Hey dude, great to see you're getting on with them! I feel sorry for those who get wooly sound tuned down that low, I get nothing but clarity, growl and girth down there with those strings. I tune C, F, Bb, Eb and play with fingers on the bridge p'up of my humbuckered Jazz Si

Hey dude, it's Si from FSOF, nice to see you on here! Si

Yeah let's try and keep this on topic peoples If you don't agree with the ethics....don't audition lol Si

PM'd to no reply!? Hope someone from the forum can help the OP out! Si

Hmmm, gutted that I might miss it! Got a private gig that day, so might need to be at that mid afternoon, and with a gig the night before, probably won't be up too early lol! Will keep eye on the thread though! Si

In defence of the OP, they haven't specified that the person has to be good looking....simply have 'a good look'....fair enough, we're in the entertainment industry people...gotta look the part What's the audition process MLA? Si

Gonna watch this with great interest! Si

Yeah was a really fun day! The Sam Kelly band was fantastic! Nice to meet you Jack and I'll be seeing you next sunday, thanks again for lunch! Si

Cool, I'll watch the F1 Qualifying then leave! Nice Si

I'd probably drive, got a few roads I could park in lol Will give you a text if I go! What time you heading down? Si

I might pop along, it's only 20mins down the road for me!! Where in ealing is it? We can talk about barefaced cabs haha Si

Saw him maybe 4 years ago at Shepherds Bush Empire just after 'Trouble' came out! Was brilliant, although not very talkative lol, he had a different bass player then, playing what looked like an Azola style EUB. Si

Just out of interest, did you remove the neck to see if there was a serial number there? Si

Yeah I guess sending either a Midget or a Big Baby round the opposite way would solve the problem and provide people with some context between the ranges! I'm in the same boat as Crez, pretty full on gigs wise. Good stuff Si

All sounds good to me, and how long will people have it for? Cos if it's a week each, this is like a 7month thing so far....which is fine, but we should probably be quite strict about it Si

I play in drop C standard, so C, F, Bb, Eb with 45-105 strings with a low action (low for that tuning anyway....and I play hard) It's more about the core of the string than the gauge of it, mine are custom wound with a thicker core giving more tension. Higher tension obviously allows you to downtune whilst retaining an action that is playable and not buzzy, I doubt I'd be able to tune standard with them, but then I have other basses for that Newtone, who makes my strings, can cater a set of strings for any tuning you want, any tension/gauge combination. Oh and they're around the same price as a set of Elites/Rotos.....just take 3 weeks to get to you lol Good luck Si
