What you won't do for free, some other band will. Who here in an originals band can live off their gig money rather than job money?

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1430301282' post='2759935'] Rock n Roll sounded a bit weird (at the end). All a bit too low, so I picked up my guitar and they had detuned a whole step and a half [/quote] You think Plant can still sing that high?!

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1430243908' post='2759465'] Interesting. I loved the Dunlop SBs but I think I would prefer a little extra tension so I can dig in on the lower strings. The Foderas will no doubt be pricey, similar to DRs? I didn't even know Fodera made strings. [/quote] Hi Beams or Fat Beams sound up your street. Sunbeams I think won't have enough brightness for what you're looking for.

Flats have the same tension has rounds - they're stiffer due to their construction but people confuse this with higher tension. Boomers 45-105, Lo-Riders 45-105 (nickel or steel) or possibly ProSteels 45-105 will be plenty fine for down tuning.

If you like Slinkys, try D'Addario nickels.

No More Heroes - Stranglers. That bass tone!

Like half the basses on this site then!

That's what I don't understand. So much money going down the toilet.

Sit on it.

Why would you pay to stream music? Something you don't even own yet it's coming out your pocket. Even if it is the future...

Self imposed exile? Please feel sorry for me? Leaving thread to let you know? Lurk in the shadows without posting? Posting as normal 2 weeks later? Probably because you want something in the FS section? I disagreed with your statement. I didn't have to, but I did.

Billy Corgan? Axl Rose? Both bands I like though...

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430030875' post='2757168'] Don't take this the wrong way, and it's just an opinion but attaching sentimental value to 'stuff' gets you on the road to obsession. It's a guitar and there are many others just like it. [/quote] Dumbest. Paragraph. Ever.

Really enjoyed your playing and thought you had a great tone. Fancy discussing this more after you get a round in?

D'oh! Replace EXL with EXP...

Fender's hold their value better. Lots of other companies are nailing the 'Fender' sound for less so...

Perry Farrell? Though I like his voice anyway.

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1429887648' post='2756048'] Used them on my old MM Sterling and they were pretty good. Very bright bass so the strings came across lively! I've got a set of DRs (neon K3 coated) waiting to go on my bass when the current steels die, will be interesting to see how they sound. [/quote] I like DR Black Beauties/Dragon Skins but that coating... finger burn. Makes the string unusable for me. D'Addario EXLs are very similar to Elixirs but the coating is a bit thinner so you can feel more of the string. EMPs and Cleartone strings I would say are even a little thinner for less of that plasticy effect but EXLs IME retain their brightness a bit longer than those two.

Any?!

Have you bought a Sandberg yet?

I think people are getting confused between being bright and retaining the brightness. Super Brights are bright at first but 2-3 weeks later are dulled down. EXLs are a good shout too, last as long as Elixirs.
