GP, I'm sure you've covered this before, in earlier posts, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating a question, but you have flats on that Ibanez, correct?

Yes, tapes. D'addario EB92M. Had to use medium scale, otherwise silks overlap at bridge and nut.
I have tapes on my Yamaha. La Bella 750N. Came with the bass when I bought it (used). Use that for some of our softer and acoustic stuff.
I use mine mostly for situations that an upright-which I don't play-is appropriate.
Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I mentioned it before ordering it. I'll update my sig. Again. And thanks for spending an extra 26 € of my money.
We're here to help!
I use the kit P + flats for everything, does not have to be "dull" or "upright-ish", as You heard in some clips I've posted previously
In fact most of the time my treble is at 10-11 on the rumble and 6-8/10 on the bass to be not so clicky-clacky-zingie. Unless I wanna rock!

Since I have one of them thar new-fangled modeling Rumbles, I use the Motown amp model (Ampeg model) that I added some chorus to. Bass is all the way up, middle at about 1-2, treble about 11. I adjust the tone setting on my bass to taste. I like it for Allman Brothers stuff and some Beatles acoustic stuff we do.
I just read this. They only state the obvious, that the Rumble is still number one. It's also 11 1/2 pounds lighter than number two's copycat attempt.

Not all flats and pickups made equal, I use theese on my kit P:
Steve Harris P-Bass Pickup | Seymour Duncan
Steve Harris Custom Flatwound | 50-110 • Rotosound Music Strings
Still can have the warm round reggie-ish vibe if I need to.

I wish there were a translation of the lyrics.

something like this:
I open what's long closed
Evening winks and it tells all that
You know my affection and You look strong
You wish to believe You play without risk
I give desire to Your wings
You'll tell tomorrow what happened yesterday
What's the air like, how's life
Careful what You ask for, it could reach You
chorus:
So live!
While light comes from the sun
While fighting for You
And ask
When You're not angry anymore
2nd verse
I give desire to Your wings
You'll tell tomorrow what happened yesterday
What's the air like, how's life
Careful what You ask for, it could reach You
I'll be the wings of Your desire tonight
Lust's burning and I don't tell twice
You want that, I want that too
We got the day and we got the night
chorus x2
2nd verse again
