Ok so strings are on and she is tuned up, still have to adjust the pickup hight. Cleaned the fretboard real good, polished up the frets bridge is on and put on a set of D addario nickle wounds(these might be short lived), its picture time

I'm really liking these around the house. I'll use them out one of these days.

These inexpensive transmitters work very good. I have a set of a different brand but I wouldn't be surprised if they both had the same guts. I get two and a half hours out of it which doesn't work for my gigs as I'm usually doing 3 to 5 sets. Have you ever ran yours from full charge to dead? If so, how long does it last?

No, but I have used them for over a couple hours straight and likely 4 or a little more off and on several times. I didn't need to charge them after the 4 or more round, but did for the heck of it. I think they said they were good for up to 8hrs. I need to just use them to see if I can get anywhere ear the 8hrs claimed.

I'm using them at home (for now) because a D'A cord got a short (after light use at home), so instead of another cord I thought these would be nice and ditch the cord coiled up laying around.

Bass looks nice.


I see what you did...and did....and did....:laugh:
 
The place I was at last night had a house Ampeg 810 cab. Every band seemed to be using a different GK head with it. I was not complaining.
Mine was a 'blue line', mid 70s SVT. It was "OK". For that kinda $ and that much PITA, I expect more than "OK". Sold it as soon as that gig ended.
 
In anticipation of getting my SIT Power Steels, I slapped some Roto 66s on the '06 to be able to compare. When I first got the '06 I tried the Roto's and it was just OK. Today they sounded really good. Difference was I'm using the BBE Sonic Stomp (Maximizer) this time. (Can't explain what it does, but does something subtly that does make a difference. I never turn it off now.) There was a little odd honk at times when it was just me, but not bad at all. Sounded good with fingers and pick. I really liked the GHS Precision Flats, but these sounded good enough to leave on. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to the SITs to arrive later this week. Very optimistic! By the way, I love playing this bass.
