  1. Realised how much better nickel plated strings sound compared to stainless (on my mustang)

      They might work better on other instruments, but I've only used Elixir nickels for my basses for as long as I can remember. Maybe steels would have suited some of the 30+ basses in that time, but I never tried! I also love that Elixirs last about a year...

      You only get a year out of Elixirs? One of my Teles has Optiwebs that were fitted in 2018 and they’re still fine!

       

      But yeah, Nanowebs on all my basses except the NG2 because they don’t make a set that fits.

      You’re right, they can last longer. I sometimes change them thinking that they MUST be dead and I’m just not noticing it, only to realise they aren’t and I wasn’t! I was also worried they wouldn’t fit my mustang but snipped down they’re fine. Dunno what I’d do without them otherwise. Shame they haven’t come out with extended and shortened sets but I think Gore aren’t as agile as smaller manufacturers so it probably makes it harder to add additional lines to the range. 

  2. Trying to save money. So why did I just buy a Tubescreamer shaped pillow?

      Not sure if #2 son has one already (probably does I would think) but if not that's the next birthday sorted to go with his MAHOOOSIVE collection :D 

  3. Love you too 😛

  4. Isn’t it crazy that nobody during WW2 had ever heard electric slap bass?

      Surely they hadn't heard electric bass full stop?

      They went through enough, to subject them to the infernal clattering of thumb and strings would've been worse than 2 weeks in Auschwitz.

       

  5. My son (2.5yo) clocked my new bass today. “That’s my new bass” I said. “Is the other one broken?” He replies. I’ve taken him out of nursery for a lesson in GAS tomorrow. So innocent!

      Every day there's an ASOS parcel, however she seems to send more back than she buys. I think she's secretly running a depot here. I'll call HMRC tomorrow

      though I have ascertained that burgundy mist is acceptable

    Cheers (don’t worry, everything’s fine, just having a break!)

      Bought a new bass = taking time out from managing that unruly rabble

      though if you hadn't you would have probably convinced me to get your old AtelierZ - it's lovely. Do I need two jazz basses?

      I like it! Although for a moment I did think I'd accidentally logged into the Les Paul forum...

      The new thumbnail views are super cool too

  9. Sims Bass busted for spamming our forum. Poor form from one UK bass business to another.

      well you busted them... and then everyone seemed to carry on talking about big bottomed basses....

      I don't understand how they could have possibly imagined such an underhand and sneaky approach could have been acceptable.  hey ho.
