hey there, friends,
i just purchased a 23 inch tiny (boy) bass, with 5 strings (i use E-C) and a p bass pickup. fretless with dogal flats.
sounds good, except the low E string where the notes are allmost unidentifiable, no definition at all. i believe is due to lack of harmonic content...
So I am pondering on experimenting with swapping out the low E string of my 4 string bass with a stainless steel roundwound, the other strings being nickel-plated roundwounds, to improve definition of the lowest string.
Anyone else tried this, and did it work?
