Thanks for the tip on the strings, will definitely keep an eye out!
I have a Scarlett Solo and I run sim amps basically. Too many hobbies, too little dime for all of them, not planning on buying a real amp in the near future. If I ever buy a bass amp it's going to be Green. Saving up...

Noice, Jimmy of Mars Red Sky had a Matamp Green (Gt200?) going through Orange OBC cabs when I saw them which sounded so good, I don't think I've seen any other bassists use one live.
I've got a Hiwatt though it needs some bench time: re-valve and bias and possibly some caps need replacing, just can't justify the spend until I can actually use it again at volume. I love cranking up a valve bass amp!

Might not need new pups, decent strings and a nice preamp will do more. Sansamp Bass Driver ftw, you can pick them up off ebay for under £150.
Then a Russian Big Muff Pi :)
Tip on looking out for heavy guage strings, keep an eye out for discounts on 6/7 string packs and discard the skinny ones. Some bargains crop up sometimes.
