  1. I'm terrible at learning songs, takes me ages but I always feel that I should get it note perfect. At the same time I realize it is not necessary most of the time but can't shake a odd unsatisfied feeling if I just wing it. Strange but true.
    'What's going on' is taking me awhile but I'm learning to read as I go too so I'm in no rush.

    I hope you never have the chronic back problems I suffer with (several slipped discs and spinal stenosis, which cause me crippling problems on a daily basis, have on occasion come close to curtailing my playing entirely, and eventually will do exactly that). Or do I? No, come to think of it, let's hope you do......

    Now I remember why I don't tend to bother with Basschat anymore.

    No need at all for that. I for one am pretty glad you don't bother with basschat much

  3. I put these strings on a squier VM jazz 5 string and as soon as i opened the pack they felt more flexible, not as rigid as the previous D'addario EXL170BT strings on the bass. When i strung them up the tension compared to the other strings was noticeably less and felt softer to the touch. They were easier on the fingers and maybe even slightly easier to play. I also noticed there was less string noise too
    Using fingers they seemed to have more clarity and slightly more attack than the EXL170 strings, the notes popped out a bit more. they had a nice thump to them
    For me the big difference was with a pick, a lot more attack and clarity, I really liked the sound of them when using the pick. They had a sharper sound, I thought straight away that it would be easy to get something very like the bass sound on peaches with a bit of overdrive? if that was the sound you liked.
    The definition of the notes in both cases was really good and I actually prefer them to my EXL170's which are very good strings in any case. I would definitely buy a set in the future if they were in my price range.

    Cheers
