I wonder what this thing would sound like with Chromes or Deep Talkin flats or TI flats…..

Yes Churchwarder666. Truly valid. I don’t know why this unoffensive comment was disliked so much.

you’re being a pompous prick. He is obviously being humble in his review. I’m 90% sure you’re a troll, but have you ever considered seeking help for your desperate need for attention?

U’ll need to get thick flatwounds, but not all flatwounds will get you this rich bright tone and you will have to change them quite frequently….infact Steve Harris changes his strings after every gig to keep that tone going

I tried this bass not long ago. It’s fantastic but he’s right about the neck! Bit uncomfortable at first but probably easy to get used to. Only downside to the bass is the over £1,000 price tag.

Frankly, tomfrankly… I have no idea how you could know how I “act” or behave. I merely reacted to what I perceived as arrogance and insulting ignorance. The video is callous and ignorant, I reacted accordingly. My friends in life I treat with respect and love. I’m sorry if I offended your hero. Lol! PS. If you have anything constructive to add please do so! If not don’t.

Does Harris use roundwound or flatwound?
