[quote name='gafbass02' post='961044' date='Sep 19 2010, 11:42 AM']I've come across the ea iamp micro 550 which people on talkbass say is under powered but it's very very light n compact so tempting but I'm concerned about it being 50% for upright which just ain't in my funk rock world![/quote] There's no reason you have to use an upright with the Micro. The Doubler version has some extra upright friendly features for sure, but they both work perfectly well with electric basses. I had a Micro and it was lovely. Really crisp and clean sound, and as long as you get the gain set up right it can go quite loud. It's not a "ballsy" amp though, it only really does clean. I sold it because I went for a tube preamp, but now I'm full circle as I've gone clean again with a PJB rig. My advice would be to try a Micro if at all possible, just to be sure it has the sound and volume you want. Cheers Gareth

Looks like a medium scale E string was packed with a long scale set to me. I've never had that problem with the La Bella sets I've used in the past or now.

Hi there The Jag has a much more versatile eq setup, so you really should be able to get a far wider variety of sounds out of it than the SUB. I'd stick with it and try all the different combinations you possibly can. For example, I'd imagine running the pickups in series, with a bit of extra bass and treble boost from the active circuit and panned slightly to the bridge pickup, should give you a really good sound. Best of luck Gareth

Just go ahead and declare it. One thought though, is the ad still on Craigslist? If it is you could just print a copy of that out and show them. Alternatively, contacting the seller and having him confirm the purhcase and price is a good idea. Cheers Gareth

Ville is a terrific guy. He bought my Demeter/Peavey rack and was fantastic to deal with. Totally trustworthy and very highly recommended. Gareth

Hi I had the same problem until I bought a two channel amp. So, and it's a shameless plug, you need something like [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=92018&hl="]this[/url]. Cheers Gareth

My Veillette fretted wears Hipshot mono bridge units as below, and the saddles are cut for taper core strings. Now, the bass is currently wearing Ken Smith nickel taper cores, but the B string is too long and some of the actual string wraps around the headstock; I want to find a make of string that avoids this. The distance from the ball end to just short of the B string tuner is 36.5"; anyone know of any taper core B strings that'll fit? Also, nickels sound a bit "dark" on this bass, so I'm happy to go to steel. Must be roundwound too. DR Long Necks? La Bella Super Steps? What else is out there? Cheers Garteh

I have played two Foderas. Both were nicely put together but didn't really sound that special....
