[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Im after some opinions from BCers who have tried both the 760FL and 760FS La Bella flats if poss[/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Years ago I gave the FS set a try and absolutely loved the tone. Infact I recently found a recording of a gig I did with them on my P bass and the tone is excellent – thumpy but not a dead clunk, married beautifully with my P and the Ampeg valve amp I was using. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]The reason I got rid was the tension – a bit too high and caused a fair amount of finger fatigue in my picking hand over the course of the gig.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I get that this may well be down to my technique and have recently been looking at the Carol Keye picking technique but other flats like Status and Pyramid have never been an issue for me.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive read conflicting reports on the difference between the FL and FS sets. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Some say there is little to no difference whereas some say the seemingly small difference in gauge belies the rather significant difference in tension.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Now, I get that even issues such as tension are open to interpretation – I recently tried the supposed low tension DR Flats and found them quite high tension if im honest - [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]but to give you an idea my ‘favourite’ flats currently are the Status Hotwires – reasonably taught but have plenty of ‘give’ in them when picking.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Give a great thump but maybe slightly TOO dead sounding after a while.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]As I remember the La Bella’s actually surprised me in the amount of sustain they had.[/color][/size][/font]

Got two vintage MIJ Yamaha pedals knocking around - a chorus and a compressor (CO-10M II & CH-10M II) that ill be looking to sell soon but am struggling with the prices. The compressor seems to go for around £20-£30 but the chorus is really confusing me. Prices of sold items on ebay and other websites vary from £30 right up to £80!! Normally id stick it on ebay and see what an auction fetches but Im looking to stay away from ebay after a few recent issues so looking to sell on here. Cant remember what I paid for them so where do I get a reasonable ballpark figure to advertise at?

Ant bought my Dimarzio DP122's in an effortlessly smooth transaction. No worries here

Yup, that's what keeps it interesting I guess. One mans warm is another mans muddy, one mans clarity is anothers mans brittle.

[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Im the opposite. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I love their amps having tried everything from a MAG300 through to the DP200h (I particularly loved their dual tube spyder series).[/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]On the other hand I just cant get on with their cabs at all. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Again I’ve tried everything from the MAG range through to VS series right up to their CL series.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]They just sound a bit ‘weak’ for want of a better word[/color][/size][/font]

Had mine strung with Pyramid flats and the tone was immense!
