I use a .130 flatwound. It's about the same as my Rebop with a .126.

NS-2J now has DiMarzio Area J's. HUGE improvement.  | Nice basses! Love the finish on the MM pu bass. I'm about a heartbeat away from aquisition of a new USA NS2J. What didn't you like about the stock emg pickups? How do the DiMarzio's differ and what on board preamp does your 2J have? |

I'm still playing a NS 95 and always wanted more of a 35" scale B sound. So long as I don't over tension the already stressed stress rod.  |

Thanks Rich! But I've loved your NS-4 since playing it at Bass Central last year.

CANT WAIT! | Some people like them, some don't.....Different strokes and all. Definitely go check it out for yourself and forget your old EQ, use your ears and turn the knobs till it sounds good. Part of why I built mine was that I could buy parts over time while building the cab. Kind of like making payments to myself. I really dig mine but the 18sound mid really can be too aggressive if your not careful. (I dig that) I have a mid pad on mine so depending on whether I'm using a sub under it or it's really close to ear level I can pad it back without doing any EQing. I sold my 12/sub and am building a 15/sub right now to go under it. Just wanted a little more umph when I need to go to 11.
