    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1371674457' post='2116925'] I haven't tried them all obviously, but I found D'Addario Chromes to be very bright for flats. Too bright for me, in fact. [/quote] +1

    I love my Sandberg VT5. Most of the time I just use the P pickup, but it's good to have the J available if I want a bit more "bite".

    La Bella now make flats specifically designed from string thru basses, such as [url="http://www.labella.com/products/760fs-tb/"]these[/url].

    I bought them from Langrex who advertised them as New Old Stock, and I haven't even tried them out.

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1369477824' post='2089613'] Well Gareth it has not even left my house in the six months I have owned this lovely bass so its exactly as you remember it (bar a change of strings)! [/quote] You changed the strings? Oh well, that's it, the deal's off!!!

    Seriously thinking about selling my Veillette so I can buy this back
  14. franzbassist
    I fancy something that just gives a hint of breakup, I don't want tons of overdrive, just warm subtle fuzz that is more obvious the harder you play. It must be a normal pedal size (i.e. roughly equivalent to a Boss) and it must be 9V centre negative so I can run it off my One Spot. Suggestions?

    [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1369161450' post='2085687'] Thought I would share my Shuker Artist 6. I chambered body light weight six string with Delano and Piezo pickups. [/quote] Oh Marc....

    Bought the Radial Bigshot I sold to Lee a while ago back off him. Just as smooth a deal this time as it was the last.
  18. franzbassist
    So I ended up with 2.5m of the heavy duty velcro. Excellent stuff

    Sold a Radial Bassbone to Pete. An absolute [i]pleasure [/i]to deal with, and I would happily deal with him again.

    I still have the box my Sandberg came in sitting in my office. If anyone needs a box, and can collect from Somerset House in Central London, they are more than welcome to it!

    Thanks guys. So is [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/VELCRO%C2%AE-brand-heavy-Stick--BLACK/dp/B00186Q7XY/ref=sr_1_29?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1368342946&sr=1-29&keywords=Velcro"]this[/url] the stuff to get then?
  24. franzbassist
    Yes, so, the Pedaltrain stuff is pretty naff. Any recommendations for something else to use?

    So, the MXR M87 arrived this morning (thanks Alex_1_2_3 for lightning fast delivery!) and I have spent some time playing with it..... As I was setting the unit up, I realised that I could use the input gain LEDs to provide a visual indication of the pickup's relative outputs. A quick pan between piezo and mag revealed that it is definitely the mag pickup that causes the output imbalance, the B, E and A strings generated far more energy, so I have spent some time adjusting the angle of the pickup to balance the strings more evenly. It isn't perfect, but it's a lot better, and it means I can use the compressor to clean up the output in a subtle way. Job done I think.
