Ahhhhh.

I had one of the series 1 USA pro jazz basses. The v mod pickups were fantastic, though very smooth when compared with other basses side by side but I thought they were fantastic pickups. I remember them giving a very good signal. Maybe an issue with the vol pot?

Mine has maple fretboard and neve preamp. I went for maple as the basses and guitars I’ve preferred seem to have them but I don’t think I’ve got the skills to hear a difference. Pau ferry looks better tho IMO!

Awesome things. Is there a noticeable difference between maple and rosewood fingerboards?

No problem, thanks ever so much for trying. Worth a go!

That’s very kind and much appreciated.

Hi. Can you do me a favour? Do you know if the person who took them put the set on a 5 string? I just need a low b so if they’re not using it perhaps I could ask for it? Cheers

We have a sound bar that's the same. It was great. Until firestick. Now there is off/tooquiet/tooloud .... never been higher than that. It's bloody infuriating.

They have the coating on the inner wire, so the string your finger makes contact with is not all plasticy. They last a fair bit longer than regular strings but won't be as long wearing as fully coated but honestly, the only coated strings I get on with are Elites and they don't do those in Multiscale.

Dingwall. I just restrung with the Dragonskin+ nickels after dragon skin black costed SS and there’s more bass- low and low mid - more signal and clarity.

I just found them too quiet, lacking in bass, scooped and scratchy BUT the ones I'd got were coated so I may be being unfair. This is the irrational thread, of course.

The ones I got by mistake sound more like cutlery than a bass. I may be missing the point though.

I have an irrational prejudice against stainless steel strings. Who on earth likes the things?

I bought these by mistake instead of the Dragonskin+ Nickels and I just can't get on with them. They sound too scooped to my ears and the feel is just too rubbery for my fingers. They've been on my Afterburner and have been cut a with a couple of winds to spare and I've only had them on for a few weeks, but being coated you could get a lot of use out of them. Free to anyone who sends me a stamped, addressed envelope.

Very underrated instruments, from what I understand.
