    While my other half watched Love Island, I rocked out to some Audioslave for an hour. 

     

    I think we all know who had a better evening! 😂

      In a previous rock covers band we did 'Cochise' and it was a highlight of the set. Spine-chilling line to play, IF the rest of the band are up to it which in this case they were. I miss that band, but not the bum-shattering volume we played at. ;)

      What a great description! I've played loud, but never to the point of shattering my bum. Not that I was aware of, anyway. I was also in a band some years ago that had Cochise in their set. Girl singer, and she could do it, too.

    In case you were wondering......Joe Dart is definitely still the funkiest bass player on the planet right now.

      Hmmmm...No doubting that Joe is very good but have you heard Richard Searle???

    Think my Half Wound experiment is over, making my G&L sound a bit lifeless. Where to next.....Chromes? La Bella Golds? Or Newtone :scratch_one-s_head:

      Hmmm I might try a set of flats and see what I feel, especially something like the Golds/Chromes that are supposed to be quite bright.

      But it will probably end up with rounds on it again :biggrin:

      I don't mind rounds, but higher strings/notes always sound a little feeble to me now compared to flats.
      But it really depends what bass and music you're playing I guess :)

      Si

      Maybe try Rotosound 77s - I'm really enjoying them after a long time on rounds only.

    Slightly unexpected NBD tomorrow. One way to break the January blues xD

      'you cannot escape the GAS'

      Very true, especially if it's of your own making.

      How Can you have an "unexpected" NBD?
      Did you accidentally fall into a guitar shop, grabbing a bass to break your fall.... whilst your contactless credit card flew right past the credit card reader? ;)
      Have a great NBD :)

      Everyone knows it's not official until you post some pictures of it! They'll come take it away!

    Had the Ken Smith Slicks on my L2000 for a few months now and they just aren't doing it for me....Do I go full flats or go back to my comfort zone of rounds?

      I used the Slicks and loved them for that Stone Roses kinda vibe (1st album)  Im now on Elites Grounds and they are really doing it for me.  The growl of rounds without the tinny twangy top end but more going on than full on flats

      Might try them next but I've been reading good things about GHS Balanced Nickels today....

      Ive not used rounds in years but the more I read about Boomers the more I think I might give them a go on a back up bass one day.  Good luck in your quest
