Another Pork Another Sunday - Doobie Bros

Sow Come - Ronnie Lane

A Passage to Bangkok - Rush

I had one of those. Played and sounded brilliant. There is bound to be some shrinkage over the decades, resulting in gaps.

Annoyingly talented (a mean cello player into the bargain) and seemingly a lovely person, if her YT videos and IG presence are anything to go by.

So many cool female players, including many newer* players: Mohini Dey, Julia Hofer and the queen of bassface, Este Haim, etc. *compared to Deal, Weymouth, Kaye, etc.

Down in a Hole - Alice In Chains

This Saturday Saturday week

Swingin' - Tom Petty

Neat Neat Neat - The Damned

Updated the scratchplate on my Elwood L. A bandana under the clear p/g.

There is that.

2 quality abstinence fails, right there. Well played 👏👏👏.

I spent about £1k with another big bass vendor and had a £15 delivery charge. It’s all about margins and the size of the package I guess. Still stings a bit, however.

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka - The Gap Band

Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum

Shale We Dance - Yul Bryner

Stone Cold Crazy - Queen

I’ve had tight rhomboids for ages, it’s a chronic condition. Don’t know what started it. I maintain mobility and comfort by rolling on a foam yoga roller and visits to an osteopath. Go see a physio or osteopath.

From what I’ve read, the NS Trad strings are better for arco. In terms of pizz tone, there is a YT video of a comparison and I couldn’t hear any real difference between the 2 (it’s YT and possibly not the best reproduction) and the reviewer echoed that sentiment, although he did say there was some difference. The biggest difference between the 2 seems to be tension. Beyond that, you’re into proper doghouse strings and here I have no experience of different strings, only having played one. The only thing I am aware of is that if you want to use Spirocores on a WAV, you have to have 4/4 size, as they come up short if 3/4 are used (I think I got this snippet from Golihur).
