    The Nordy Club (Part XIV)

    I used to own the shoreline gold one (regret selling it since day 1) ... super killer 5er. Pretty sure the FB was brazilian rosewood. The GC asking price is a bit steep, should be around 2.5K.

    Where are you getting your strings these days?

    Ebay has a bunch of different sellers, including Sweetwater & Musicians Friend/GC. Lots of options.

    I got the Growler.

    Those 90s Growlers 4/5 are pretty solid - I played a few over the years, and they always impress with their overall funky tightness.

    Elixir - My favorite Bass strings

    I also think Elixirs are great, have used them for 10+ years. They sometimes change their sourcing (e.g. string manufacturer and/or specs), but usually the end-product works well, even the B-strings are consistently good.

    Best stainless steel strings?

    My go-to's over the last 10 years: D'Addario ProSteels DR Lo-Riders (hex-core / stiffer) and Hi-Beams (round core - softer) LaBella Rx

    "Fender Fat Finger" massively improves the resonance/timber of my D and G strings

    It can definitely help with wood density/resonance issues -- I've used one on my cheapest/crappiest bass and guitar headstocks over the years, and it does work like a charm. They aren't very expensive, either.

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

    It's #1, unless I know the church has a good amp/di setup (rare). Compressor-->Darkglass pedal (alpha-omega) with IR/cab sim. Once I tried using the IR in the signal chain to FOH a few years ago, I never looked back!

    Sounds great - and nice playing!

    Roscoe Club

    Yeah, big influence when I started playing bass as well. He has such a unique approach to phrasing and technique. He can make the most mundane arrangement and turn it into a groove masterpiece. It's dated, but still a gem ...

    EB Cobalt Flats will vastly improve the B string performance.

    Thanks for sharing the background. Dang, that's heartbreaking to hear ...

    Wondering if any of you all have experience/history with this LG -- [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Price seems a tad high, but it looks very interesting. Perhaps 19mm string spacing?

    The Official MTD USA Thread

    Odds are it was probably refinished by a previous owner (e.g. not by Mike/Daniel) ... makes it a little less authentic-y in the MTD community, but it probably still looks/plays killer.
