I have always been a rock/hard rock player seeking the Eddie Jackson (Queensryche) / Frank Bello (Anthrax) tone. I’ve been successful at getting that with active electronics and Jim Dunlop Stainless Steel round wounds. Now I am considering a switch in music genres over to a more modern country...

Rock...Michael Anthony for sure. Brian Marshall (Creed/AB) never gets any love. He is a beast on the low B.

Thanks for the offer, but not until I can plug one in and play it.

Not on a 5 string. 16.5mm seems to be the norm.

I find this highly amusing. Only on Craigslist!

I made the switch from 4 to 5 about 12 years ago and would never go back now. I love the versatility of the 5 string and the fact I can hit lower notes than the guitar players which provides for a more full sound in a band setting. It definitely takes a while to get your brain wrapped around...

I went from nickel to stainless several years ago and never looked back. The aggressive tone qualities of the stainless are unmatched for the music I play (Rock/Hard Rock).

Been playing a SLM era (2000) SVT 4 Pro for 20 years now. Incredible amp. Wish it was a bit lighter but I’m unwilling to give up tone quality so I keep lugging it around.

Well...I just bought one. The price was too good to pass up and although I love my Ampeg gear, there was no way I was paying $249+tax for the Ampeg SCR-DI and then have to go out and buy a power supply on top of that. I am impressed with the Acoustic BPDI unit. All metal construction and very...
