I’ve got PV 63 in my hands waiting to be installed. Will provide updates when fitted. Finger crossed

Not sure if I can source a single .125 SS lo-rider. I’m tempted to try a set of low beams in my v7 jazz instead. To me the A string on the SS superbrights lack a fullness in the kids too

Thanks. This is certainly useful info. Glad to know I’m not the only one that mix and matches a low B string with other sets of strings. So many sets I’ve liked but often the low B is sub bar to the rest of the set. Some sets you can deffo get away with it. Others, not so much

Is the .130 in the Hi Beams not floppy like the super brights?

So are you saying the .130 aren’t floppy? I have never, ever got on with tapered B strings. Ive just put on my first set of super brights. They have a nice piano quality to them. But that .125 Is just too floppy. Shame really. Very soft touch is required to prevent it rattling away. Oh well...

A lot of the suggestions made are from smaller businesses within the USA. As I’m based in the U.K it’s doubtful that I will order them. i am now looking at the John Entwistle PBN or PBXN. Anyone have much experience with them? He is based in the UK

What did you make of the AG 4P-60?

I have some Flatwounds on the way to experiment with.

I will give the bass some more tweaking and experimenting. I liked how the bass played and sounded before i took it for a set up. The Action was quite high And it had a really sweet decay with the foam mute. It sounded proper thinly and old school. now the action is lower and it probably plays...

running a markbass LMT800 into a BF big baby 2

Loads of suggestions = loads of curve balls haha You’ve all certainly made this harder for myself!

Thanks, some good info. I did find that I had to lower the pickups as the E string kept hitting it. I found myself digging it and not getting much difference out of it which caused me to dig in harder. Now I come to think about it, I really liked PW’s with the stock pickup. It’s much more in...

I might just have to give this a go and try changing up the string combo. It does appear odd that I’m just not impressed with aguilars lack of character. They definitely lack low end bass for me tho

Interesting how no one has mentioned any of the pups I’ve been looking at apart from the Fralins. Anyone got any experience with Nordstrands or EMG GHZ?

I can’t say I’m sold on the quarter pounders. It seems everyone has them and they appear to have a scooped sound
