    IMO, they'd be waaaaayyyy too tight and could be a real issue for the neck of your bass. *snap*

    I didn't intentionally buy a 5 string set for that purpose but when I got tired of using my Studio V, it's heavy, I strung my Classic Pro BEAD with another set I had in the drawer. Now I just use the Classic Pro and the Studio V is a wall decoration.

    Love Type-O Negative and really got what Peter Steele brought to metal in the 90's. Too bad he didn't take his health issues seriously enough. I guess there's lots of guys that fall into this category regardless of ethnicity but having been around Poles for more than a quarter century since...

    I just want to report that I got 8 years out of GHS Black Nylon Tapewounds. Still sounded good and thumpy till the E string unwound at the ball end. Following along with the edict to not fix what ain't broken, I stayed with these strings on my 2014 Gibson Thunderbird IV because they feel...

    This bass shows up from time to time here and on Facebook. I'm surprised to see it on CL but I really like it and it's a one of a kind. I don't think the price is realistic though.
