Great shop, great experience multiple times. They don't want time wasters so I don't blame their appointment only system.

Coventry? The originals band I'm in has been using Black Rose Studios which is reasonable.

Great rehearsal room but too far north. 

Little Mark II or III. Great heads, can be picked up for under £300 on the second hand market. 

Does anyone know of a decent rehearsal room in these areas? 
 

Starting a new project with members scattered about so trying to find a central location. 

I never expect a bass to have a perfect set-up out of the box, regardless of value. 
 

The only time I would expect that is purchased directly from a luthier. 

Asked the same question recently and I went for the Nordstrand NP4. Fantastic pickup. 
 

If you like NYXLs, Dunlop Super Brights, SIT Foundations and DR Pure Blues are all very similar.
 

They're all smoother than NYXLs in my opinion. 

No difference in sound between BBOT and Hi Mass in my opinion. 
 

The difference is Hi Mass offers better intonation, hence better tuning and sustain. 

MKII has become my low gain pedal of choice. Just does it so well. 

Add that to Russian, Chinese, N Korean... just buy Super Brights dude and don't get caught up in social media hype. 

You would probably enjoy GHS Pressurewounds light gauge also.

Anyways

Nordstand pickups will see you right. 

Still give me finger burn after changing the formula.

Hi all

 

I've got the aforementioned labella’s on my jazz bass and love the feel. Just pickup a stingray and am looking for a set of roundwounds with a similar feel, ideally a bit growly and not too zingy - the preamp can provide plenty of that if needed. 

Presumably I’m looking for something nickel or nickel plated (I’d prefer not to shred my fingers or frets with stainless steel anyway) and maybe round core?

 

So far I can find GHS round core boomers and DR Sunbeams - anyone have an experience with their flexibility? What other options might be worth looking at?

Sunbeams, Super Brights, Foundations, Pure Blues. All 40-100 gauge. 

Amps & Cabs section? 

Yes. Have played all three. 

Has been my power supply since 2010 and still going strong. It doesn't get much better than this. 

Fantastic pedals. Absolutely love mine for the low gain valve thing. 

No idea why some bass players on here will attack a woman because she has the audacity to pick up and play a bass. 

Don't understand the Spark hate? It's supposed to be neutral sounding?

Probably truer these days than in the past…

The 70s called. 

Hmm Fender's QC is okay at best. Shouldn't have to play multiple basses to find a good one. 

Why replace a US neck with a US neck? 

See you at the front...
