  1. Nice Noise!...

     

    I'm more the Hawkwind Space Ritual, DOREMI - Motörhead Overkill kinda sound with his Melodic lead bass lines than the later Motör-Metäl-Müsh...

    There is an Xotic SL (Super Lead) Drive pedal with internal DIP Switch for selecting between SL and SB, £120ish.

    As @Baloney Balderdash posted the Joyo British at £25ish SH sounds good... So much so, that i haven't seen mine since it's make-over as it's been nabbed and now on my Son's Bass Board...

    ...replacing the Mid-modded Behringer Beady-Eye, that has now had it's own make-over...

    But, I loves my Zoom B1on with Marshall SB Amp 'n 4x12 Cab Sim at £20ish SH... I picked up a SH Zoom B1Xon - the expression pedal version - for a tenner the other week... £10?!

    Much more my budget than an OKKO MotöBass at £160ish!

     

    ...but, more than happy to watch and listen to our @CiciBassRocking and Spacing Out...

  2. Current string prices of well know brands, i'd go with what ya got... Although the Roto's are mentioned as High Tension. There are some charts on their website.

     

    Toe-In-The-Water or Budget Flats?

    Adagio 45-100 are Nickel or Olympia 45 - 100 in Stainless... (£16ish offer?)

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302719180784

     

    Adagio are same similar price from same shop (advantage music)... but look like out of stock, don't go paying £22 odd from others.

     

    If you dabble in guitar... i've got the Flatwound 10-46 (wound third) on an Eppi LP... neck pickup, thick 'n warm... none of that trebbly scratchy screechy stuff... save that for the strat...

  3. Looks great from the back, not so keen from the front... story of my life!

    Scratch plate shape, expectation of P J type combinations?

    Small body for the large headstock? Tele-head?

    Usual soft colour pallet DB, SFG, SP

     

    Black plate on the SilverBlack burst very 70s glam

  4. What Korg?

    I've got a Joyo JT305 Korg-a-like...

    Mute, 9v Out, LED tune options, proper bullet proof... so good infact i got a Guitar Man GM305, same Korg-a-like for my Son. Both were about £15 posted on the bay.

  5. My experience with bridge saddle height and intonation. And cured the bridge roll to nice and seated.

    Similar experience with an electro acoustics... just make sure the piezo element is flat and central to the strings / cavity... some times they have raised sections, on the saddle blade, piezo element, or both. 

     

    I got a spare bridge blade. Cheap enough then file or mid that one keeping the OE as a reference.
