lulu had some words on a music stand when I saw her. there's a lot of it about. If you can remember them all, you are really lucky. I'm 54 now and have been gigging since 1986. I do remember a lot of words but not all of them It's not a crime😃

I tried my KZ10s with the P2 on saturday night. A bit of a game changer really. I have ordered a set of these foam tips as the silicon ones aren't great
-
when you say 'push fit', do you mean you can push them in by hand. When I've installed the ferrules into headstock I usually use a fly-press and so the hole needs to be slightly smaller than the ferrule, so that it can't rattle loose
-
you could always order one online and if you don't like it, you can return it
