    EBCFs are really nice strings with a pretty full voice, and they last a long time. You might also try a set of tapewounds. LaBella makes white tapes that are said to be nice and bright. I had D'Addario black tapes, which are a roundwound steel wrapped with a nylon tape, and they're a nice woody sound with some smack to them. But for a lively flat, my finger finds its way back to pointing at the Cobalt Flats...

    It's handy. It's also powerful enough to play gigs, it sounds good, it's got a very quiet, useable DI. Records well. And I'll say it's solid money that the only person who cares about a better sounding amp is you, not any audience you'll ever play for. It's just a solid little, unremarkable piece. As it happens, this came along down my trail cheap, and I like the simplicity of it. And I can take it out of the little cab it's in and drop it in the gig bag for a jam or recording session, and it's easy to travel with (put it in my shaving kit). Nothing about it is really compelling, but it's about the size of a SanSamp BDDI, which is pretty cool.

    Pardon my re-animating this old thread, but... My Hartke Kickback 12's amplifier started needing service and I had this head sitting on my desk. I had recently swapped out the original speaker of the combo since it had started rattling, and the new speaker (Hartke neo/Hydrive) is 4 ohms, so it draws the full 200w from the Elf. This little Velcro-cobble-together parlor rig has really been working out great for small gigs, acoustic/electric mini-band gigs, rehearsals and small room rock band gigs. I really like the sound, and though it's no Series 6 it does deliver a warm-like, gentle punch and throws really well. I've gotten very positive remarks about it, so it is delivering. This is the best small gig-rig yet, for me.

    Thanks @BassBodfor the Stuart Watson rec, we have corresponded and I'm going to get my tech guy to have a chat with him. At this point the amp has been brought back to the bench, opened up and its contents partially laid out on a piece of plywood... I'm hoping this comes to a happy end soon. I'll post when it's up and running. I'm saving my 135 lb Ampeg PR410HLF for it... 🙂
