I always see posts about the flats but how do you like their rounds? They are really great. They are not bright, they are mellow for rounds, but they have basically the same texture and playability as the flats. I would describe them as a dark sounding round, and they last forever. Not as long...

Having had most of those pedals at one time or another, I believe the Aguilar Tone Hammer is superior in most respects to the other ones. This is my opinion and this stuff is subjective, but the TH’s are built like a tank, the EQ on them is second to none, and going direct your sound guy is...

I play TI Jazz Flats and Rounds exclusively. I hate the way they sound new. For me the six month mark is the magic date when they start sounding good. Do not underestimate how awesome they will soon sound! If Pino’s tone is your thing, this is THE way to get it, trust me. They cut through a...

No hybrid amp with a tube preamp will ever saturate like a proper tube amp but it shouldn't sound like the thin, nasty fizz I get from my Mark Vintage Pre pedal. All I know it that the Vintage Pre pedal is an almost unbelievably poor product. I’m diverting from the OP’s point but since I’ve...

I am not familiar with those pedals, but you should definitely not be getting a “thin” sound out of that amp. My best guess for now if it sounds great w/o pedals but sounds thin with them is that it is not the amp. It must not like those effects for some odd reason.

What kind of cab are you using? I have the same amp and it sounds great whether I use my Darkglass pedal or put a Tonehammer in front of it. I’m using a Mark Bass cab because unlike other cabs I’ve mixed and matched, it sounds best pairing with MB heads IMO.

I would go on a road trip with Kim Deal. And Kim Gordon! :)

The Gotoh made it look better but did nothing to the sound that I could hear. Interesting. The difference I was hearing might have been that particular DI or pedal he was using.

Hello bass brethren! I scored a used MIJ Boxer off FB marketplace and I love it. The only thing I want to change is the stock bridge. Low End Lobster gave me the idea on his review (see on YouTube). He used a Gotoh (black to match the existing hardware) but does anyone know which one? His sounds...

Zombie thread but I just got the Sherwood Green version. Does anyone know what bridge I should get to replace the stock one? Most people who change it out get a Gotoh to match the other black hardware, (like Low End Lobster on his review), but does anyone know which one?

]My bandmates let me know and rarely do they want me to make any changes. +1 for this ^. Your band mates should be the ones judging the bass line, because you are part of a team now.

]Here’s a video of me playing my old Alembic Spoiler with TI Jazz rounds. It starts out finger style but moves on to plenty of picking. You could have kept rocking on with Motorbreath! You had me about to jump into a mosh pit!

I happen to know from reading countless biographies that The Beatles understood quite a bit of music theory. There is also a good YouTube video on this that goes into more depth. There is a famous story about how Paul McCartney and George Harrison took a bus across the entire length of...

“You mean the light set (40-96) is still too stiff for you?” Oh, I got the medium 44’s. Is there a really substantial difference?

P.S. I forgot to mention I play with a pick 100% of the time.
