AM1 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't know if it's the done thing to hijack one's own thread, but, you haven't lived until you've seen a tramp in Stoke, sleeping on a bench, with his crutches tied to himself, to prevent anyone stealing them!!! I mean, it's not good when you have to worry about someone nicking yer crutches while you have a quick kip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 [quote name='AM1' post='493126' date='May 20 2009, 11:36 AM']Thanks for the tip. I think as I get older, I sweat (sorry, glow) more! Haha. Now this has changed my reasoning about gig clothes - let me give you an example. On a recent gig, I ended up mega sweaty as usual, flat out punk bass gigs tend to do that plus if you're a natural sweat-machine, well, it's ten fold. Anyway so I got mega sweaty, ended up extremely pissed and woke up on a random sofa, having slept in said sweaty clothes, overall situation normal, that top then went in the washing basket, anyway it came to the next gig and...shameful confession time, I thought f*ck it, I'm not getting a clean top sweaty, so I got the previous rancid one out of the basket, put it back on and played in it again! The plus point of this is you can dodge buying a round all night cos no one wants to get near you to challenge your skinflint ways. HAHAHAHA!!!! I think we should have a poll - how many gigs in a row, have you played in the same, stinky, sweaty, damp old threads. Haha.[/quote] You dodge rounds anyway and when you do buy one, its like trying to get blood out of a stone. You nearly took the pattern of that Jagermeister glass the other night, I thought you were going to try and ring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been anyone that i've been aware of and/or liked on recently. The Rigger is the best venue, but that's in Newcastle really. EDIT: Wait a minute, did a pun just fly over my head?

harvey1-8 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I like Elites, I think quite a few people here use them. I usually change them once every 2-3 months depending on how many gigs I've played and how much practice I've done. I find they have a long life. I don't sweat that much so can't comment on the effects of sweat on string life. In the past I've used lots of different brands and found Elites to be the ones that work best for me. If you're looking for a place to bulk buy strings then Strings Direct is the place I would recommend. I'm sure there's plenty of other places online to buy from though. I met a guy once who told me he boiled his string in oil (Engine oil, not vegetable oil) to clean them and imporve tone! Not sure if there was any truth to this. Apparently it works quite well on old bike chains as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
