I agree, passive alnico v all the way. I think you’re right about EMG in guitars, they’re good, but not great. I’m loving the BKP Warpig set I put into an old Yami RGX, dark, twisted fat low B hey, so much saturation. So what EMG set/s specifically do you run in your basses? Punchy and clear is...

Handy to know, thanks, could come in handy if I need to set up a 4 string for someone who is used to playing a standard 5 string yeah. How do you rate the EMG pickups? I’ve found them good in guitars, I’ve never played them on bass.

Yeah thanks, I think that would be pretty close. After playing with the string gage calculator posted above and watching the vid, I’m gunna go with 55 75 95 145 and try that. I’ll let ya’ll know how it goes when I get it set up, bass is currently in pieces haha

Thank you for your reply. And this link, very helpful. And yeah, I think some of the peeps on that other thread don’t quite get that old bud just wants to jump straight from his guitar and play his bass the same way. That’s why I’m doing it too. I guess this is a bass oriented site, it gets...

Hey, thanx for this, what a great resource. Much apreesh :)

Hey peeps, I have a six string guitar tuned to drop b and it took a lot of messing around to find the right guage strings, so just wondering if anyone has been thru this process with a 4 string bass and found a good string set they'd recommend. I wanna set up a dedicated bass to match the guitar...

thanx, this is kinda my gut instinct on it too, much appreciate the the unbiased info, cheers.

Saweeeeet ;) I reckon most Peavey gear is hard to beat for value, and definitely hard to kill too. I had a medium sized Peavey guitar combo amp when I was a teen, its the only guitar amp I've ever owned that nothing went wrong with, I scored it for 30 bucks from the local pawnbroker lol. And it...

Yeah nice, some peeps like the sound of speakers distorting, but I like it clean and loud, if need be. And these toys are too expensive to break, Id rather just go bigger than I need and run it at a lower capacity, Id like it to outlast me ideally. Stoked you like the Peavey heads, the minimega...

yeah true that! much appreciate the offer tho, thanx all the same ;)

That was my first thought. Until the temptation of 2 fenders for an extra $300 crept into my mind, gives me the headroom of the full 1000w. The fenders are much heavier, but not stupid heavy. But you're right. If Im gunna run just 1 cab with this 1000w head, then the 800w markbass is the clear...

Short answer; no, but I really WANT two 410's

Yeah ok, thanx for the pointers. I'll see how I go with that. This site is blowing my mind, I've only been a member here for 24 hours and I'm forgetting to eat haha. I was actually thinking about it today, getting one of each and stacking them and stumbling on the holy grail of dream tones that...

Totally agree, specs are handy, but paper and reality don't always line up hey. And everyone's reality is different. So where would I find these clubs, are they chats outside this one? And A/B'd, does that mean run one of each in a stack?
