    (re-post) Pedal options for slightly noisy vintage single coil pickups?

    TC Sentry is most effective by placing any noise inducing pedals in the send/return loop of the Sentry. IMO this is the only way to use this pedal to it's full potential. Beyond this, if needed, use the tone print editor to make a custom preset tailored to your needs.

    TC Spectra Comp

    Still use my spectracomp every time I play. Only thing I wish it had was the ability to store one or two more presets in it with say a toggle or button to select. Tho I do understand why it doesn't as that would have driven the price up. It is an extremely deceiving pedal, only one control knob...

    DR Strings Club v2

    I'm using 45-105 DDTs in standard tuning on a 35" scale bass. If you use them on a short scale bass you would certainly end up with the major diameter of the string on the tuning post, I've read that this could be problematic on larger gage strings. I have no personal experience with that so...

    DR Strings Club v2

    I'm a loyal DR guy, Nothing but SS Lo Riders or DDT's for the last 15 years. I put off trying the DDT's for a long time and now I think they have taken the #1 spot for me over the Lo Riders. Great strings!

    @oldblue Nice looking B-204:drool: Sounds like you got a good deal, very nice. Do keep the bridge clean, I started getting corrosion almost 2 years in. Admittedly I did fail to wipe it down after gigs quite a bit. My B gets way more playtime than either of the D's :thumbsup:

    Badass 2 saddle adjustment

    VW Fan, Walter is correct. When he said move the neck to the treble side he does not mean push the heal of the neck, he is referring to pushing the headstock toward the treble side. The heal is the pivot point. When the strings are centered hold it in this position while tightening the screws...

    DR Lo-Riders - thoughts?

    I've been using SS Lo Riders on all my basses for the last 12 years. A few months ago I finally tried the DDTs and have now left Lo Riders in the past as the DDTs have a better growl to my ear, and the tuning stability and intonation across the board are both improved. Wish I tried the DDTs sooner.

    I have 2 D4's. Neither are the currently available model. One is from early 2019 and weights in at just over 9lbs. The other was bought used ( year unknown ) but is one iteration earlier, and weights just under 10lbs. Sorry don't have exact weights. Pics back on page 69 post # 1373 of this...

    Mildest Distortion Pedal

    I'm hoping the spark plays well with my darkglass AO.

    Mildest Distortion Pedal

    I've been reading/U-tubing about the TC Electronic Spark Booster to achieve edge of breakup/overdrive territory. I already own 2 other TC pedals that have permanent residence on my board. Sorry I have no direct experiences to share using it, but I hope to change that soon. Just need to save a...

    Intonation in relation to core wire size?

    Update on my original post. Got the DDT's installed resulting in no change in saddle position from the SS Lo Riders of the same gauge. Intonation was spot on and actually better across the length of the board. Beyond that I am absolutely enamored with them so far and provided they hold...

    DR Strings Silence

    DR have been my go to strings for the last 15 years. I've contacted them, once about a defective string and once about a possible string material issue, got responses and conversation on both counts. For me I believe they make great strings and have always been responsive and wanting to know the...
