That's the PS66. Princess Series.Yes. And as a matter of fact, easier on the fingers that Cobalts come to think of it.

Great to hear! Wish I were in FL to drop by.
D'A Half-rounds felt grabby. GHS Pressurewounds sounded very much like the EBCFs on my VP. That Alloy52 seems to give some great mids, but still provide firm lows something like flats.

The EB like my SG is a fun little bass. Solid deep tone, nicely built. Congrats on the purchase. There's a club for those as well, chock full of players with lots of useful information.
SG & EB Bass Club
Once you get it, pop on over with a pic and get a number and some pointers on how to get the most out of the bass.

I run Roto Flats on mine and love love love the sound and feel. The standard length worked just fine on this SS bass...
For the record, I put Cobalt Flats on my SS Gibson Memphis (exact same bridge to tuner length as the SG/EB SS)...
my brother drove an 82 convertible (made at karmann in Deutschland) and my sister drove an 83 made in the US 4 door.... totally different beasts...
I rode in a diesel Rabbit with a co-worker up and over the Grapevine (the road through the mountains that separate the L.A. Basin and the Central Valley) and back in 1986. I wanted to get out and push it.

Wow, only familiar with two of them...truth is, building tube amps is not really that hard so there are some really rare amps out there....thanks Dude.
Yeah, I’m thinking it Is not a great idea to cut those below the silks. You could try the Gibson Flats; they come in short scale. Sweetwater has them...
Ok, I think I have some I can try.

From my dealing with Burns and Watkins basses - I've been introduced to British guitar/amp makers from the early years. A lot of interesting stuff going on...
Consider that Burns was the 1st company to do an active system (early '60s)
Oops! They were some other strings I'd removed when I put on EBCF's. I put the old strings(half rounds?)in the EB package and labeled it, just couldn't read my own writing.

now that’s COOL! never occurred to think about the first active implementation...always thought for bass it happened with the Stingray... any cool links you can send over? curious on what it was....effect? EQ? Pre?
You need an AEB for that gig.(not that a 'Bird can't handle it)fires well contained, getting called back for gigs
