Just watched the second (shorter) video. Is it just me or does the Alpha and Omega tone sound exactly the same?

I don't know I have the Broughton HPF/LPF running into the VTDI and I use them for different things. One is a utility pedal – good for boomy live rooms but I've also found having that makeup gain knob helpful for recording. The other I use for that sim SVT sound which is nice if we're renting a...

Does the original DMC Micro work have the alphanumeric feature or just the Pro?

Congrats! Did the same thing with mine. Love it.

Man I love that champagne pink! You made the right choice

I'd save up to buy the Stingray but I can't bear to part with any of my basses.

They raised the list price on the 210. It used to be $349 I think. The 410 is great. It's just light enough that I can load it in and out of my hatchback without help and I put on some big old casters to make it easier to move. I guess I'd rather have 2x210 to make a vertical stack and be able...

I thought the low tension would bother me but it's a non issue. They're not floppy – just a different feel

Yep, picked some up last week. First set. They are amazing

Here’s my 1970 P. Red is all but gone on the front but you can still see it on the back. Wonder why that color always fades out first.

That’s a neat idea but can’t stomach the thought of putting a notch in the body even if it’s hidden :)

That’s weird. I’ve never broken a string in my life.

Made in Japan. I've read that "made" and "crafted" are basically the same thing, but the MIJs are more coveted for some reason. Without doing a direct comparison between the two I can't say which one's better.

Yeah the neck is really skinny which is awesome and makes my hands feel giant but it could mean frequent truss rod adjustments and I’m a little nervous about taking off or even loosening the neck. I prefer the wheel on the Stingray but what can you do. Had to find the right Allen wrench to...
