[quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1405076034' post='2498555'] [/quote] Clever idea, but shouldn't the tuner circular slots be slightly extended towards the nut to prevent string catching on the circular edge?

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1403610786' post='2484396'] ... I do have problem with the MAG ... series which tend to be very bass and doesn't sound well in the band. [/quote] That's the opposite of my experience. [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1403624936' post='2484679'] ... I used to play a MAG300 combo and found that it didn't agree too much with active basses. [/quote] That's also the opposite of my experience.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1403465007' post='2482971'] That Blue Mink song has questionable lyrics! [/quote] Possibly so by present standards but it was nearly half a century ago and it was no doubt positive and forward looking for it's time.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1403352209' post='2482029'] He must be playing them through a pretty loud amp if you can hear that [/quote] Ha ha, unfortunate (or not) wording.

They sound like D'Addario Chromes.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1402824136' post='2476985'] [/quote] That is so bad it has taken me three days to work out how bad it is.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1402911939' post='2477706'] I have one of the Fender ones. I like it - looks brilliant - but it is very heavy. Seems to extert a lot of pressure on the amp input. [/quote] Same experience here. I like it but I am constantly thinking 'is this a good idea?'.

Give them a few weeks and they'll sound even better.

I knew about the white ones but I didn't know about 750Ns - how are they different?

String Direct, Stringbusters, Lord of the Strings, Thomann - all stock 760Ns. They are very nice strings, if you like them, just like any other string.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1402667360' post='2475802'] Dear God, the man is multi-talented! Mind you, there's one [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones"]Jim Jones[/url] we can rule out. [/quote] Is he the one who was in the Brian Jonestown Massacre?

Is he the same Jimmy Jones who is a bass voice as well as bassist?

I wonder how the OP would feel about this one:

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1402589323' post='2475095'] Is it actually supposed to be a "thumbs up"? [/quote] Yep.
