Thanks I get it, but all the basses I have ever owned went WAY further down than 2mm (I got 2 other shorties right now) without relying on adjusting neck relief, which should not be used to control string height really anyway. The nut I have never touched on this one 🙂 but yeah it's definitely cut less than the other ones on my other basses. I did not want to mess with that as I planned to sell anyway.

I've been heroically bumping mine since February 😁 -
Strings Recycling Scheme - Strings Direct
BabyBlueSound replied to casapete's topic in General Discussion
@Useless amateur hey, do you still do this? I got a couple used sets -
Alright alright they're not technically flats but I got to show this to everyone now! Tapes with a nice leather pick. Smooooooooth tone!

I fixed it since by adding another layer, the first layer always retracts a bit. I tried two types of UV resins before and they're both terribly, terribly stinky. Let me know which one you use that's hopefully smell-free I also managed to lose my UV flashlight since... 🙄

JHS NotaDumble pedal - a different distortion voice to Darkglass?
BabyBlueSound replied to visog's topic in Effects
I found the Notadumble fairly useless with my Sandberg that's got pretty hot passive pickups, even the clean channel distorts it a bit more than what's pleasant to my ears. On the Ibanez that's got passive EMGs, it's very different, and gives the tone some beautiful saturation that I like. So I am guessing it's not really for anyone who plays an active bass. -
Finally replaced the original Sandberg strings... decided to keep the La Bella on the self for now, and strung it with D'addario black tapes - as it just looks amazing with the black hardware! Can't wait to actually listen to it tomorrow, what happens to the "modern P" tone with these weirdo strings

I only ever tried the EB Cobalt flats yet, but those never ever stuck to my fingers (I got hands that are normally dry but very suddenly can get very sweaty, so I'm all over the spectrum).

Selling an Echö "Prototype" DIY pedal - Deep Blue Delay clone I built. It's a FuzzDog PCB in the enclosure. Prototype, as it's the 2nd I ever made, and it still has some build quality issues. This is one of my first attempts for covering a pedal with epoxy. As it was the start of my learning curve for painting and decorating enclosures, it's got small cosmetic mistakes like chipped corners, very slightly un-even epoxy coverage, as shown on the photos. Works very nicely with both bass and guitar. DELAY controls the time, manual says it's to 450ms but I think it goes to more. Turned down = slapback, reverb-y echo! Slapback with high REPEAT count = very metallic reverb REPEAT controls the amount of repeats. Down = only one repeat, and starts wildly running away and oscillating above 2pm. The DIRT pot... I'd forget about it, I could not find a practical use for it myself. I added it as suggested by other builders of the kit, but I don't really see the point. It makes the repeats even darker, and they can oscillate even more. It's a fairly dark delay, if you love the analog degrading of the repeats, it's for you! As the official manual put it, "this has got warmth and character, and if you're looking for a crisp digital delay, you rather need a Boss or similar" Happy to answer any questions!

Selling a Plüm "Prototype" DIY pedal - Prunes & Custard clone I built. It's a FuzzDog PCB in the enclosure. Prototype, as it's the 3rd I ever made, and it still has some build quality issues. As it was the start of my learning curve for painting and decorating enclosures, it's got small cosmetic mistakes like chipped corners and getting a bit too close to the drill base, etc, as shown on the photos. Works very nicely with both bass and guitar. For bass, try Drive = 3pm , Mix = 9-10am. Extremely responsive pedal! Happy to answer any questions!
