Did you find them easy to communicate with. Been tempted to order a short scale.
Is your pickup different to what they have in production?

They’re very easy to deal with, this pickup is a special version for a long scale. But they sell short scale versions of these as std

I’ve asked the Seller to join up here. He’s got a NYC P/J Sadowsky on the way

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Isn't that the sound of rawkkkkkkk!
I really like half-rounds on it. I have a Weta P as well, a weird one that Dave gifted me, with a P-90 in the neck and normal P pickup in the bridge, one I got from you IIRC. That sounded really ultra-spanky with weird overtones.

Taking a P bass along to rehearsal tonight actually. I do have rounds on it and it just delivers the most sublime P Bass growl. Heavenly indeed

Just a TM deal
I used to get Sadowsky from Sydney dealer, I was a big fan of their black label flats (LaBella) but they don’t make them anymore

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I haven’t decided what Bass to trial them on but it won’t be the Precision
Yes changing from Rounds to Flats can be a thing. At leas5 once a week I play a Bass with SS Rounds as penance for my sins

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I think if I was gigging heaps of Rock Music and a Precision was my #1 then probably SS Rounds. The more plectrum the higher the likelihood too.
