I keep my hands very clean and as dry as I can when playing so my strings tend to not go dead very fast if I'm careful.

Have you tried the alcohol soak method?
+1! I make sure that I don't even put on hand lotion until I'm done playing my bass. Plus, I usually don't keep a bass long enough to wear out strings! :roll eyes:Hoping that will be changing WHEN I receive both of my new Fortes.
Yep! Too late! :roll eyes: I bought a Fridge!!!Ampeg SVT-810e
I see different bassist mixing speaker sizes but not the pro's so much. I'd love to hear a sound clip of your Mesa Powerhouse 1000! Plz
One thing that I like about the "Fridge" SVT-810e is how you can split the cab electronically into 2 410's with 2 seperate amps if you wish to. So theoretically 2 bassist could play on the same cab? It should be arriving Friday!!!
Then I'll test the limits of my PF-500.

On my CRFM, i feel like the 40DC's are lacking oomph when soloed. They are upgraded to 18v with EMG BT preamp. When blended 50-50, it's awesome. I just get useless tones when soloed though. It could be my amp, however.
How is the BQC preamp?
Well I just ordered myself a half stack. A GK 1001rb-II head and a gk Neo 410. The head was $640 and the Neo was $400. Can't wait!

Oh and am I the only one here that uses GK's?

iceboxbass said:No...there's several here. JPS is a GK user I believe. The rest of us...we've seen the light.![]()
