Interesting... I have noticed how the string was curved behind the nut...! This might just be a factor that I need to check. Thanks Geri O! I will look into this when I have time

I went from using Dunlop Super Brights 125-045 to DR Pure Blues 125-045. They don’t feel stiff at all.

It is the chorusing effect that bothers me. The B string doesn’t sound “solid” because of it. The low mids gets phased out

As mentioned, I’ve tried 3 sets of strings. I’m determining this with my ears, confirming it by looking at a tuner and seeing how it jumps at the attack of the note, and also confirming it by vision, seeing how the string vibrates at two rates. I always mute the other strings and check if...

I’ll give it a go

It’s not the jump in semi-tone that is the problem (however it is one of the things that is currently setting the E and B string apart from the others. And it even happens when playing softly). The problem is how the string warbles as if the pickup is distorting it. The string is playing two...

Hey guys, I know this is a common problem and it is mainly caused by the magnets of the pickup pulling too much on the string. I’m in a conflict with myself, as I’ve just bought a hand built J5 style bass with Nordstrand NJ5 pickups. The tone of this thing is fantastic, however the B string...

Actually no, it's gone for good...! Maybe the battery connector was touching something that caused bad ground connection or something...

True... But for some reason it does :thumbsup:

It even sounds nicer now...!! :D

You were right! It needs a battery. But you know what the funny thing is? The battery alone as power source works perfect - the Voodoo Lab alone doesn't work well, but having both plugged in works perfectly! Even though the power adapter makes the battery inactive...! I think I'll just leave the...

I can try that... It would be kinda unfortunate if it doesn't like the power from my Voodoo lab :rolleyes:

Hi guys, So, I know this is in some ways guitar related - because it's a Tube Screamer guitar pedal, but heck, the science behind it is the same...! So, I'm having trouble with an old Tube Screamer TS10 pedal that I got secondhand... It seems like when it is in the signal chain, it "boosts" the...

I got a LP pickup for my FU4 and comparing my bass to the one that has been demoed recently, I can tell that I find that LP + graphite neck is a better combination than the original pickup. It sounds more natural and growly and punchy. Definitely worth it! I would LOVE to have the Modulus logo...

The Funk Unlimited has a slim D-shaped neck. I read somewhere that Flea wanted to have a neck that reminded of an vintage jazz bass from the 60's...
