anyone ever slap on TI flats? whats your impression compared to some of the other strings discussed here?

thanks for the replies. The TI flats sound pretty good, though shockingly expensive. I bought a whole travel bass on craigslist for the price of those strings. I'm also a little worried too about the tension being too low for slapping. I like a low gauge for slap, but the strings should have a...

Flats: Pros: no fret buzz, clean clear tone (diad chords ring out beautifully), smooth slides (low friction string), the obvious mellow tone. Con: very high tension interferes with playability, high end can be a bit empty sounding (though quite clean) Rounds: Pros: playability (low...

old thread, but just in case anyone is doing research on these cabs I will share my experience with them. I found the 410hfl to be very boomy. If i cut the lows the boomyness went away, but all my low end went with it. The mesa sounds very even across all frequencies. The mids are little bit...

So what makes the MB series better than the RB series? Weight is my least important consideration. The most important factors for me are (in order) Tone, volume, features, lastly weight. I liked the tone of my BA115, but I need something that can keep up with a Fender Bassman (410). I am now...

Thank you for your input so far. How does the tone of the MB series compare to that of the RB? Is there an amp that you would recommend to be paired with a powerhouse 610? If I got a 610, that would likely be the only cab I would be using.

I am seeking advice on which head to pair with a Mesa Boogie powerhouse 410. Until recently I have been using an Ampeg BA115HP 220 watt 1x15 combo amp. The guitarist in my band uses a 1959 Fender Bassman he built, his amp destroyed the ampeg in terms of volume and tone. I liked the tone of the...

So far it sounds like I should be able to get smoother and cleaner tones out of the HS than the HH. I already find that you can get a pretty dirty (growl) tone out of the single H stingray. It sounds like I could get a wider range of tone out of the HS than the HH. Unfortunately, The SR HS...

I have have read some threads comparing the HH to the HS configuration. However, I have been unable to find much in the way of sound clips for an HS stingray. Are there any Stingray HS owners that can provide a sound clip, particularly with the neck pickup solo'd? I have only found one...

They are humbuckers according to ESP

I have been searching for a loud acoustic bass for a long time. I have been trying to find a bass as large as the Earthwood . I recently came across the "Stoll" acoustic basses. These are agerman acoustic basses that have a much larger body than most ABG's; looks as though it would be loud. I...
