I bring two the second one is only for backup.

Here are my funk machines a USA 1977 Jazz with round wound strings and a five string USA made in Corona California passive precision bass with DR Flatwounds.

I had no idea people resale strings, it had never ever cross my mind. Wow!!

These my 77 jazz or my five string p-bass

Thank you for saying that, people get on my f**king nerves making that statement.We all know Jaco, played a freaking four string.Victor Wooten plays one as well etc etc. Blah Blah Blah I need coffee.

Be the best you can be and ignore the insecure musicians and their mundane comments. It’s all about the music.

I started playing a 5 string bass in 1988 it was a Yamaha Trb with gold hardware and piezoelectric electronics in the bridge, I actually did a show that night, talking about a challenge:nailbiting: I made a lot of mistakes, but I got through the gig. I switch between a 5 and a 7 string, I have...

After a gig a fan came up to me and asked for an autograph and proceeded to pull up her skirt and asked me to autograph her buttocks with my name....,,what’s a guy to do???? Hell, I signed my name on her butt!!:)

I have fourteen basses including four Ken Smith seven strings, a custom made Kevin Brubaker ten string, two uprights and many Fender p and j basses. Haven’t gig since last year and I’m quite happy playing around with my beautiful and very $$$$ collection. Enjoy your passion.

It’s not that bad it took me awhile though

It gets the job done.

For me it going to be a Wyn singlecut 7-string with all the bells and whistles.
