EBS does make 5 and 6 string Northern Lights in medium light gauge. It seems that LordOfTheStrings is slightly less than perfectly lordly :hmm: Link Removed I found a web shop in Sweden that sells them for 345 kronor (about $ 46.00): Link Removed Medium Light 40, 60, 80, 100, 125 Classic...

Though they don't have the beautiful black thread wrappings that the Cirrus strings have (or at one time had) these strings might be worth trying out too: EBS Sweden TN-ML4 Northern Light Titanium Nickel, Medium Light The new Titanium Nickel strings are designed in close co-operation with some...

Two suggestions: If you're not going to play it for a few days then sprinkle the body with baking soda. But be careful none gets near the pickups or electronics. Baking soda absorbs smells very effectively. Alternatively (or additionally) you can apply pure lemon oil to the body. Make...

Only a 4 cylinder in Walnut and Bubinga but the perfect bass for me with power, punch, presence and exquisite finesse. It's about 13 years old. Octaedro7, did you apply wax to the body to get that satin finish? Are those knobs on yours stock? They sure look nice! How do you post images so...

I think the problem is that the signal from the drive circuit (even with Tube Emulation engaged) is not sufficiently limited. So rather than EBS distortion, you get digital (or analog console) clipping from the DAC which sounds really, really harsh. As another poster mentioned probably...
