That Marlowe video... yes, ruin your fretboard at the same time.
Not a fan of coated strings either because they feel like they're dull from the offset.
I normally get six months out of my DR strings.
Cheers guys. I know gig bags/cases are hard to find for short scales. I have a Hiscox hardcase and a TGI Extreme gigbag - I'm guessing neither one would work for SS?
Really enjoyed playing my Sandberg yesterday - never realised how meaty the MM pickup is! Just received an Xotic RC Bass Booster too so even more EQ options on tap.
Just switched to the Xotic RC Bass Booster but am a big fan of the Spark.
I ran it on the clean setting with gain at 1-1.30, vol at 10, bass at 1 and treble at noon.
