    What kind of strings do you use?

    They were new replacements. I was referring to the old strings I replaced. I live in the US. Oz has priced itself beyond the working man.

    Short scale rounds with the most mids

    GHS Balanced Nickels. You described them perfectly. I changed from strings I had been loyal to for over 20 years. I put a bunch of these on several short scale and long scale basses and they sound wonderful and are easy to play.

    What's the first bass line you learned?

    Probably "Badge" by Cream or "Proud Mary" by CCR......

    Which would you upgrade first? An amp or a bass?

    A bad amp sucks the life out of a good bass.......but I'd audition cabs before I changed a head, if I thought I liked it.

    Discontinued Amps

    I mostly use Marshall amps and cabs. All discontinued. Lovely sound, clearly defined notes with warmth and note thickness. It's what I paid for.

    Real amps are better than going straight to house

    I could never do that. The speaker cab is where the tone invites itself into the room. All the money, aspirations, grief and desire, is between the fingers and the speakers.

    What pickups for rock bass.

    I'd take a look at Thunderbird pick ups. Lots of tones and clear notes to hear from them. Even seen a few in P basses starting with Pino.

    No one will ever accuse her of being subtle.

    i would never be interested in bass guitar as an instrumemt if that is what it takes.......

    All Things Must Beat. Share Anything Beatles!!

    I read that Andrew Watt found a bass with inbuilt fuzz, which is obviously quite rare and gave the bass to Paul during that original session for the last album when this album track was recorded. It was a carry over song from the previous record not a new recording done recently.

    "Hey, can I take a picture of your settings?"

    Yep. Have also been asked if they can take pics and video of the rig. Good sound attracts other bass players.
