Yes indeed. I don't think they ever stopped (pandemic notwithstanding).

Rotosound Jazz 77 flats are 45/65/85/105/130 for the five string set - I understand you find the Ernie Ball cobalt flats to have greater output, but it sounds like the gauge variation would be a plus point for the Rotos.

I will say, the only time notation would have truly helped me was when I was in a band with a classically trained folk violinist. I think for some genres notation would help more than for others (jazz, for instance). At any rate, it wouldn't hurt to know it, just don't make it your first priority - learning the notes and tuning up must be your first priority once you've decided to actually give bass a go and have (legally) acquired one.

I don't think I signed up to this, but meant to. As it is, I'm still in. The last thing I bought and paid for was in November (HX Stomp XL). I refuse to upgrade anything until I've at least giged some of the cool stuff I have, though I am open to making a level 2 infraction if headphones (for production puproses) are permitted under level 2 rather than level 1.

Just going on the sheer number of big name artists using Schecter, I've got to think it's not a lack of famous players that are a problem for them - though a lot do seem to be hard rock or metal players. I don't think I've seen a Schecter in a physical shop but still, I own two and a good friend of mine owns another herself. Mine are a Riot 4 Aurora Burst and an SLS Evil Twin, both lefthanded. They're both great instruments, particularly the Evil Twin. My friend has a C-5 GT in purple and it looks and feels amazing (for a righthanded instrument). I guess the reason so many manufacturers build Fender-esque instruments is because those general shapes are so baked into the cultural psyche that people expect them and so it's a relatively easy money-maker, especially if you can do it cheaper and with just a touch of modern features to put your own twist on proceedings.

I'd rather have a Stargazer than a Ricky. I loathe the Rickenbacker shape.
