The Mike Lull Club Part 4

[Bipslapper]

And Pete

Thanks Playa, you gots my back. For the record, Greg Bump owes me some beers after posting this Rocket Music love.. and not that Bud Light crap, pal!

 

[Dredmahawkus]

I got my new one from Greg too....

Foderas are really close to prosteels just a bit warmer.....and they last forever! I havent killed a set yet...I change them every few months.....and really didnt have to....only did because I have a ton of them!
DRs always seem dead to me I dont know why...i tried like 5 different kinda and all of them sounded like dead strings!

For roundwound, I like the Prosteels, and EBMM Cobalts.
For flats, I like Sadowsky, DR, and Labella black tapewounds.

 

[bobicidal]

Another vote for ProSteels. Zing for days

Sadowsky flats are my favorite.....I have Labella black tapes on my new Carvin I just traded for and I love them too! they have a really nice tone! I took them off to try some GHS precision flats but then put the black tapes back on...they sounded much better!

It has arrived!

Very classy. What preamp do you have in it?

 

[Holdsg]

Fantastic

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Very classy. What preamp do you have in it?

It has the standard Bartolini preamp. The main differences from the normal standard model M5V are:
34" scale length
1.75" nut
Ash body
Vintage frets (small)
Schaller straplocks

AWESOME!!!!!

 

[Dredmahawkus]

I just put some TI flats on my TC4....I so wish they were a little less elasticy! cuz they sound wonderful!

 

[fourstringdrums]

Try GHS Precision flats

 

[Dredmahawkus]

I actually bought a set of them for my Carvin......and took them off in 10 minutes! put the labella black tapes back on it.....the TC4 is a jazz.....I am going to try to get used to the TIs...they been sitting in my drawer for a while....
I had labella flex flats on it for a while and the E string is just too weak on the flexs....TIs sound great! maybe I will try the GHS on it....I thought I was a jazz stainless guy....but I am really enjoying Ps with flats lately! I really cant wait for my P4 to be finished! only like 9 more weeks! lol
you know that Carvin is a cheap bass.....but some reason it sounds wonderful! I am seriously hoping my P4 sounds as good....I am sure it will!!! I have my favorite Sadowsky flats waiting for it!!
