    Free space on my Pedaltrain Nano - any suggestions?

    No need for a DI?

    Microtubes X

    Nice work and great sound. Definitely can hear the Spector in it. Did you play with a pick?

    Well, to each their own. :) For me all these features are mandatory since I purchased the OCSD mainly as a silent practice tool and my bass sound is all about mids. I can't imagine being without those controls other than having an additional EQ.

    If you don't need the mid controls, the headphone amp and the aux in, absolutely go for the mini. :thumbsup:

    Microtubes X

    Just tried it. Makes a huge difference. The sound is a lot tighter especially with the growl switch engaged.

    PJ bass with the split coil wired with series/parallel switch?

    Yeah that's side-by-side or in-line. Split coil means to me the coils are offset

    What are Fender 8250 taperwounds?

    I was surprised too, since the reason buying them was me thinking they're round core. But they weren't terribly stiff for hex core in these gauges. I might buy them in the future again since they're reasonably priced and sound fine. I like them more than D'Addario EXL although I know D'Addario...

    New Yamaha BB series

    I was also pretty sure that they have strung them with D'Addario EXL170-5 SL. At least all of the former BB X-series had them. Even the Japanese made models afaik.

    PJ bass with the split coil wired with series/parallel switch?

    What's your definition of a split coil? A split coil for me is a P style pickup. A humbucking J for me is a side-by-side or in-line humbucker.

    DiMarzio Model J DP123 But those in line humbuckers generally don't sound that great in parallel.

    The new white one.

    What are Fender 8250 taperwounds?

    Bought a set a few weeks ago and on the package it says hex core. They are good strings. Nothing special but very solid. Similar to D'Addario Nickels. The .110 E is a good match for the rest of the set.
