Clarky Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I have been playing [i]Velvet Blues[/i] on my 3/4 bass for the last several weeks and really enjoy them. Got lots of compliments on the tone at the Bluegrass weekend. Only trouble is they are touch too bright and sustain a little longer than I would ideally wish for. I foolishly sold (yes, I know ...) a set of [b]Velvet Animas[/b] some months back and now realise their darker, thumpier tone suits my German flatback bass really well. So does anyone have any good condition used Animas for sale? Edited November 6, 2013 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Last call before I (gulp) consider paying up for a new set (they are so pricey that I may just stick with the Blues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Do you think that one of the Innovation family might give you that tone? I just looked up the Velvet price....geeez they've gone up. Edited November 5, 2013 by TPJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Tom, I've played Silver Slaps and they're (if anything) slightly too low in tension for my bass and I am not overly keen on the thuddy E. Most likely I will just stick with the Blues and bide my time until someone on BC or TB puts a set up for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
