    Love Rotosound swing bass SM66, but...

    The GHS Super Steels surprised me. I'm normally not a huge fan of stainless steel stings (except Rotos) but I really liked the midrange character...

    Love Rotosound swing bass SM66, but...

    PJ bass, but J pickup is much louder than P pickup…

    Except on the Fender Ultra P-basses where the bridge/J-pickup is actually louder than the P-pickup. I don't think I've experienced this on ANY...

    Sovtek Delux compatible with 5 String Ray?

    The Green Russian is the best Muff for bass from EHX ever. Better than any of their Bass Muffs IMO.

    What's the scoop on Sandberg?

    Alternative to Rotosound RS66LDN / RB45
