haha your TI strings were totally dead:) no, the TI`s are back on the bass now, just tried a set of ghs pressure wounds that day for a little more brightness , nice strings and i will use them again but your dead TI strings and my ampeg b15s are just pure motown

Did you have stock AC's in your LG first? What prompted the change?

since patrik rarely posts ill give you the cliffs notes. he wanted it to sound more like his 64 jazz which those old basses have lower wind pickups and are thus airier up top. not as grindy. he pulled the pre first. didnt do the trick. acoustically it still sounded like wanted though. hence the pickup change.the nord 70's wind really doesnt need to be called a 70's wind but it works from a marketing stand point i guess. theyre just a set with plain enamel wire and less turns than the 60's set.

Cool -- Thanks man.

My LG's sound pretty darn 60's like as-is. I couldn't imagine swapping out the pickups.

I'm gonna' guess Joel is deciding which one fits him best and will pass the other on to some other lucky person.

Just a guess, but really, who needs two LG's, right? :D

No, it's actually not me. I'm still deciding what to do. I really think I may keep both. I thought the CAOJ would take out the Surf Green bass, but that hasn't been the case.

Something else may go instead.

In any case, I wonder who's LG5 it is. If it's Sunburst... this could get ugly for me! :hiding:

Hey Joel,

Man, that Surf Green is a special one. I've played a bunch of them, and that one is 'it' IMO. I'd hold onto that. Probably the prettiest bass I've ever seen, and as you know, it plays like butter. Hard to improve on it.

If I wasn't such an ash maple 70's guy, I'd still have it!

Ken,

I could not agree more. That bass is absolutely 'IT.' It's not going anywhere.
