Has anyone tried the Pyramid strings? The vid makes the Ubass sound like a useable bass guitar. I do realise that this kind of defeats the object of having the pahoehoes (which I love), but I might have to get another for the pyramid strings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JzF-5k0pog

[/quote] I had one of those. It was the bomb. Even the presets were good. I could see endless possibilities. All of which were way beyond my programming ability.

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1339667957' post='1692191'] I think you're confusing High/Low impedance (HiZ, LoZ) with high and low level inputs. You really don't want to load a passive pickup with a LoZ input. If by "fuller" you mean lacking in high frequencies, then yes a low impedance input will achieve that. [/quote] See above for explanation.

Ignore this post. I am a doofus!

Is it just plain old fashioned headroom? A big power supply can just deliver. You can go as fast as you are legally allowed to in an original VW Beetle. You can bet it will be more comfortable in a new Bentley. I picked up the TF750 that was on here recently to try one. Tragically I have not managed to plug it in yet

There is no way she would have that level of hand and voice co-ordination going on. Blimey!

Obv not a natural bassist.

I paid and it came. It was well packed and easy. What more do you need to know?

[quote name='RonM' timestamp='1337204553' post='1657237'] I'm currently using a set of weedwhacker synthetic gut strings that I got off eBay. [/quote] Do you have a link? Thanks

There really is not much that is nicer than a nice piece of wood!

I heard that they had to change their name to play in NYC. That might be an apocryphal story.

Sorry, I keep meaning to do pictures. I am by now driving it with an AI Clarus+. 800w @ 4ohms. It is just superb with my DB. I could not be happier. I have a Thunderfunk sitting in the wings waiting to be put through it's paces. I will report back before the end of the year.

Been pretty busy with the bumped Honeys last couple of weeks. It has become clear that for me when it is time to ramp it up that the bass just cannot give like it can at normal tension. Of course, you all know this but it is new to me so I am just noting it.

Did a fairly loud gig on Sunday night, all ready to bring the reverb/delay/phase creation I had created to the masses. In the soundcheck it became clear that the table of my bass was acting like a diaphragm for my pickup and the 9 foot Steinway to my right and the kit to my left were spilling all over my sensitive FX. Back to the drawing board
