  1. I've been using Rotosound flats and had no issues.I suspect that the rust is due to poor storage environment or the string was exposed to liquid etc. I only use EB strings for guitar but never noticed rust issues from a new pack. But noticed that B and high E do go rusty after a shortish usage despite my house not having damp issues. I never wipe my strings though after playing.

    strings

    I use Ernie Ball 2221 or 2222 feel soft to me.
  3. They are easily disabled without damaging them. All I need is a cable.
  4. I bought a bass from a basschatter and he prepared a proof of sale receipt. We exchanged them with our signature. You are quite right to do so.
  5. Can anyone recommend headphone cable as replacement? Thanks
  6. I don't go out often, but when I go out the pub is packed for gigs.
  7. In my opinion it looks untidy. I prefer cables out of sight.
  8. You mean a strropy teenager straining on the potty.
  9. When I read the title, Axl Rose come up in my mind. I don't know why though.
  10. I've never used a compressor in a live situation as I don't gig anymore. BUT I used my Peavey BW combo on stage as a teenager and it had a compression knob which made it louder when cranked up. I didn't know back then what it was and neither I'm an expert nowadays. I use compression post recording gently and own a TC electronics spectracomp which I occasionally use as an effect. Tbh I wouldn't care less what an average Pub goer would think and with pubs accoustics I couldn't tell if a bass player switched one off.
  11. I unplug the laptop when I record. It solved my problems.Ibought behringer hd400 but was useless so I sent it back. Ola Englud recommends this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003PJ6NPO/?tag=dnulgn-20
  12. Thanks for your in depth reply. This sounds quite complex. I've been mixing and recording with headphones and my hearing now suffers. I'll give acoustic panels a go and see how I get on.Thanks again.
  13. Great post @Skol303 I'll be hopefully getting a music room, but these traps will make the room smaller. As you pointed out to Jus lukin, 2" thickness wouldn't help with the low end but it's better than nothing. What else would you recommend. Would egg boxes be of any use as a starring point? Thanks. The room will have laminate floor and Persian style carpet in the middle. Two walls joining together one window each.
  14. I have the same issue and the behringer box want back to Amazon promptly. The way I tackle ground loop is this. When I record , I pull out the jack end of the power source for the laptop. This instantly kills the ground loop. I plug it back in when I listen to track or mix/master/edit. Someone recommended this. I have not tried it.
  15. This looks very similar to the one I have. Mine has Made in Japan on neck plate but still can't find a solid answer what it is despite several constructive suggestions by b chatters. But it sounds awesome and is a keeper. It feels heavy nearly like my Japanese p bass Steve Harrris sig.
  16. I replaced the stock pick ups on my Squier CV jazz bass with Seymour Duncan pick ups. It can sound very growly when I want to. Very versatile bass.
  17. Did he beat it or is he sticking around?
  18. Fingers, but lately started writing trash metal songs and find the pick style playing cut through better without too much eq.
  19. I'm not sure if Steve Harris used Marshall amps. Possibly during his early amateur days. He uses Marshall cabinets fitted with EV though. They look pretty old and battered from touring. I saw them from about 5 metres distance. His amps were trace Elliot, hiwatt, recently ish endorsed by Orange. He is not a tech.when it comes to his gear unlike other bassist. He's more into engineering side and production.
  20. Good read. I've only started playing with a pick not that long ago.
  21. This was my first ever bass in 1989.It was blue/green. I wish I still had it 😐 Here is a screenshot I found.
  22. I have the same colour scheme in Squier CV jazz.
