That sounds like a great place! My "last of the mom & pop" stores closed two years ago because of exorbitant rent.

Van der Graaf Generator - Vital. It's a live album. To call the bass sound huge would be an understatement.

Get a Little - Zappa

Wild and pretty cool. Thanks for the lyrics.

Wild!

We were going through an identity crisis, writing new material and throwing out, and playing the same venue every weekend we started changing the name of the band every week. By Week 4 we were The Normal Spoons I took it upon myself to rename everyone also. Guitarist James - Sam Fingerhead Keyboardist Robert - Guadalupe Machino Drummer Tom - Fidolfo Cruz Bassist Marty - Eli Tokyo It was a local crowd, everyone was in on the joke.

Don't Eat The Yellow Snow - F.Z. -

Living In America - James Brown -

I have an idea, but what exactly is a bell end?

My Jazz was probably strung with flats, hence me trying black nylon tapewound (they looked cool, but burnt my fingers when I slid on them).

I haven't jumped in on a few posts inter-related but I will now because this perfectly answers your question. My first bass was a '72 Jazz Bass. I don't know what strings were on it, but at some point due to advertisments in Bass Player Magazine I tried flats, black tapewounds, picks... A shift in influences led me to Rotosound Roundwounds, the Holy Grail and in the US half the price of my Jazz, so... Ernie Balls to the rescue, then D'addario, then roundwounds on my fretless P bass also. So you have to shave the neck once in a while. Roundwounds.

Irrational?
