Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Bass strings long scale
1 of 2 found this helpful Strings are personal preference first and foremost - i'm not going to tell you these are the best strings ever but rather
they are another choice of "tool" to use to achieve a means to an end if wanting more lower mid thump and presence.
I placed these on my Fender '62 reissue Jazz Bass (dual concentric passive eq's / volumes) with a replacement fretless ebony board unlined neck. Instantly , i was taken back to that '60's warm MoTown sound. These strings are the warmest i've ever played and they are easy on the fingers - but, i wasn't immediately won over by their feel which is super easy and smooth, but for myself , probably requires me to change up my fingering pull and fretting - which i don't want to pursue at this time. With these strings there is more of a contact to the fingerboard - and that affects your dynamics until you get used to fingering it just right. I also had to raise the action on my setup to avoid the ping
against the fingerboard because of the extra mass of string material held against it. So , i took them off and put back on the DR Sunbeams or the Fodera nickel rounds i am so accustomed to using - by far these two other string sets have different toneful properties that i enjoy and have learned to eq to my liking and are easy playing as well. I like the Thomastik Jazz Bass strings for what they are and would use them exclusively for jazz and 60's music flavor - but, i would have to make some adjustments to my technique to get the most out of this string set that i'm not willing to chase right now. Who knows ... you may be naturally gifted at using these strings and they might react better on your instrument - i don't dislike the Thomastiks ... i'm just not willing to change right now to fully appreciate using them.

Excellent Marshall in a box pedal format
0 of 1 found this helpful Take my review with a bit of insight please as i am a pedal-holic and not just for the sake of having them but looking for that one that does it better than the last one. That being said , no pedal is perfect for any and every rig setup but will rather shine in the right chemistry of gear and player ability. So, the DLS (Dirty Little Secret) is a magic bullet for my rig giving me closer than before Marshall tones and feel from a pedal. It pairs very nicely with my Wampler Plexi Drive and i recommend these two together. Now my experience with this pedal is boosted by the fact my amp runs EL-34 tubes (a classic Marshall staple tube) and that i set the amp to a very clean setting as my clean tone - which happens to be mostly Marshall in its inherent voicing and circuit design. I prefer distortion from a box more than from the amp to gain a tighter more focused tone / feel ... not a fan of heavy tube amp compression when pushing an amp hard. Add the fact that my cabinet is loaded with Celestion G12-30's and you can see why my experience is even better. So, if your rig has some Marshall basic ingredients already , this pedal should do wonders for you ... the brilliant EQ section is done nicely on this pedal also. I think of this pedal as a wannabe Marshall helping out a wannabe Marshall rig ... together combined to make a believer out of the listener.
