Sheldon made a video saying they should be 3.5mm from the string when fretting the 24th fret. But I noticed on every bass they ship they are much MUCH closer.... Whats the spacing on yours?

Id like to try them but Im worried - bass is a Dingwall NG3

Putting a HPF after the input made a good bit of difference! How much low do people typically cut? I did 90hz

I took a look at the output jack and it looked like it had one bad connection. I re-soldered it but the issue is the same. Ive...

Derp on the auto switch! Thanks!

I know its supposed to stop strings from overpowering others and smoothing out the volume string to string. But I have no idea what the basic setting are supposed to be for a compressor. Here's something I dialled in on my AxeFX. Essentially its just making it so the volume from string to...

The bass in my avatar is being delivered to me on Friday! Ng3 6 string in white <3

I noticed dingwall strings are not air/vaccum sealed. Which I was super surprised by Do they have issues with corrosion/sounding dull out the pack?

Anyone?
