The more I try different strings the more I'm convinced they all have in more in common than they don't regardless of brand. I used to be really swayed by the marketing machine but not so much these days. I say that to say whenever a "favourite" of mine becomes too expensive I jump ship to something cheaper and I can't say I've been overly disappointed if at all. I think it was Paul McCartney that was asked what his favourite string choice was and he replied "Long shiny ones" I like that response 😊

P.S - as you can see ive fitted a bridge cover. The thumbrocker thumb rest will be removed before sale and will leave no trace as this is a drop in mod. Very sunny here so anything other than the aforementioned dent will sun sun glare. More pics to follow once ive cleared space- 1 reply

Thanks for your comments-yes a truly beautiful looking and sounding bass. -

Respectfully, why is it always the sellers with the highest asking prices who make the least effort with their sales pitches?

@Bilbo and @casapete Thanks for this. It encourages me to think that there are people out there who can do a job for us, I just need to find them. We've been through three guitarists who all turned down me sending the charts, I sent videos of our band playing the songs, spotify playlists of the originals so they could see the arrrangements we use. We stick to the originals because we want to avoid ny surprises. We've only changed key in three or four songs and that was clearly marked on the set list.It's just staggered me that anyone would promise to learn a set by a given date and not put the effort in up front to be able to deliver. Nice people completely deluded about the effort needed to deliver a 30 song set. I've not got the skills to dep at the last minute but I've learned sets to help out mates. It is a lot of work, I'll live with the songs in the car for as long as it takes, play through the songs with the chord sheets on day one picking out chord changes rhythms and the bits I need to worry about. Gigging musicians are a different breed. The trouble is most of them are already gigging

If anyone in Bristol is still looking for tonight's Friday 6th June entertainment, I'm on at The Folk House with Steve Tilston, with the added ingredients of Keith Warmington on harmonica and Tony Orrell on percussion. This is a relatively new project, although Steve and the other two go back a long way.. Keith was on his first album in 1971! Reet looking forward to this one.

I mostly post clips of rehearsal jams and short gear demos. Engagement’s decent when I keep things casual and consistent, but I’ve noticed longer videos get less attention than quick clips.

Sorry

Totally agree with everything above, some very good points made, but here's the kicker, or it was for me anyway. The hours. In the round, the entertainment game is predominantly a night time/awkward time business. You have got to be prepared to want to work all hours and that includes studio time too. The phone can ring at any time and you must never say no. It's a tough business and after 15 years for me personally I'd had enough. Also, a lot of it is personality driven, ie.. you have got to be the person other people love to be around and likewise, do you love being around other people, collaborating, sharing etc etc? Its a funny game.

Man this is a miserable reply to a lighthearted topic. Ive played in originals bands and covers bands (and jazz, which is sort of half way between the two) and experienced a lot of this. Worst experience I had was an Alsatian dog nudging - and breaking - a moving desk which resulted in the gig being cancelled.
-
Enough with the flucking metric/imperial debate! This is "How was your gig last night?" FFS! It's bad enough when people start using it as "Basschatters upcoming gigs" but I've come to peace with that. But this irrelevant bickering can GTF - it's making the relevant stuff disappear with undue haste. Take it to bloody Off Topic where it belongs!

Yeah, wouldn’t want that on a Dingwall for certain. -

Thanks, I'll have a measure up tomorrow. -
As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £12.90 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears these seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.-
