Many Bass Players are now looking for smoother feel, with reduced finger noise, & a vintage-inspired tone. That's why I offer both a traditional Flat Wound & Semi Flat Wound Bass Strings.

S.I.T Power Flats are a traditional ribbon wound flat wound design for the smoothest feel & warmest, most controlled tone. An excellent choice for when you are chasing that old school, Motown tone or even a bit of a Bobby Vega vibe.

S.I.T Silencer Semi Flats are a semi-flat compression wound string that retains more brightness, flexibility, & attack. While still reducing finger noise & string drag. Great for Vintage instruments where you want to be mindful of fret wear. Also my no.1 choice for Fretless Basses or for Bass Players that want the smooth feel of a Flat, without loosing so much treble in their Bass Tone.

Check out my full range of S.I.T bass Strings & get in touch if you'd like to know more.

Stay In Tune CRT Coated Strings are nickel-plated steel electric strings, that are treated with CRT (Corrosion Resistant Technology). This coating helps extend the life of the strings while maintaining a rich, warm tone and organic feel of an uncoated string.

Stay in Tune Strings (S.I.T) are manufactured in the USA using the highest quality materials to deliver organic tone, great feel, & tuning stability. Next time you are needing new strings, give S.I.T a try.

My MusicMan Mod Pack gives you everything you need to turn your Bass into a tone shaping monster.

Choose from a 2 or 3 Band Pre-Wired Bartolini Preamp. Both with Active/Passive Push/Pull & the 3b option gives you a Push/Pull Frequency Shift on the Mids Control. All wired to the shape of the MM Control Plate for a drop in replacement.

Both are paired with one of my favorite Humbuckers, the Bartolini Classic.

The Classic has a rich, deep voice with lots of high-end clarity & warmth. When you dig in, they are responsive & growly. When you pull back, they are clear & sweet.

Full details in the link below.

If you find your humbuckers a little harsh for your liking. Lindy Fralin Hum-Cancelling P90's could be the answer you have been looking for. I have swapped these out for customers that have had the same problem, & it's always been a great success.
A genuine P90 tone with no hum & in the Humbucker Casings, no modifications to your guitar are needed. A drop in replacement.
They will undoubtedly push your amp hard & provide you with that snarly midrange & top-end “bark” we have come to expect & love from a P90. Suitable for many music styles, this pickup can scream & clean up nicely for jazz, blues or rock.
