Stingray. 

One. I've never broken a bass string in 20 years of playing. 

More suited for the A string but the fix is simple - don't cut your A when installing new strings. The extra wraps help push the string down to get the angle needed at the nut. 

I would agree with Danny - I still have the Blueberry but found the Spark Booster to have more definition for want of a better word. It does the low gain valve thing very well. 

Kiss?! Poor child.

Given that that costs £200 more than the budget example recommended in the OP, this post is just an excuse for yet more

 

I purchased the Radial ten years ago secondhand for £80. Still going strong. 

I have a Radial JDI - never let me down. 

Been a Jazz player for the last 15 years. 
 

Recently purchased a Precision and loving it. 
 

Had rehearsal last week and I was really struggling with the EQ to get a decent tone. No note definition, just lots of boom. 
 

Any tips?

He was 21 when their debut album came out. Such mature and timeless playing for someone so young. RIP. 

No.

Go back to TB, Baloney. 

You're wrong and cannot accept that.

Also you should never try to cut any other string to size but roundwound hex core strings, but use those other types of strings whole in their full length.

What utter tosh. 
 

Reputable source? 

Do you crimp the string? If not, then there is the problem.

Get a Sire P5, you'll thank me later. Roasted neck with rolled edges. Classic P tone.

No thanks - I don't want Marcus Miller on the headstock. 

Has anyone had pickup humming issues with either model? 

Looking for a great Precision tone and know G&L make a great product. 
 

Which one of the two shall I go for? 

Always Hiscox. 
 

I swear this thread pops up once a week? 

Thanks for that. 

Huh. Ordered Sunbeams from Amazon when on sale and never had an issue. 

Dispatched and sold? 

Who dispatched the item - Amazon or a third party selling on Amazon?
