  1. Hi Guys
    Let me say that I have an interest in Elixir Strings as I work as the Consultant for bass for them ....however with that aside I'm a bass player and have been since the age of 12 ..

    Last year I spent a year at the icmp in Kilburn and I was playing alongside other bass players and students for probably 6hrs most days excluding a Sunday and in that time I changed my Nickel plated nanowebs 3 times in 12 months !!! They were the ones that "feathered" at the playing position over the pickups
    Since I started working with Elixir in January I have tried both the new improved Nickel on my Stingray 5 and the new Stainless steel strings on my Jazz bass and I haven't changed them at yet !! The Stainless steel are kind to my hands and are brighter,, played with a pick they sound awesome !!
    The Nickel plated strings on my Stingray are not as slippery as before and have a "smoother" tone. and they haven't feathered at all.

    Its quite strange , while I have tried many other brands , for me personally I can't go back to conventional stuff, however all I can say is try them for yourself and make your own mind up ....i'm in too deep !!!

  2. I would love to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with organising this great event .. it was fantastic

    I have never seen so many lefty players and lefty basses in the same room at the same time !!!! The vibe was brilliant and I felt that by the time I left to go back to the paradise isle that I had known everyone for years.

    I can't remember everyones names so I would be grateful if you could post a list of everyone who attended ?

    Keep flying the flag for the lefties !!!

    once again thank you

  3. Hi Guys

    Embarrassed for not introducing myself earlier !!!

    I'm Andy , been providing a low tone groove since the age of about 15 ish which takes me back a bit !

    I love this site and as a special breed ( lefty ) was fortunate enough to find new weapons of choice here :D

    I live on the paradise Isle of Mersea however my musical work takes me wherever the need be ..
    I took a sabatical from 2003 - 2010 but am now fully immersed back into what I love doing best .

    I am a lifelong apprentice of the low tone groove 'official' and look forward to the opportunity of meeting many more of my low tone brethren on my travels

    have a great day all

    Andy
