Yeah its sorted now guys! started playing with my fingers now instead of a pick, which evens out the sound a lot also.

Cheers for the advice everyone.

Hmm, I will try this at practice tonight.

I have been a player for almost 5 years now, and have only started having this problem recently, it seems easily solved, and I wondered if i could have some help. On my current head, i play with the bass on half, no mid, the high on full. This gives me the sound i want on the bottom E, but the other three strings seem to be a lot quieter in the mix. Is compression the way of solving this, or could it just be my pickups or my current head? Was just wondering if playing with no mid range on the eq, affects this balance? Sorry guys I'm still a bit clueless with this sort of thing!!

New model Army - vengeance the opening bass riff NWA - express yourself Incubus - are you in? Alexisonfire - Accidents (the bass riff in the m8)

This isn't really the right thread but i couldn't find the wwhat strings do you use? one. Does anyone know if 55-110 guage strings will fit on a standard guage nut?

Reminds me of the bbc site.

Yeah I love the sound of new strings too, but I find it only makes a difference to the sound of the bass on its own, but not to the overall sound of the band (In my case).

Yeah the EC 404 les paul bass was the particular one i was looking at. Cheers for the advice guys.

What does everyone think?

My beheringer tunes A fine, but is very slow. Im just using a boss TU2 pedal now.

CGCF Am thinking of buying a five string and tuning either ACGCF or CE#A#D#G# Also would like to afford to be able to have one bass setup in E so I can practice different styles.
