Post by: Basvarken on December 13, 2018, 08:16:36 AM: Well, I do think that saddle is corrected for intonation.

Post by: Pilgrim on December 15, 2018, 12:58:55 PM: Sounds fine to me! Add a set of flats and let them mature for a year or two, and it ought to sound great.
Title: Re: Versoul
Post by: Rob on December 15, 2018, 08:35:50 PM: The flats might help but for some reason I hear more high register than bass.
Title: Re: Versoul
Post by: Basvarken on December 16, 2018, 01:48:48 AM: I think that has more to do with the way he plays and what he plays. Plus the way it's recorded.

Too much piezo in the mix, I believe.

Post by: Pilgrim on December 16, 2018, 11:14:59 AM: With a piezo, it often helps to use a preamp before the amp for an impedance change.

That might be why I hear upper harmonics on the clip.
