I'm sure the high tension flats did not help. 

Discontinued a long time ago. 

I've always had a soft spot for the MXR M81 - fantastic preamp for clean tones. 

I normally wear Timberlands instead of Vans or DMs like everyone else in the rock scene. 

Timmy C circa 95-00. 

Well you'll need a new nut for a start... 

Really happy with mine, no problems dialling in a great sound. Plenty of punch too. 

Very happy with my rig. 
 

Precision into a MarkBass combo. TC Polytune and Spark Booster. 
 

What more do you need? 

I can't think of another guitarist who had a greater impact on not only the music but the image and influence on the genre. Hendrix is number one for a reason. 

Giving this yet another bump. I have a chance to buy one for a great price yet nobody seems to have used this pedal... 

I think the Digbeth has had nothing but universal praise on here and competes with preamps double the price. 
 

I have an MXR M-80 but always wish it had headphones out...

Peavey Micro Bass is a great little amp. Ask if you could purchase just that. 
 

Harley Benton are decent basses, a secondhand Squier/Cort/Ibanez/Yamaha all should be considered if budget allows. 

Bargain strings round 2:

How is the background noise/hiss on these? 

Dunlop flatwounds are great if your budget allows. 

Dillinger Escape Plan called it quits when they were at the top of their game. Kudos. 

Started a stoner/southern rock project thing and I have a mini board assembled. Will post pics later: 

TC Polytune 3 > TC Spark Booster > Idiotbox Blower Box V2 > EHX Green Russian Big Muff. 

TC Spark Booster. 

Savarez have a pretty extensive history in string making. I have never tried their bass strings but have heard good things. 
 

Does anyone use these regularly and can offer an opinion? @Strings Direct have these for sale although £30 seems a little steep.

Skynet control confirmed.

Have to agree.

Tried quite a few Player basses, but I've always thought the quality simply doesn't justify the price.

Especially now, compared to the 40th Anniversary Squier basses.

This one's right up there with the Vintera basses.

Could've bought a Vintera, could've bought two...but I didn't.

Bought the Vintage Precision and the Jazz.

As for going active, not for what you're planning.

The blue mute foam - where did you get it from? 

Best way to say F U to the Crue...

If it’s purely for recording, personally I prefer passive, then you can get a clean DI track and add any EQ tweaks needed after 

A great DI box is almost as important as the bass. I would recommend anything by Radial. 

Get a Squier 40th Anniversary Precision. 
 

I went into Peach Music with the thought that I'd come out with a Fender CS or at least a US series bass. 
 

This topped them all. Use your ears, not your eyes.
