    Lovely looking bass, and great sound clip. Really dig your playing. Bass has a lovely sound to it... and it looks so unusual.

    Just a heads up - BC haven't 'endorsed' this promotion in any way - although we'll let it stay here we weren't asked about it beforehand so as others have said, be careful!

    Although I think my Vigier bass is very flexible and suitable for most things, it's since I installed the Vbass pickup that I can truly call it a 'Swiss Army Knife' as it now does a perfect MM, Jazz and P bass impression too (those of you at the SEBB a few years ago would have heard it) I agree that a lot of the sound is in the playing but you simply can't create a MM sound with a P bass and vice versa, so it's nice to have them on tap. ped

    [quote name='40hz' timestamp='1437860643' post='2829653'] I found that using nickel strings on my Flea really helps it. It softens up the sound somewhat. You still get that searing clarity but with a rounder edge. SS strings really enhance the treble/top end, which this bass has no small amount of naturally anyway!! [/quote] Elixir Nickels, for this exact reason

    [quote name='lee4' timestamp='1437684565' post='2828271'] Well,I tried the method................nada! I did notice that it says I have used 31.52MB of my 30MB upload quota! [/quote] Hi there In that case you can clear some room. Go to your name in the top right, then click 'my settings' then 'manage attachments' Will check tomorrow and make sure you've got it sorted! Cheers

    I play in D all the time and use light strings. I love the lower tension and the clank you can get from digging in. I thought about getting a D tuner to drop the D to a B and even thought about putting one on the A string too. Floppiness aside, would a standard D tuner drop a D to a B? Or an A to an E?

    Time for a 'Show us yer' graphite' thread? Edit: Graphite basses, not any other graphite you might own, like pencils
  9. ped
    There's a consistency and a sort of compressed clarity that I love about graphite necks. Personally I prefer them, especially their stability. If you're making a bolt on it would be interesting to try both. I had both on a Stingray and the graphite one stayed on. My main bass has a graphite neck and no truss rod so it's lucky it suits me as it hasn't, and can't be adjusted!

    [quote name='goblin' timestamp='1436191895' post='2815769'] I moved from DR to Elixir and thought they were great, problem is that they don't fit Warwick bridges particularly well! Whilst I was willing to shoehorn one onto my old Streamer, there's no way I was gunna do it to the SS1 or the Infinity... funnily enough, I'm back on DR now! [/quote] Interesting - is that due to the bridge break angle? How do the DRs differ, are they those exposed core types?

    Hehe give it time!

    Personally I'd never have a custom made for me.

    Any takers for the last two sets?
  14. ped
    Hi guys Recently Elixir Strings ran a competition for some BC members to try their strings. This thread is for the feedback from the tests conducted. Winners have been asked to place feedback here but if you are reading this and didn't enter the comp - or did and didn't win, and you use Elixir strings, I'm sure any extra feedback would be interesting too. Cheers ped P.s Feedback will start to arrive in a week or so as the strings are being sent out at the moment

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1434482209' post='2800076'] Have you kept them below room temperature? [/quote] It's possible that the Elixirs have melted into one big string, yes
  20. ped
    Yeah I can't really do anything nowadays without slipping into Partridge. I was so pleased to be able to say 'I'm not driving a mini metro' a few weeks ago in a real life situation.

    Correction - the seller has 'been' disappeared
  24. ped
    I understand that it's not for everyone, but it does work out in the end for most people. Whilst you pay upfront there's no time limit to sell the item, there's no final fee and you get to sell it within a dedicated and passionate community. Being a member for the forum and just chatting about basses is just as welcome so it's all cool IMO ped

    No problem I tend to deal with several payment problems a week and I always sort people out almost immediately. Because it happens largely by email/PM, people don't see how busy I am with my A* customer service Oh and it's been like that since day 1, no matter how much the company is 'worth' - even though we're not the 'Chat Partnership' any more. Cheers ped
