DIG IN SON!

lol i do play rather hard but the standard slinkys usually lasted 3/5 months before going off so i know compared to a lot of you guys they dont last me very long but this was a joke! right pain in the arse when trying to tour on a budget!

cheers guys, i have sent a winging letter to EB, i would like to hear something back before i sod them off for good and change brands as i have used slinkys for years.

cheers man i think i will. I have never had a pack die as quickly as these have.

like the title says really! I spent out £30 on a pack of these after hearing some good reports as i really like the standard slinkys. I am 2 dates into my band's autumn tour and they are dead! I have played them for no longer than 2 hours and they sound as dead as a very dead person. These things sounded great out the pack, had a good amount of girth on them but that lasted 30 minutes. I do wipe clean my strings after playing as i do go through them rather quickly but nothing like this. Totally gutted as i have another 10 dates to do and very limited budget that i dont want to waste on rip off marketing crap stings. Absolutely useless!!!!

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1347369423' post='1799856'] Oh mahn! £200 or so? ("(-.-) BSB [/quote] yup, and that was just the power valves.

i loved my VBA400, it was a pure beast! I would have kept it but i couldnt afford to re valve the bugger. 8 x 6550's was just too much man! lol.

Sandberg use Delano as stock pups as far as i remember. I opted for Haussel pickups when i ordered my bass as they are a bit more "vintage" voiced. bit more growl.

yeah i waited 4 months for mine. was worth it! Unless you can find one that a dealer has that you like the look of. There are usually a few knocking around.

just to add to the crowd, my PM4 (TM4) is incredible. I will never sell mine as i know it was hand made just for me. Everything on the bass just works perfectly. buy one!

and me! just ordered a Protec gig bag from Mark and within the hour i had an e mail saying thanks for the order and this will be shipped today. I could have bought the same bag for £20 cheaper on Thomann but id rather give my money to independent British businesses. Wish i could afford to buy more stuff lol.

yup, i use the para driver DI as a pre - preamp as well. (prefer this to the bassdriver as its got the mid range dial). Just gives me more options before the signal hits my amp.

i'd ban cover bands....

[email protected] bye PS my matamp 412 + 215 bass rig is better than yours [/quote] i love it that your van company is called Far Beyond Driven. nicely named after such a baddass album

good lad, big amps - big sound!

get a clear perspex guard! that would look cool and protect some of the painting.
