Great stuff!....

My 1st 'proper' bass, an Aria P that was just built so well, lovely neck... I'd put D'Marzio pups on it & it growled in a very pleasing way... & also, an Ibanez Roadster II from about 1985.... it just felt cool... sold it complete with quality flight case for £100, to pay a lecy bill!... Both basses were pretty cheap, but they felt & sounded right at the time I had them....

Had mine for many years now, still going strong....not actually showing much sign of wear at all.... & I've been throwing them around continually! Very impressed

Etta James version of 'You can leave your hat on' for a gig with full brass section this weekend... Much groovier than the Tom Jones one!...

That RHCP/Iggy guy is class!.... Always Liked Zander Zon... great feel... And Lydia.... These guys are getting pretty well know now though, I reckon... There's a lot of talent out there in Tinternet world.....[i] (lotta sh*te too mind!)[/i]

I am also a lefty playing right handed..... geez, it is common isn't it? I had no idea so many were. 1st time I picked up a guitar I went to hold it lefty but started to learn righty... lefty instruments being rarer & more expensive...

Sold some used DR strings To Geoff... Very easy to deal with, immediate payment sent in faith! Top guy, highly recommended.

My bass felt too difference last night, and although it was a pretty crappy stage and very bright room i felt the DR's are just not for me. I think ill sell them and buy some more XL's.[/quote] [quote name='bassmanady' post='1244752' date='May 25 2011, 08:39 PM']Same for me too! ..i fitted an orange set a couple of weeks ago,to my 5 string jazz and found i did not like the sound or feel of them at all..i have done 2 gigs and 3 rehearsals to give them a chance,but they are coming off and being replaced with my usual elixir nanoweb. i also found them a bit overpowering to look at when playing under lights with this big 5 string band of orange glaring at you.found myself making even more mistakes than normal still its good to try other strings.[/quote] I recently fitted a set of DR's & found the same... Didn't like the feel, didn't like the sound...[i]all gnarly & no warmth[/i]... they're coming off after 1 gig!.. back to D'addario EXL 170-5's for me.... I don't think I've ever not liked a set of strings so much before!... That surprised me...

very nice!
