Damn.. stories like this make me feel very lucky that I fell into a very organised and well-functioning band with good friends! You just need to keep hunting I guess, if they're this shambolic when searching for a musician it probably wouldn't be a good band to play in anyway.

What gauge are your labellas, trevor? Thanks for the write up, much appreciated! i recently tried the FS labellas and the ension was too much. Got some FLs in the post now, hoping they'll be better. Like you I really enjoyed the feel and sound.

Swans, closely followed by My Bloody Valentine. The swans gig had me stuffing toilet paper in my ears. Bought a set of earplugs (earasers) not long after that.

Just for the gig, based in Scotland, was part of a tour that also included Annecy, Paris, Dijon and Besançon.. Was very fun playing in your country, you get much better treatment from venues etc than in the UK!

I was at this gig!! Played before them. They were indeed incredible!

Cheers Chris! Thomann doesn't stock the GHS in a light gauge so I'm probably going to go either labella FL or D'addario Chromes in Super Light (40-95, might be too light!)

Hey hey, this is a nearly-new set of Labellas in standard gauge (45-105). Bought new last week, played on my jazz bass for a couple of days, then taken off. They're my first set of flats and I didn't anticipate the increase in tension, so I'm looking for a lighter set. Could trade or will sell via paypal, free UK shipping. Make me an offer if the price isn't right - not sure what the going resale value for strings is. Cheers!
