    I bought some stuff from him through the ads here, but didn't realise he was the real one. Thought it was just a pseudo. 🤣 That said, he's a nice guy to deal with and write to (as I didn't talk to him).

    Mark had only two.

    Very well thought and made bass. GLWYS.

    Mama is making terrific good pickups and especially (quite) direct drop in replacement pickups for basses like yours, the Yamaha TRB's (excellent) or Alembic. I'm not affiliated to them, but here is a link : https://www.mamapickups.com/it/shop/altri-bassi.html

    Or how to kill Lemmy twice ! A real shame to do such business on corpses... Ace of Spades is a brilliant album, no need for unreleased songs. If they were unreleased, I think there might be a good reason, no ?

    Did you just land here from another planet ?!?

    Isn't it on hold ?

    So somebody has been fooled. 😁

    Again sorry, but I'm using these strings for decades now and I have a perfect intonation on each and every note on all my basses which are mainly sixers. That said, I really fine tune my set up. I'm also mainly a fretless player with uncompromising ears. All the persons who have received instruments from me are always amazed by my perfect set up. So I deeply think it's a false problem linked to approximate set up.

    Thanks for the long answer, but I'm speaking about exposed cores, not tapered strings...
  11. Hellzero
    A piano string is an exposed core : do you hear any weird overtones ? Rotosound pioneered the Piano String Design which is an exposed core string and LaBella, Galli and Fodera propose some sets too. I've used these kind of strings for decades without any problem, except for the dead A string by LaBella some 20 years ago which is a known fact. I've also used tapered strings without any problem. The length of the exposed core or the tapered part has no impact on the sound or strange behaviour... Think piano strings and you'll understand.

    It's a fiver... 🤣

    If your instrument is properly and perfectly set up with correctly fitted strings, you won't hear any strange overtones, but a perfect intonation. Yes, most people can't fit strings correctly, nor set up their instruments : it's a fact. I'm using LaBella Super Steps and Fodera Anthony Jackson exposed cores strings to this purpose : a perfect intonation.

    This is the Chinese copy, horrible gloss finish, and awful knobs placement. Somebody's been fooled.
  15. Hellzero
    Can't agree more, but do they hurt ?

    He looks like Percy JONES, indeed ! If it's a recent photo...
  17. Hellzero
    Nice ad. 🤣 GLWYS.

    Too much Oban in Oban, certainly...

    I want a bad reCaptcha reputation too. Looks very hype !

    Should you prefer a P-Bass pickup instead, I'll offer you this one :

    @Chris2112 No, I didn't contact the seller. That said it will be a sixer fretless (defretted) coming...
  22. Hellzero
    He he, knowing Manne basses for decades as I played one in a shop back in the day, I was also about to buy this one at this very slim price. I ended up buying another sixer fretless from Italy that I'm awaiting in the next days. Manne basses are quite unknown outside of Italy indeed. But once you've played one, you know these are high end instruments. I always liked their look and craftsmanship too. Their sound has something organic that is hard to describe. That said Dominique Di Piazza is French. 😉 Good pick @Chris2112 ! PS : It would be nice if you removed your black background for the text as it's quite aggressive to the eyes. 😎

    Top notch work. 👍
  24. Hellzero
    Yep sounds fat indeed and nice too with the right amount of harmonics. Well done Harry.

    Number 3 is my favourite. I hate number 4 which seems to act like a flanger at the same time. I'm using a JAM Pedals Waterfall, maybe it's in there too.
