Annoying things people say to musicians
Delberthot replied to musicbassman's topic in General Discussion
Every gig ever "I used to play in a band, you know" really? How does flip off sound? -
As always I used D'addario EXL165-5 strings on both my BB425 & 1025 and never found them dull. The Prosteels can be very bright and snappy due to the fact that they are stainless steel v nickel but I wouldn't say that there's a gigantic difference between them
-
I love Behringer pedals as well - the combination of my £300 Radial Tonebone Bassbone and £17 CS400 give me my ideal sound. in fact if I ever went back to having a normal bass amp and cab the CS400 is the only pedal I'd keep a hold of

Bright punchy strings that aren't abrasive?
Delberthot replied to JonnyBGood's topic in Accessories and Misc
I find that D'addarios are smoother across the board. When i made the switch from flats to rounds I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that their EXL nickels were about the smoothest nickel plated string that you could get. Their stainless steel strings are also really smooth for a SS string as well. I find that I can jump from their flats to nickels to SS and they all feel really good and not rough like some of the strings I've used in the past. I like my strings to have the same tension and D'addario are about the only company that publish their tensions so I always check them before buying to make sure I am going to get the same tension regardless of what type I use when changing basses -
Remove indelible marker/Sharpie from headstock?

How do you know that the OP has small hands? 😛 -
I've got a Fender Rumble 15 combo that I use for home practice. Plenty of volume, aux input and headphone output. I've got it in the corner of the living room on a small glass table, takes up very little room

Lost in translation Precision listing
Delberthot replied to ash's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Fantastic - apparently in the feedback section the answer to every issue is to give the answer "it's the coronavirus" Item arrived late - CV19 Item missing parts - CV19 item set on fire - CV19 ordered CV19 - CV19 Ordered a Citroen 2CV - CV19 -
help me choose the bass design- they both look so good...
Delberthot replied to Ari247's topic in Bass Guitars
Wenge feels really nice under the fingers. it's sort of rough but waxy and smooth at the same time if that makes any sense. I'm not a fan of blue with the grain showing unless is quilt maple, I'd rather have a solid blue poly finish -
What's your fantasy Lotto jackpot bass gear shopping list?
Delberthot replied to Painy's topic in General Discussion
I would have a Spector NS4 built exactly like Guy Pratt's, a Status Stealth headless 5 string fretless just for the hell of it and a Warwick Thumb NT5 with the double slanty jazz pickups -
anyone who knows me knows that I change my gear regularly just for the hell of it. Ordinarily I would have done a few gigs with it only to discover something else, sell this and then start the whole process again. Given the current situation I haven't had the opportunity to use it at a gig so it's still minty fresh. I did a lot of research before buying this over anything else, including the B3N, one of the Boss multieffects and something else and then I remembered that I don't really use effects regularly

Where is best for strings these days?
Delberthot replied to pintspiller's topic in General Discussion
I've been using D'Addarios of all flavours for years now. I generally get 7-9 4 hour wedding gigs out of the EXLs, 6-7 from the Prosteels and I've yet to see the end of usefulness with Chromes -
I like flashy and did consider having a natural finish quilt top jazz body from Warmoth with all birdseye maple neck
-
I had a 2u GK amp with a big vent in the top so used a 3u rack
-
I had a G30 and active basses and didn't have any issues except that it used to interfere with the radio mikes regardless of what channel I was on
-
I like the look of that active 5 string PJ - £179 with a case

Actives basses into preamp pedals - opinions?
Delberthot replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Effects
My Bassbone V2 makes everything sound incredible - active or passive -
yes please. I used Schaller strap locks for years before I discovered that these stop your bass moving around as much.

I've just had a look and the side dots are where you would find them on a fretless bass. I did have a plan to make lines along the top so as not to interfere with the look of the maple board but never got around to doing it. I'm not worried if it doesn't sell. The more I think about it the more I think it might be a good winter project to get myself a good Sting Police era fretless precision for not a lot of money

After watching a recent Guy Pratt video where he uses the Boss one I decided that I must have one. After I picked myself up off the floor at seeing the prices that they were selling for I looked for an alternative. I spotted the Behringer ones but they are discontinued and selling for silly money. This video is really helpful so I have ordered the TC one. The combination of my RBX 765a and this pedal has the 80s part of the set list sorted
