Very nice indeed. Great review! I’m still eternally happy with my Silverstone. I’ll have to paint the baffle blue though to make it properly authentic now! 😝 Great work by @stevie. I cannot find a reason to buy another cab that hasn’t been made by him.

Hey all Up for sale is a set of pickup covers. One was from my Precision (bridge cover) and the other was from my Jazz Bass (neck cover). Official Fender parts bought long ago and hardly used after I realised they didn't work for me. They're in good condition, accordingly. No screws though. £27 plus postage. Sold. Pete

Hey all So here's another unique preamp. If you're looking at this, you probably know what it is already - a filter-based preamp. I've documented the sound of this well over at my Youtube channel, and perhaps some might be familiar with it through that. One video showcasing it is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic&t=85s It can be used with any type of pickup, unlike the 'Special' version. Since I've now upgraded to the Mark 2 version of this preamp, I don't need the Mark 1 version anymore. This version doesn't have a pick attack/treble boost switch or variable Q filters of the Mark 2, though it remains excellent nonetheless. It has slightly wider frequency ranges for the pickups as a result. I've copied the original sales blurb for ease: 'The Double NFP is an onboard bass preamp. Unlike common EQ/Preamps, the Double NFP allows you to completely change the character sound of your pickups by shifting its signature resonant peak. This, plus the ability to actively mix them, gives you a full new level of exciting tones not available on regular EQ preamps. The Double NFP is a filter-based preamp alike the ones seen on basses like Alembic and Wal basses. It features one filter per pickup, offering more tone-shaping options, that are actively mixed through the pan/blend potentiometer and into a Master volume potentiometer. Being a low pass filter, it lets all bass frequencies pass through up to 4Khz where it starts cutting. The cutoff point has a resonant peak that can be boosted by pulling up the potentiometer. Each Filter potentiometer also allows you to sweep the cutoff point(resonant peak) within a range of 150Hz to 4 khz. Specs Sweepable Filters Range: 150hz to 4khz Resonant Peak (Q): +3db standard/ +6db (boosted) Operation: 9 to 27volts Current Draw: +- 4.5 mAh Dimensions Filter boards x2: W: 3.3cm; H: 2.3cm; 😧 1.7cm Potentiometers: Hole size is 6.35mm, and bush height is 10mm.' It's fully working, as you would expect. Happy to sell for £107 + shipping in the UK. Sold Pete

I had heard that description of Elixir Steels as well @Baloney Balderdash, but it isn’t right. The Elixir steels sound like other steel round wounds to me (just as if they’d worn in a little). And I’m well used to different steels.
-
Pure Blues are good. I quite like the Rotosound Ultra Mag, very similar to Pure Blues. Never tried the Dunlops or SITs but will have them on my radar too.
-
Do new Elixir Nickels sound like worn in NYXLs then, do you guys think? Or not quite that bright?
-
Howdy all I’ve been trying out lots of strings lately. I could use the hive mind on this one. I love NYXL strings on pretty much everything. Been trying Elixir Stainless Steels also and find they sound fantastic on most basses also. And the feel is so much better than typical steels (I’ve used ProSteels, Swingbass 66s, Hi Beams, and Fat Beams in the past). I’ve never tried the Elixir Nickel Plated Steel Coated strings. The videos I’ve found only of them are not that helpful either… Can anyone tell me if the Elixir Nickels are as bright as e.g. D’Addario XLs, NYXLs, or EB Slinkies? Those would be useful points of reference. Thanks all. Pete
