    The best P pickup IMHO.
  2. hooky_lowdown
    Line 6 Lowdown 400 (2x10) combo would be ideal. Makes lots of different sounds, weighty but not the heaviest combo, and can be picked up very cheap used.

    +1 for Gear4music, generally the lowest prices for decent strings in UK.
  4. hooky_lowdown
    Whatever you do don't use Rotosound flats, the highest tension strings I've ever played. Like playing metal rods, not strings.
  5. hooky_lowdown
    You posted this in the wrong section. This is for bass gear!
  6. hooky_lowdown
    Are GHS flats low tension?
  7. hooky_lowdown
    I was just checking out this vid, bass sounds awesome...

    Scrap the Colbalts (modern sounding flats) than. Going from rounds to old school flats is going to be a very big difference. Anyway, if you want low tension and old school warm thump than Labella 760FS is what you require! Lovely G5440LSB by the way.
  9. hooky_lowdown
    Flats are nearly always higher tension than rounds. Rotosound and Fender flats are some of the highest tension flats, so I would not advise these. Without knowing what style(s) of music you will be using flats for and you require fairly low tension, then there's only one set of flats which will suit what you've told us which are Ernie Ball Colbalt flats.

    As a bass these old Kay's are total rubbish, the pickup is microphonic. However, run it into fuzz or overdrive and these are super fun to play, they suddenly come to life and work great in a garage rock band. Nothing else.

    The 57 style two tone just looks sooooooo good. 🤘

    Fender urban ss gig bag.
  13. hooky_lowdown
    This is very tempting, very cool bass. Necks on Danos are just amazing.
  14. hooky_lowdown
    Really digging the case GLWTS
  15. hooky_lowdown
    Nice poly finish.
  16. hooky_lowdown
    I've switched to short scale and have half rounds on my current ss bass.
  17. hooky_lowdown
    I have a job lot of D'Addario flats and half rounds, plus other P bass accessories from my projects box which I no longer need. £45 + P&P (inc full tracking). All the following is included, please note I will not seperate: - D'Addario ECB81 flatwound Chromes 45-100 (been on a few P basses, but have less than 5 hours playtime) - D'Addario ENR71 Half rounds 45-100 (been a P basses, has less than 1 hour playtime) - Chrome bridge cover (excellent condition) - Black pickup covers (Brand new) - Black 13-hole pickguard (3-ply BWB - Brand new) - Black speed dial knobs x2 (Brand new)

    Sounds like a standard V4 would suit your needs, they come in a few colour schemes, I like the vintage White with maple FB.
  19. hooky_lowdown
    Yes, the parts are Chinese and the CVs are made in china. Fender MIM hardware is also made in China and shipped to Mexico for assembly, explains why they seem the same to you!
  20. hooky_lowdown
    Yes, they have different spec. From things I've read the newer ones with the painted headstock have hotter pups than the others. If you decide on the V4 than try a few out, this goes for any bass really. Some will feel and sound better to you than others, but the consistent is that you know all will be well made and spec'd. All the CVs hardware is made in china, and most will agree while the Wilkinson hardware may also be made in china, it's of very decent quality. If we knew what style or kinds of music you want the p bass for, we can help narrow down your search?
  21. hooky_lowdown
    Lozz196 knows what he's talking about.
  22. hooky_lowdown
    No, the V4 has a bigger range, from the ICON series which is vintage in feel and tone, to the STANDARD series which is more modern sounding.
  23. hooky_lowdown
    +1 for the V4. With the CV you only have vintage tone. The V4 range gives you more options, from vintage to more modern sounding.
  24. hooky_lowdown
    Make sure it's a minimum of 40w, anything less powerful is pretty much useless.
  25. hooky_lowdown
    Yup, definitely looks like an accu bass. Difficult to tell on my phone, but looks like a nasty split around the top of the neck, maybe the headstock was cut off at some point.
