i use hi-c (the drink) to make my pee look yella... |

I use the high C string on both of my5 string EUBS (that have 41 1/2 " Scale lengths) primarily to keep from having to spend a lot of time and effort up high in the thumb position while soloing.

WOW! 41.5" scale length! That must sound like a piano. I love 36", but 41.5" that's something! Got any pix? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
