I love her music. If you are new to Meshell, take some time and listen to Plantation Lullabies (debut album) and Peace Beyond Passion...

Over years I have found the FL set to be the most consistent of the DTF’s in terms of quality and tone. Their tension is about in line...

The only ones as high tension as I've played vs. the RS77LE set are the LaBella Original 1954 set (i..e the Jamerson 52-110 set).

I like the SM77 (40-100) set of Roto flats. They’re firm but not uncomfortable. Sound and feel nice. I wouldn’t enjoy playing the 45-105...

I've played quite a few flats, but far from all. Dunlops not among them unfortunately. I'm still breaking in my first set of Roto 77s...

This jives with my memory. I just didn't want to come off as being overly dramatic since it was admittedly 20-25 years ago for me, now...
