My favorite strings! You have to get used to them, and you probably need to do a setup on that bass (as they have lower tension). You might have to raise the pups on the treble sideā¦ Once that is done - pure bliss to play
I have the Jazz flats on my Jazz bass. Trial and error dialing in the set-up on that one so I am prepared for that. Do they āslapā well? I moved flats off the StingRay and put EB rounds on it and it slaps okay. Just want the TIās to have a decent slap sound.
Every tuner I ownāeven the UniTune from TC Electronicsāhas trouble finding the low-B on a 5-string . Iām hoping that the Peterson StroboStomp proves to be the holy grail.
I had the same problem and got it sorted with the Peterson tuner app for IOS and Android.
Pretty good deal for a Peterson strobe tuner for less than $10.
You guys really need to start using the search function on the forum.
Here is a link to extensive coverage on this topic on the forum.
IIRC, the Android version of the tuner did not have half the functionality of the iOS versions and the iOS version was not compatible with iPods. So count me out.
Hardware is preferable anyway since I share equipment with my hubby who will be performing this month. I think heād rather use a KLIQ tuner pedal (retail $29.99!) than rely on a phone app.
Btw, the StroboStomp arrived today and itās woah right out the box. This pedal is built like a tank and it found the low B first pluck.
Coin-operated was a joke. IAP = In-app purchases. The app is initially inexpensive comes with a lot; it also has a lot more you can purchase as additional features like oscilloscopes, from within the app later if you want them.
Well, the Strobostomp is exactly as advertised. I was amazed by how far off the clip-ons I had were when intonating. It does what it is supposed to do. I have to admit, chords do sound mych cleaner when strings are tuned perfectly especially in the higher registers. I am actually more excited about the TI Jazz rounds. Man these things allow an action so low that a whisper can sound a note. I had to adjust the truss and action height to be able to play without buzzing. I let the neck settle overnight so hopefully tonight I can play with no extraneous noises. They require a delicate touch but your fingers can fly because the effort to fret a note is almost non-existent. Now, I know what the hype is about and why they cost. No problems with the light gauges and they intonated just fine after adjusting the neck and action. And from what I have read, they settle in nicely over time. I am now a TI fanboi. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention. I love the way Sterling necks are adjusted. That little wheel is so much easier to use (at least for me).
