[quote name='MythSte' post='1180760' date='Mar 29 2011, 02:39 PM']That sounds really nice to me... and if they go for under £400 I might keep my eyes open.[/quote] i`ve seen them 3 or 4 times for that price in my oppinion, they are worth a try, depending on that impression of the video above

as a long time ago i was in search for youtube videos about the amazing fender tbp 1 preamp, which i bought later on, i found those french guys performing in this video with a big block, it may give you an idea of the bass you maybe want to start at 2:00 ^^

Chevrolet from the Black Crowes playalong

nice one:) but free your p and get rid of this badass bridge:D

beautiful

[quote name='Ancient Mariner' post='1174044' date='Mar 23 2011, 11:54 PM']First obvious difference was much higher tension[/quote] That has nothing to do with flatwound. As on rounds, just a matter of set and brand. Thomastik Infeld for instance have no high tension.

[quote name='daniel collin' post='1174003' date='Mar 23 2011, 11:31 PM']hey peoples, just wondering what the main difference is between the flat wound strings to the normal strings i you could give me some info that will be most appreciated dan[/quote] As for me a flatwound string is normal, i am wondering what you mean with normal If you mean the difference between flatwound and roundwound..just take a guess what the difference may be!? soundwise, in my oppinion the rounds seem to have more bite, more highs, more piano. Flatwounds played alone without a band, may sound boring as a first impression to you, but if you start playing in the context with your band for example, you will learn to love them, as you have a better assertiveness and punch. Like sound always is, just a question of taste. Give your ears some examples on youtube and you will get a good impression about the main difference for this file i used flats on a p, if you wanna listen for an impression [url="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4194859/lc%20vitjo.mp3"]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4194859/lc%20vitjo.mp3[/url]

Ah okay, how do you call it then, a "nit-picker"? As long as the compressor effects your original tone and this is the case even when it is not noticeable, i think the name effect is chosen well. Lets have a look for instance in audacity..under effects..ahh..a compressor, even wikipedia lists compressor as an effect.

Effects are just tools. If you need that screwdriver to tighten a screw, you will need a screwdriver. If you need a hammer instead , the screwdriver will not help that much. I only use bass-> cable-> amp after i have experimented much with compressors, maximizers, chorus, overdrive etc etc. for my personnel sound i just need my sunn amp, a precision and a good cable, As my sunn amp has a two channel tube compressor built in. in my eyes, a compressor ist the most useful effect, which you should start with. There is no right or wrong, just a left and right way. You choose, which way will lead you to your home.

It sounds good. It is a very harmonic full sounding set of strings. I normally play 45-105 but with the Gallis that doesn`t matter that much.

you should give Galli Rockstars a try , but they have a 40 at 100(RSB43). Fotr me one of the best sounding nickel plated rounds

Ive not tried using a VPN but i would say most people here wont be able to view it.[/quote] Thank you very much, you may be so kind to use this link at youplayalong from marlowedk. it has a really bad compression, but therefor no restrictions due to copyrights.

Due to restrictions of WMG, you are not able to watch this in the USA( a friend of mine told me) and not in germany. Are you able to watch that video above in the UK?

1st take, so not 100 percent accurate, i also had some rendering/picture sound synchronization problems. so this is the best result i can get out of it. Before you ask, the sunglasses are not for sale^^ they belong to my wife

I use a Tribal Planet double Gigbag. as they were years ago not available in germany i ordered them in UK. They are really great..and in your price range [url="http://shop.guitarsanddrums.de/src/product_details.php?cPath=315_221_618_621_1276&pid=38692"]I have this one[/url]

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1162060' date='Mar 14 2011, 06:35 PM']I too use Grolsch tops, always have. I bought some strap locks once but just prefer the ease of the red rubber ring. No modifications & away you go.[/quote] so do i, very easy, you can also get blue coloured ones, so there are not so eye-catching. [quote name='BigRedX' post='1161788' date='Mar 14 2011, 03:15 PM']Can someone please explain how the Grolsch bottle seal holds your strap on?[/quote]
