How twangy can the high C get?

Not sure what the strings are. They're vintage though.

This thing can get seriously twangy, or whatever sound you want, just purely with attack, let alone what fiddling with the knobs can do.

Where abouts on the bass guitar do you guys pick/pluck?

I pick/pluck between the neck and bridge pickup (although slightly skewed towards neck) as it's the right mix of boom and definition for me.

Dirty little plucker - closer to the bridge than the neck, except for reggae - closer the the neck.

I’m a pick only kinda guy and I think I’m pretty much equally between the pickups

Recently got a Squier 70's Classic Vibe Precision for messing around with at home and it's wicked!

Generally between the neck pick up and the fingerboard fingerstyle or thumb

If I’m using a heavier plectrum then sometimes closer to the bridge. Palm mute with soft plectrum then very close to the bridge


Thumping, then it depends on the Bass and what EQ

Dave Cheeseboy Guitar Stuff May have Chromes cheaper

The price of flatwounds exploded maybe 12-15 months ago. The Sadowsky set I was going to order is $143 US

“You could have more tomatoes if you stopped buying Bass Pedals” said Mrs Foal
