reminds me of mold ...

i was thinking only the other day about how they must by now be desperately brain storming fresh video ideas ...i mean surely there is only so much to be said about bass but here they are still knocking them out.

i try not to cut the strings too much ...got caught out a few times when transferring from say a stingray to a jazz ..i just make sure that the capstan is always top to bottom even when there is a string tree ..force of habit.

yellow brick road is superb bass playing throughout and such a great tone ...

but you don't exist?

thanks ...i never intended to have so many but my problem is i can't sell any .. i see positives in all of them ...probably getting a little out of hand to be honest ...a precision was my only bass for many years but i sold it ...i wonder if i can sneak another one in..?

ok i briefly have the whole lot out of storage together so i took a quick pic! ...so rare to have them all in one room these days on account of the wife..

maybe if i just cut so there is a small amount of silk just to hold it together ..?

ah ...ai seems to think this is a bad idea

ah ...problem is back on ...for some reason i blanked out the xl sticker and purely focused on the insert wording ...so yes i still have a problem...so can you cut down tape wounds without them unwinding?

ok ...package arrived ...all the strings are surprisingly now standard long scale not xl ...go figure ..not sure what's going on over there but i'm happy now ..i would delete this thread if i could ...maybe admin can do it for me....cheers.

i recently bought a couple of labella tape wounds strings 760n online who gave me xl length instead as they didn't have any regular scale lengths in stock. When i asked them if this was ok they just said i have to be "very careful" ?? Before i break open the string set and cut them can anyone tell me if it's possible to do this without the silken end part being totally removed thus allowing the tape covering to unravel ...this all sounds potentially a tad janky to me.

ai tech isnt quite there yet ..

do you ever get the feeling that the best bass you have ever played is whichever one is in your hands at any given moment?
