NBSD-new bass vi day!

[Synchro]

Congrats. It’s a great instrument and puts you in a small club. I’ve had two and my current MIJ VI has been a dream. It’s a lot of fun and if you are doing any multitrack recording it can make for some interesting results if you double a lead guitar part.

I was looking for Pyramid Bass vi strings and they were in the 80€ range (flats, though). I did it before and I can't do it enough: I strongly recommend Newtone strings. They cost like 15£, are handmade in the UK and sound and play phenomenal. They use larger cores for the low e and a string, so you get more tension and a thicker tone on a .100 e and .080 a string. These are imo the most bestest roundwound strings you can get for a VI.

Edit: I did some sort of a review here: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... 7#p1600572

I use these too. Definitely a great improvement, especially for the low E

I’ve used LaBella flats on my VI from pretty much day one. They’ve treated me quite well.
