    That's normal with pretty much every pickup - is there a reason that you need the pickup so high? Would it not be better to drop the pickup until you get the sustain back? If the pickup is so close to the strings would you be able to fit anything between them? Or have I picked this up wrong 🤔

    Every gig ever "I used to play in a band, you know" really? How does flip off sound?
  3. Delberthot
    Bronze strings are fine if you only play acoustically but I always change them whenever I buy an acoustic as they make that horrible slidey squeaky noise. The last one I had I fitted a set of D'addario Chromes
  4. Delberthot
    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

    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

    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

    I'd like to free up some room so I can do this for £100 posted to mainland UK - I can ship abroad as well but please check with me first so that i can get a postage quote

    I've just bought my first proper pedalboard plus some individual pedals so I'll sell this for £60 posted to mainland UK

    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

    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

    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
  14. Delberthot
    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
  15. Delberthot
    Bought brand new during lockdown and never left the house. I think I used it once and put it back in it's box so it still has the batteries in their plastic sleeves and all of the paperwork. Looking for £60 or best offer. Postage will be £5 for mainland UK

    There's one missing that I've always admired- the Chandler Royale
  17. Delberthot
    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
  18. Delberthot
    I like flashy and did consider having a natural finish quilt top jazz body from Warmoth with all birdseye maple neck
  19. Delberthot
    I had a 2u GK amp with a big vent in the top so used a 3u rack
  20. Delberthot
    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
  21. Delberthot
    I like the look of that active 5 string PJ - £179 with a case
  22. Delberthot
    My Bassbone V2 makes everything sound incredible - active or passive
  23. Delberthot
    yes please. I used Schaller strap locks for years before I discovered that these stop your bass moving around as much.
  24. Delberthot
    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
  25. Delberthot
    I'm not at home at the moment but I think that they are in the same place as on a fretted bass.
