Try the Sadowsky Blue Label Flats if you want the TIJF-like singing mids in a stiffer string. The light gauge is just a touch higher in tension (pull) and with a slightly stiffer hex core. My main player has sported the same light gauge set for over 9 years now. What they lack in the woody...

Check out Acon Acoustica. They have some stem separation tools and lots of clean up tools, as well as some mastering tools. Cheaper than RX, but just as effective.

Sadowsky Blue label flats are killer on a Pbass and worth every penny. The V1's on my CS'59P are over 9yrs old now and still going strong.

Sadowsky Blue Label flats if you want that TIJF like mid magic but in slightly stiffer string (thin hex core) ...... makes going back and forth from the DTF's much easier to deal with. And for @JimmyM , they don't roll under your fingers like the round core'd TIJF's.

Have you listened to it recorded in the mix? Easy to get lost in the weeds without really hearing it out front. Certainly, all of the pups you list have a flavor, but they are all unmistakably P sounding. I have several different P pups here, including a stock wound Fralin, and they all have...

Mine sounded just like that at first..... they turned to mush a few months later. Like, seriously dull.... and not in a good thumpy way. Good luck OP.. I've given up on a lower tension/lower stiffness thumpy flat. I've bitten the bullet and strung up some Olintos. Not horribly stiff, and...

It's got to be the Alleva Coppolo pups....... I've searched for replacements for the Sadowsky Blue Label flats (back when Roger went to V2's) and Black Label Flats for a while, including going back to both FL's and FS's. In fact, the FS's are still here.... each set stayed on for about 5...

They have much more clarity than the FX, FL or FS. They actually sound closer to the 760M than the lighter gauges do. I'm digging them so far..... but have only had them on since April. They are replacing an old set of Sadowsky Black Label Flats and have done great.

A good set of worn in SS Lo-riders are my favorite rounds..... they seem to get puncher as they age.

Good post..... We've done all of our releases ITB with stock interface pre's and converters, with the last album spending 30 weeks on the Roots Rock Review - Blues Rock chart, and ending up #40 for the year. I'm a softube junkie and everything I do revolves around the console 1. I also love...

I prefer a clean di, and reamp after taking both a mic'd cab and a direct out from my Shaw B150. All processing after that is in the box. SoundRadix Auto-align gets used to align to the original di. From there I can mix and match. Lately, I've been using Kush's REDDI on the direct line. I...

I like both flats and rounds, but there are some caveats...... The flats need some character in the mids, and not a whole lot going on sub fundamental. When I read or hear folks expressing their dislike for the mud or "atonal" E strings on flats, DTF's come to mind (not the 1954's). I prefer...

I can't answer for today, but there was a time in '91 thru '92 I couldn't get a good set of the swing bass strings. Dead right out of the pack. Each and every one..... And even before that, a good set would only last a few short weeks.... but I swore by them. After that bad stretch I...

I think the softer transient on the tijf's really narrows their versatility for me. It's kinda the same with the LTF's...... I've come to realize the round core flat thing ain't for me. At least with tijf's it gives them that woody tone when combined with the lively mids.... ltf's just sound...
