LaBellas and Peter Washington

[Kevin Hsieh]

What kind does he use? The afterlength is red with a black spiral. Saw him last night with Kenny Burrell. Great tone, but a little muddy when in the mix.

[Adrian Cho]

I thought he used Animas?

I haven't kept up, but there was an article in Bass Player magazine a few years ago where he said he had switched to "D'Addarios." Of course the photo accompanying the article showed that his bass had Velvets on it.

[Kevin Hsieh]

Just talked to him last night. They're labella's now

[Francois Blais]

Is he using the black-nylon ones, like Ron Carter?

[Kevin Hsieh]

we only said a few words to each other but they had a red afterlength with a section of black spiral in the middle.

[Francois Blais]

Thanks, but were they wound with metal on the outside (so the 7720 set) or black-nylon (so the 7710 set) ?
It should have been obvious if it was black, so it was probably the metal set.

[Kevin Hsieh]

i would agree that it probably was the metal set. I mistook them for spirocores until I took a second look at the afterlength.

[Robert Sabin]

I thought the metals were red and green?

I've always liked Peter Washington's playing. I'm saddened to know that he suffers from the same affliction that I claim to have recovered from (string infidelity).
