Jamming with Pearls

There's a small venue in my town where I often go see bands and I once saw the mixing board EQ curve and the sound engineer had HPF at around 200hz for the full mix. And the sound quality is usually quite good there. On the other hand, I saw Tesseract live couple weeks back on a fairly big...

Oh yea, I didnt realize the bridge has also top load option. Yea, long scale should be enough, but I've read that on some 35'' basses it's just a little bit short, so the taper on top of the string lands over the nut.

So I've been planning to buy Lakland Skyline 55-02. But started to think what kind of strings would fit it. I'm assuming only super long scale strings are long enough, since the bass is string thru and 35 scale? Also, are there any tapered strings on the market what would fit the string thru design?

Yes it is.

Ok, maybe its not fair to call it bad music. And that kind of dark ambient music has its place too, for example in videos games.

Yea, I was wondering why there are some praising comments on Lustmord music tracks. Then tried to listen patiently, but never heard anything what I would find interesting.

Now that Korg is running things in Darkglass camp. Do they still fix defective units, or do I have to wait forever to get it back?

Warwick Masterbuild Streamer or Custom shop.

For me, around 3 oclock has worked pretty good. I like how it clears up the low end a bit.
