Just delivered this morning- UPS was early for once (timewise, still on the same day). It smokes, not surprisingly. The flats are beautifully broken in and the setup is wonderful- normally I’d take a new to me Lakland over to Carl Pedigo for a once over but I honestly don’t think this needs...

The now discontinued exposed pole piece stacked dual coil pickups should answer this, as my understanding is they're the same pickups, just with exposed coils... Edit: looks like the answer is is radiused https://www.talkbass.com/classifieds/f-bass-bn5-olympic-white.1579466/

The obvious answer is https://fbass.com/product/f-bass-boost-pedal-26/ ;)

GearTree is alright… 👍

FYI- no affiliation, although I’ve bought stuff from them and been very happy with my dealings with them https://manchestermusicmill.com/sadowsky-light-bass-case-used/ https://manchestermusicmill.com/sadowsky-teardrop-bass-case-used/

I'm no Tom Bowlus, but I've got the NXT212 (and a 1x12), and the HG410x, and while never playing them together, doing it back to back, imho the 212 would probably overpower the HG410x- it's a bit louder and definitely goes lower... of course, this depends on your amp and all

Pretty sure licking your amp voids the warranty ;)

I went in to a GC a few weeks ago and it was the same thing... some things never change :laugh:

I'm in Chicago and have an HG410x (which I love), but I also am lacking in free time at the moment.. .

No offense to Jeff and co., but I don’t see anything but that LeFay :drool: :drool: :drool:

Peterson’s a local to Chicago company, did you try reaching out to them? There’s a guy in the Chicago Bass Players FB group that works there…
