    Bought an Ibanez SR505 from psycoandy and today I’ve taken my first steps into 5-string bass playing. Andy had some trouble with the courier (given the current global crisis I’m not surprised) but kept me in the loop and has been great to deal with. One happy punter here. Thanks!

    Thanks, this is really helpful. Much appreciated. I *think* the bass came strung with D'darios, and there was a nice "thump" with the attack, and I just happened to have some Rotosounds hanging around so I fitted them and they are very disappointing. The Elites seem good value, I'll try a set. Cheers!

    Right, okay, interesting - is it your opinion it's the change of make of string or the different gauge or both? Another question - how different is the feel, playing heavier gauge?
  4. kwmlondon
    Did you find the same problem? Nasty overtones on the 4th string? What did you switch to?

    Well, I'm not desperate to sell, I just want the space really. It'll be around for a few weeks again.

    Yeah. Well... I've been playing Rapture for weeks and weeks. WRONG! I actually think that the version I've been playing is a bit harder but now I'm going to have to re-learn since I actually looked up the tab - though in my defence I picked up the mistake from YouTube. Next... Boys And Girls by Blur - very repetitive, easy to learn, but getting it fluid and clean will take a bit of practise https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/blur/boys-and-girls-bass-17777

    Usually I love the sound of new strings but this Jazz I've got, well, it's hard to tell really. It's been so long since I played with other musicians it's kind of pointless as I've no idea how it sounds in a mix. Sounds good with a cheap USB/Instrument cable going into garage band but I've not pursued that much really. I ought to...

    I've been playing Rapture by Blondie - getting those 16th notes raking down strings has been a challenge https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/blondie/rapture-bass-17043

    Well, as the strings have bedded in the E has lost a bit of the nasty harmonic ring. I won't be buying Rotos again though, think I'll try D'darios.

    That is one of the most 80s things I've seen in a long time! Enjoy...

    No problem - have a bump anyway!

    Hi. Nice bass - would you be interested in taking a GK 2x10" cab in part ex?
  15. kwmlondon
    Hmm. I will. Thanks!
  16. kwmlondon
    Good tip. Will do

    Argh. Hope not. I just had a set of DR High beans with a duff 1st string. The d’darios on before were rounds and they were okay.
  18. kwmlondon
    Thanks. I’ve done a good couple of hours practise though and it’s still dissonant. Hopefully it’ll naff off in a few days.

    I've just changed the strings on my MIJ Jazz. I don't know what was on before, they came with the bass when I got it - the guy said D'Arrios - pink thread around the top. The 4th string on these new Rotosound '66s sounds like it has a really unpleasant harmonic ring to it that didn't seem to be there before. The pickups aren't too close, and I've tried moving them further away in case and it's made no difference. Anyone else found this? Maybe it'll go away once they're played in a bit. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. TBH I wasn't too bothered about the Rotosounds anyway, I've heard they can cause neck trouble further down the line but I had them hanging around - not going to get them next time, for sure. Cheers!

    Well... this is a bit embarrassing but one of the reasons I’m replacing the GK is because it doesn’t match my Little Mark III! I do like a matching rig m’self...

    Been playing the markbass NY112 I got from Steve_M chuffed to bits! Fair price. Great communication. Friendly helpful and very happy with the can which arrived in fair time and well packaged. Many thanks!

    New cab!

    I saw him last year with Louie Vega and Soul Frito at the Royal Festival Hall. He is just unbelievable. One of the most brilliant bassist of all time IMO. NyYorican Soul is in my top 5 albums.
