    Why do you use Fender strings?

    Were the older 7250s you're talking about the ones with black silk? I loved those, but I ordered 7250s recently, and they came with no silk, and don't feel nearly as good as I remember. Where are the black silk fenders?!

    Pro/Con Piccolo String Gauges?

    I just found that GHS makes a piccolo set of [.018 .030 .040 .050], so I've ordered that along with a .065 GHS. Thanks for all the information everyone, I'll let you know how these strings are. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Pro/Con Piccolo String Gauges?

    So you're recommending D'Acquisto or Rotosound .018 steel plains? Thank you. Can you tell me how you like each string? .052 seems pretty thin for that E string when most D strings only a whole step below in pitch are .060 or .065. And how is the .020 G string?

    Pro/Con Piccolo String Gauges?

    I have a Fender Mexi-Jazz 5, 22 frets (which I'm pretty sure is 34", right?). I want to make it exactly one octave up, including the B, so to tune it B-E-A-D-G. I will most likely be ordering D'Addarios from JustStrings. __A__|__B__ .025 or .028 for the high G. Will .028 be able to do...

    Anyone use Chicago Iron pedals?

    And if no one uses Chicago Iron, I'd accept some recommendations! I'm in a hip-hop band, so when I'm not playing all Mo-towny, I need a fuzz that's more synth than rock or metal. I still want it to be a fuzz distortion, and not a straight synth, but on the synth end of the spectrum. I...

    Anyone use Chicago Iron pedals?

    Just looking for a new fuzz/distortion, did some youtube searching today and came across this demo: However, I cannot find any other reviews of using this pedal with bass, and that video of it being used is so short and limited. I've asked the poster to make a more in depth video with it...
