I am also big fan of chromes, but for a extreme fatness and funk, I think LB might be the ones! don't wanna start anything, I know you're D addario artist,just sharing thoughts... cheers!!!

La Bella's are really, really great. I think I just like the feel of Chromes in my hand. And now, the set that's on there is about ten years old, so I am loathe to make any changes!

Best,
Justin

Man! I had a set of Chromes on a Stingray for a while that just got so dead and sounded so wonderful. I swore I'd never change them. But after so much abuse, the low E string and A string simply refused to stay in tune up the neck, and no measure of intonation adjustments could help it. Enjoy them as long as you can!

Talking of your P basses. I remember reading somewhere that you own a Fender Pino P Signature in White? Is that true?

I do, yes. Good bass. Sometimes not vibrant enough, but a strong bass that I've recorded endlessly. I just really prefer (for a roundwound P sound), my '75 Rootbeer.

Best,
JMJ

Plus, it is just the COOLEST Fender finish. Could there be anything more 70s than a brown bass? Makes me long for the orange shag carpeting in my grandparents' old house!!
