Dependson the sound you want. Theres nothing like old strings to get a smooth rounded sound.James Jamerson aparanty never changed his strings…(well that and recording all of motowns greatest hits lying on the floor cus your to drunk to stand, makes him one of the greatest in my opinion. :D
Sounds good to me :D
But it’s true, isn’t it?: It depends on the sound you want. Use giant elastic bands, if that’s how you want to sound ;)
Personally, I prefer the sound the strings after they’ve ‘settled’ a little. Hmm, maybe Tatty and I can do a deal. He gets them for the first three days, then passes them on to me :D

okay … thanks for thinking about the 20 euro extra, that come to the 2500 euro costs for the bass.
Do you like a trace elliot amp too? Lets see … i would say 500 watt x4 with a top and 30 equalizer?
At least, that is what i would buy for money.

Has anyone tried the new Ashdown Bass Drive plus? They’re only just out, and I can’t find any reviews of them yet.
(Or any of the other new Ashdown pedals?)

I like peavey. I’ve only got a crappy £250 C4 job… but its better than anything else I’ve played (high-end Fenders, Musicman, Ibanez, Gibson). The only cometition I can see it having is from Warwick or Rickenbaker.

Fender ARE crap, I like the sound of Rickenbaker, but not the play. Of course I’ve never played a Carl Thompson- but it just COULDN’T be bad. A guy with 45+ years of experience spends 2-4 years making it, it WILL be amazing.

I LOVE my Yamaha TRB 5. They are a great bass - if you don’t like Fender necks try these, they are very thin like a guitar neck. I am not keen on Fender necks either but i bought one just to try and get used to it. Surely all those millions of bassists couldn’t be wrong!
