pretty sure he was mostly using ghs strings too, being he had red silk only headstock end nothing at bridge end and no coloured ball ends at the time where rotosound hadsilk at both ends, and their heavy set is 50-115 which id think would be pretty nice for drop c or c#...

found this interview with the old deftones bass guitarist chi cheng, https://www.deftonesworld.com/bass-guitar-summer-2003-chi-interviewed/ in it says he uses 65-120 gauge strings, which seem really heavy being what tuning would be be using that in, 2003 would be self titled era but those songs are tuned G# which i think he generally used a 5 string fender roscoe beck with a swapped pickguard, so 65-120 for white pony songs in drop C, i wouldve thought a 65 gauge would snap tuned to F being that i had the lower strings of a 5 string set on an old beater bass that i think mightve been a 60 and it snapped when i tried to tune to C# standard. basically just wondering whats the heaviest and highest tunings you can take a string before it just snaps thanks, leo

huh my asda ones cut them fine, i use 55-110s and ive never had a problem

i just use some cutting pliers i got from asda, seem to work fine

if the silks at both ends probably thomastik

tortex .88 or white fender heavy normal 351 shape on both, only the white fender ones though! theyre worse than tortex but i think they look so cool that im willing to suffer

AAAAAHHHH aria, knew it would be something like that. cheers

this is a pic of mani, in the early days of the stone roses (my all time favourite bassist) just wondering what bass hes using here. looks like its had the same paint spatter thing as his rickenbacker and johns hofner.

yep! but only ever on the back

a dimarzio clip should feel basically the same as the button

i quite liked this guys videos, orange sent one for him to try, seems like a decent bass

+1 for t bird picks : D

sad lack of love for the dimarzio cliplock here : (

so apart from using sponges, i have absolutely no clue where id actually get foam for a mute from, what kind of stuff do yous use to get the foam for mutes? thx
