xilddx Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Another problem I've found is that putting lemon oil on my fingerboard made it disappear, but I discovered that putting it next to a candle made it visible again. That problem coupled with using the TIIs made me a bit too nervous to go on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm sure in my five second dalliance with a jazz bass (I still feel dirty) that it came with the E flatwound and the other three roundwound. As they sounded dead as a dodo I replaced them straight way. Can you get those invisible strings with silk wraps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
