This is what's listed on the Swedish Wikipedia: Fender Precision Fender Bassman 100 W Rat Distortion Dunlop strings But noone can safely say HOW it was recorded.Was it a clean & an ovendriven track?Just one perhaps?What about mics? Those slides & trill he does on ''Damn Deal Done'' are unreal.

I NEED TO KNOW TOO!!!!

I wonder what's the maximum gauge that can go through the body, in case .175 cannot be used...

I was wondering the same thing, whether 'long scale' means 'long enough' to go thru but it's up to the individual manufactorer. i emailed Thomann last week about stringing the bass on top & they strongly advised me against it!!Be extra carefull...

Will do so Thomas, thank you.

On a side note, the Harley is worth way more than the 360 euros i spent for it.Seriously.

I see.For some mundane reason i thought the exact opposite of them...!

Because their strings are tapered & that tapered section is too short to go body-through.They say so too, somewhere in the FAQ sector. what was wrong with the Rotosound?Too bright?Harsh?

So lately i got my hand on a Harley Benton BZ-7000 7-string bass.It's a 35'' scale bass, strung through body only.My intention is to get rid of the High F & get low instead. I emailed Bassstringsonline.com as well as Conklin about a month ago with no reply so far, regarding which string(s)...

Neat! Let me know how it's working for you.Especially if you overdrive your sound with another pedal.If it's not too much trouble...

If it comes down to this, i promise you'll be the first to know.

I'm sure this is a stupid question but...DECL?

Getting hold of an OptiFET won't be a problem as i am on the waiting list already.I just want to make sure this is what i want so in case it isn't i can clear up my spot so someone else who needs it can get it.One needs to play fair with rarities like this...

Thank you guys for your replies. What worries me about FEA the most is: 1)Whether it can handle heavy compression well.Between picks, slap & some thumb playing occasionally, i'll have a wide range to deal with. 2)I'm a bit worried that comp coloration might do injustice to the sound because of...

Hey guys, This is not a question about what each pedal can or cannot do, in terms of features.I'm familiar with compression but since it's impossible for me to testdrive both...here we go: I play mostly with a pick & while i don't slap a lot i do pop quite often.I went on safari on YT to listen...
