Maybe this has to do with rising prices for raw material of steel e.g. And manufacturers are trying to compensate this in different production to maintain nearly same prices. I remember one fact, which might be important for the change of Labellas 760Fl. There was a long period, i think 1 year ago, where you can`t get 760FL anymore..they were out of stock everywhere. After that period those different string sets where delivered to me. so a ) They bought different strings to ciompensate lack of production in that period b ) They changed their way of production and this caused the period in their delivery chain I don`t know, just presumption..but maybe we will find the answer together

I know Labellas very well and also know the difference between broken in strings and new strings. but i also recognize the difference between two different production runs. It seems they use 2 different materials. And all my friends confirm if they have old sets they are dull and blunt and new sets are shiny and unfortunately not the same sound anymore.

I loved the Labella 760 FL for a long time and they were my favourite strings on p bass like a religion. But the last two sets seem to be different and so i want to ask you for your experience and maybe confirm my impression. old set: the strings look a little bit dull, dark grey and feel little bit blunt..what i look also soundwise it adds a little bit character when the finger streak the strings. new set sound different and are shiny, silvery and really clean from the new set 1 string broke after 10 min of play, can happen anytime, i know. but the problem is sound..i prefer the old set soo much over the new set. if they changed their production and produce only those shiny ones..i will not buy them anymore. so here is my question: do you have the same experience with newer sets of 760 fl? that they are shiny and clean and maybe yourecognized the change in sound as well? or was ist just a bad pick of 2 sets or whatever. or, what i hope, the newer sets you bought are also a little dull looking and blunt feeling? they are too expensive to try out 5 other sets, especially when they are not my cup of tea anymore..so you may excuse to bother you. Thanks in advance

thank you all very much for sharing your experience with me. As they seem to have really low tension, (when the strings are played in the video the move very widely, especially e string) and as i had problems with that low tension with thomastik flats..i will consider other strings than those pressure wounds..thanks again

[quote name='PauBass' post='1264099' date='Jun 10 2011, 05:27 PM']51m0n very helpful info, thanks! Quick question, have you had a chance to try the Aguilar TLC? [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_tlc_compressor.htm"]http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_tlc_compressor.htm[/url] If so what's your opinion? What would you consider to be a good setting with those controls?[/quote] here is a really good overview of nearly every comp..the reviewer knows his stuff as well..you may take a read and find some answers or suggestions [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/"]Ovnilab[/url]

[quote name='burno70' post='1264072' date='Jun 10 2011, 05:06 PM']Still after a quality D.I. though.[/quote] Then you should try the Avalon U5 which is amazing, you even hear the heartbeat of all the woodworms inside your bass Also a great deal is the Ampeg SVT Tube DI

I just saw those strings, is there anyone out there using those or has experience with those strings? They video is promising..what do you think?Does anyone maybe play the pressurewounds?

as a pedal i like the demeter compulator..easy and natural sounding this link gives you a perfect overview as the reviewer definitely knows the stuff have fun reading:) [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/"]Ovnilab[/url]

Thank you both for sharing your experience with me. [quote name='Monckyman' post='1261483' date='Jun 8 2011, 06:23 PM']Just try to angle it so it picks up as little spill from the rest of the stage.[/quote] I will keep that in mind:) Thank you

[quote name='Bankai' post='1261429' date='Jun 8 2011, 05:43 PM']Looked at your link and my german speaking abilities tell me that this wouldn't be right for bass cabs at all. It's basically AKG's version of the Shure 55SH (The classic silver microphone used by Elvis). Designed for vocals and spoken word only really.[/quote] maybe i should start singing then:) as i recently bought an old Sennheiser MD421 Gold version for bass cab

Someone offered me an old [url="http://www.el-me-se.de/old/pdf_files/MikroTop12.pdf"]Echolette top 12[/url] (from 1968), which is some kind of special edition of the AKG d12 made for Echolette. I don`t know that mic, so does anyone have experience with that mic? It seems to be more usual for bass drum i think.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='1258439' date='Jun 6 2011, 03:58 PM']I wonder when the hammerite one came into production[/quote] Open for correction, if i see it right The blackface came 1990. 1995 the hammerite with Di out right side of tuner out and 1999 the non adjustable DI out left of tuner out version.
