    I'm also using Pulse. It works great, but I can't figure out how to resize the UI. (I'm using Reaper.) Probably fine if you're using a 1080p monitor, but I'm on 4K and it's a little hard to read the text.

    Good ear! It's something I've been working to get out of my playing as well (and I get on my students' cases about it all the time!) but I guess I still have some work to do.

    I've also never had to go past 11ish on my B|Amp; my NXT112/ENXT112 stack puts out plenty of volume to fill a large stage and/or medium room, and at least for the gigs I'm doing, there's always PA reinforcement so I never need to fill a larger venue with just the amp.

    The Daggers felt pretty good under my fingers! No burning that I noticed. Took a second for my right hand to get used to them but once I played them for a couple of minutes I barely noticed a difference. I had never tried coated strings before this so I can't give a comparison to others...

    Hey all, I just made a shootout of all of Payson's E-standard 34"-37" string sets! Every set goes through a bunch of styles, and each style has consistent pickup and EQ settings throughout. Let me know what you think! Happy to make more videos showcasing these strings in more detail if that's...

    I think I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that the neck is parallel and the bridge is series by default. Could have changed since then.

    Took the NXT/ENXT112 stack out for a show in Niagara Falls this past weekend! Headlining band was also running an IP112/EX112 stack.

    This is one (of the many!) things I love about Bergantino. I got to play through a number of their heads and cabs at NAMM last year, and no matter the amp/cab combination, each bass I tried sounded like the best version of itself.

    I've been using nickels for years now, but I've always been curious about what other tones I could get with different strings. Gonna be doing lots of shootouts with these!

    Jamming out on my AB1 and upright bass. Payson nickels recorded DI through the Bergantino B|Amp. I've had this bass about four and a half years now and I still get excited to play it every time I pick it up.

    Spent the day trying out the BFT update and it sounds fantastic! Definitely more manageable across the entire drive range.

    Can confirm the same for the NXT/ENXT112. Bergantino really knocked it out of the park with these cabs.

    That's something I really love about the B|Amp. It sounds great out of the box, and if you don't dive into the settings it works just like a regular amp.

    I do have one and would love to try it. My reservation is that I've heard steaming a finished fingerboard can cause swelling in surrounding areas due to the steam getting trapped under the finish. I definitely wouldn't try it on my Fender because that's quite a thick finish (similar to the poly...

    Anyone have tips for repairing a dent in a maple fingerboard? This happened just now, accidentally bumped the bass over onto the corner of my computer. I've heard some people say that you can steam it out if it's unfinished but I don't think that's the case with Dingwall fingerboards.
