      You said not to mention its previous guises... o.O

      @discreetWas on Bassworld too, although don’t recall how long that was for!

      I cant believe basschat has been going that long. It only seemed a few years ago the name changed and I was Bassworld for a good few years too, crazy how much time has passed.

    La Bella Flats & Gold White Nylons have arrived!! The Flats will replace the Chromes on my Precision, but will make some recordings for a direct comparison! Very much looking forward to testing the GW Nylons on my Lakland 5!

      Look forward to your Chrome vs La Bella thoughts Si! I'm now settled on Fender 9050Ms on my Limelight , very nice combination :)

    2. Sibob

      Sibob

      Yes, will be interesting to hear any differences from your comparison, although I'm using the 'standard' Flats as opposed to the Original '54 Flats you had.
      I really like the Chromes, but with my Lakland having the La Bella Gold Flats on now, which are brighter with more attack (similar to Chromes), thought I'd try something a little more thump and mellow on my Precision. Plus means I can now potentially get all my strings from one brand.

    La Bella Flats vs Chromes and Lakland Rounds vs Gold White Nylons comparison thread now up in Accessories & Misc forum

      I wasn't even aware of Gold White Nylons... Hmm...

  4. Sibob

    LaBella Gold Flats fitted to my Lakland 44-94......sounds great on some recordings so far! Can't wait to gig it. Here's to not changing strings ever again?! lol

      Have you found them slightly quieter than regular nickels or flats? I loved the tone of them on my P but then output was def lower!

    3. Sibob

      Sibob

      @davebass66Hmmm, can't say I've noticed a volume dip compared to the Chromes on my '71 Precision, but difficult to know what other differences are coming from the pickups etc (my 44-94 is a custom passive P/J). Not noticed anything significant going from the factory rounds it had on it to the Golds, but not to say there might have been some very minor differences, nothing my amp can't handle lol.

      I was about to ask if you noticed a volume drop. I had a huge volume drop on my Precision. I was previously using Chromes and Rounds.  

  5. Sibob

    LaBella Gold Flats on the way for my Lakland 44-94.....which also happens to be gold :biggrin:
    I think I may be done with roundwounds?! o.O

      @discreetIt’s only an 80’s bass if it’s headless and white with black hardware! :biggrin:

    3. discreet

      discreet

      Yeah, that's the other sort of 80s bass... that I don't like. :)

      I have the la Bella low tension flats on my 55-94 currently... sound's the dog's!

    Lakland 44-64 in the house :D. Will do a post soon

      Congratulations!

  7. Sibob

    Lakland 44-64 sold, sad to see it go. But Moollon P incoming in April and my eye on a Precision 5...which should hopefully be with me by mid-December :D

    1. Marc S

      Marc S

      ooo, looking forward to seeing your Moolon P
      But if you're getting a new Moolon P... why do you want another P?
      .......said the man with 4 x P basses! lol

    2. Sibob

      Sibob

      Because more Precisions is good Precisions 😂

  8. Sibob

    Lockdown has me enquiring about a Limelight. DOH

    1. discreet

      discreet

      Any excuse is a good excuse for a Limelight. :biggrin:

    2. Sibob

      Sibob

      It’s either that or an original 70’s variant of this colour scheme...which isn’t going to happen lol

  9. Sibob

    Long-shot, but anyone in Herts (Hemel)/Bucks (Wycombe) got a Noble Pre/DI I could try?

      Met a fella called David who stores gear for Music companies while bands aren't touring. If bands split, he's left with it. He has a LOT of gear. He's based in High Wycombe, by the council offices IIRC - give him a ring/email.

    Missed out on an Ibanez Blazer bass on Facebook last night....and now searching around for another (I want another P style bass for tape-wounds)....someone convince me I shouldn't? lol

    1. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      Do they do a double-breasted version of the Ibanez Blazer?

      I must admit, I like the look of the Mustang.... but I don't need another bass! lol
      I'm sure you you't actually "need" another bass either Sibob - but that won't stop you enjoying it :) 
      Let us know what you think.... no, wait, don't..... or I'll be getting GAS for one ;)

    4. Sibob

      Sibob

      @Marc S You're quite right, certainly don't need it....but always been curious about Mustangs. Think it's going to be fantastic for recording and gigs where we don't have much space to transport gear. Also my wife has taken on some bass gigs, so will be perfect for her too (she plays a Mustang guitar).

  14. Sibob

    Mustang has arrived! :D

      I keep toying with the idea of getting rid of mine, then play it and immediately decide against it!

    Oh no.....I had my Lakland DJ5 set up properly, and now I don't want to sell it!! 😅

      I love it!  Played a gig last week with it for the first time.  I reduce the Gain to 2.0 or so for minimum breakup, I correct the lower volume then with a simple gain block after it.  Such sweet saturation!

      I've played there a couple of times. Its always been great.

    Popped a TC Spark Mini on my board so I can switch between a couple of basses with very different outputs without changing pedal settings. Perfect, super quiet, super transparent, sorted! :)

    1. Rikki_Sixx

      Rikki_Sixx

      Spotted one of these on a Cash Converters recently, didn't realise what it did at the time. Sounds really useful in your situation!

      I bought a Bigshot 1/0 for similar purpose. Has tuner out too which is nice. Input 2 has a volume control I plan to use fretless on some tunes but not all so makes changing quick and slick

    3. Jean-Luc Pickguard

      Jean-Luc Pickguard

      I have a TC spark mini for bits where the bass needs to be the loudest thing in the room. Great little pedal!

  25. Sibob

    Really missing my old Lakland 55-01 today. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly basses, including another great 55-01......but I would have the original back in a flash!
