I've heard D'addario's should fit no problem, but the same doesn't go for Labella's and GHS's.

Firstly, I'd like to commend you all for being 17 and not playing punk or anything ending in core. As for the criticism, like most above me I wasn't crazy about the vocals, but they weren't bad. just like skychief I thought the 5:25 to 6:06 mark could use some work, a little too busy. Keep...

I like the idea of the Thomastik Acousticores, but I'm not crazy about bronze, and have lusted after their flats, but being as big a noob as I am, I haven't been able to bring myself to justify their price tag. I almost went for tapes on my Jazz but decided on flats. I'm leaning toward the...

I'm still torn on this decision, which is terrible because I'm really hating these nasty old bronze strings. I've been playing the Washburn almost exclusively since I got it, and I really like the idea of tapes. Though every time I pick up my VM Jazz I'm reminded of how much I love Chromes. I...

I've been playing just a year and I've got three, which I know seems a bit overboard. Though my go to bass is my VM Jazz. I picked up a $40 Jay Turser Scarabe off CL to learn repair, maintenance, and modding on so I wouldn't mess up my VM. The third and newest is my Washburn AB10, I picked her...

On tapewounds I was torn between the Rotos and the D'Addarios. Like I said, I love my Chromes, so I'm naturally inclined to lean towards D'Addarios. I've read a lot of good about the Tru Bass, but the tension is a tad bit more than the D'Addarios. Not sure why I put nickel earlier, when the...

Just picked up my first acoustic bass this week, it's a Washburn AB10, and I love everything about it except the old rotting nickel strings on it. I'm not sure what I should string this baby up with now. I've got Chromes on my VM Jazz, and I love them, but I've read that Washburns don't take too...

Forgot to mention this one comes with a hard shell case, so based on the auctions I'm getting about the standard deal. I'll have to think on this one and hope it doesn't sell by the time I make up my mind.

Popped into a pawn shop today, and the bass pickins were slim. Though they had a nice looking AB10 on the wall. I played around with it for a while, neck was nice, fret work was good, only issues I could see were some cosmetic stuff (mostly buckle rash). I don't have any experience in the...

Because, Soft Machine and Egg didn't need them. Here's Soft Machine with 4 horn players 9even though they were fine with just bass, keys, and drums):

Eyeless in Gaza anyone? Here's Still Air by them.

either Hugh Hopper of Soft Machine or John Greaves of Henry Cow

I have a slanted ceiling and I keep forgetting that I rearranged my jam room with my bass cab in the low part of the room. a few dings later and there is no real damage to speak of.

dude, I haven't heard The Ergs since I saw them a number of years back, thanks for the memories.
