Hmm do you tend to stick with one set, or swap around depending on the tone you want?

Medium scale can make the low E feel a bit lighter, maybe before swapping pickups, try flats or tweak the pickup height a bit. I’ve had that warm, thick E you’re describing on a classic vibe ‘60s Pbass with flats.

My SO recently got the classic vibe '60s PB, swapped on some laBella flats and it turned out pretty well. Anyone else here been playing theirs with flats? How do you like the feel and tone?

From my experience, the Quiet Line pads do cut down stick noise noticeably, but the kick pedal vibration still comes through the floor. So I would say it’s quieter than standard mesh pads, but not radio silent. If you want even less noise, Roland’s quiet kits are supposed to reduce vibration and...

Precision bass, specifically the Fender Vintera II :)

I grabbed these strings from my local store and they work really well on my bass. :bassist: Anyone else?

Yeahhh the “edge of breakup” into OD is exactly how I’d dial it. It really helps to try the head through a couple of cabs in person, at least that’s how I figured out what works best. If you’re in Australia, I'd recommend going with Riffs and Licks :bassist:

Yes, your 1x12 cab will work fine with the Venture 3. The Venture 3 is more aggressive than an SVT3 and can get gritty enough for RATM riffs. P.s. I laughed out loud at your comment about the neighbors, I had the same issue in the last place I stayed, thanks to my Snare drums 😅..
