Thanks in advance =)

I have a Rebop5. Any set with a tapered B will work. As for a conventional B string, the only set I found that fit were Rotosounds (swing bass).

I think Rotosounds are kind of tapered too. For your Rebop do you need the extra long Roto's for the 35" scale?

Deep Kick is a band that features a you tube star - DavidSinRocks - he loves Flea. He has a ton of videos and basses!

Speaking of you tube bassists, if you are familiar with some of them...this made me giggle.

Yesterday was NBD for me. I worked out a trade for the Black Kramer NS-2 JJ
I waited for the announcement to make sure the other party safely received and was happy with the Kramer which they received today.

This is NS-2 #452 made 2/19/08 in mint "like new" condition

Redwood Top/Walnut back Ebony board, Abalone inlays.
2 JJ Pickups. 9V USA Preamp

Will post some sound clips a bit later.

Yet not a single Spector... Haha.

His vids got me into a lot of great music (maximum the hormone, incubus, and some others) and his playing is impeccable, but (and I've mentioned this before in another thread) he seems like some one who never got past the super flea fanboy phase (mine lasted my through 8th grade and into freshman year, before I got turned onto a lot of other players).
