I thought by fitting 84's it would darken it enough. It has but in a harsher way. [/quote] Surely experimenting with strings is a fair bit cheaper than trying various pickups? As Grangur said amp, cab and EQ are all thats left after that.

Only one of the advertising/design agencies that I freelance for has "upgraded" to Creative Cloud and that's only because they needed more licences and CC is now the only option for adding new seats. [/quote] They always find a way to get people to migrate! It does make you wonder where the subscription line will end doesn't it.

Are you using steel rounds or nickel? Be intrigued to see if there is much of a difference corrosion wise.

Easily solved.... We could have a "rickenbacker" section, and a "better than rickenbacker for less/same/more money" section with everything else in it. I am of course kidding. Jokes aside, it ain't broke. The mods do a fantastic job keeping things relatively neat; and the search function works a treat.

Well it seems like its falling on its a*se spectacularly. Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie sums up perfectly why; [i][color=#333333]“I think they totally blew it by bringing out a bunch of millionaires and billionaires and propping them up onstage and then having them all complain about not being paid,”[/color][/i] [i][color=#333333]“There was a wonderful opportunity squandered to highlight what this service would mean for artists who are struggling and to make a plea to people’s hearts and pocketbooks to pay a little more for this service that was going to pay these artists a more reasonable streaming rate. And they didn’t do it. That’s why this thing is going to fail miserably.”[/color][/i]

Maybe a touch of overdrive? Thats what I do on my P with flats to get a bit more bite and cut.

The aphex bass exciter really gave mine a lift, really underrated pedal as well.

Late april fools??

[/quote] That sounds painful Jokes aside, horrible situation for anyone. Nevermind being in a different country. Excellent to see the BC community offering help though.
