    D'Addario...Flex Steels?

    I have tried the Flex steels on my J and my Tobias. i usually shy away from steels. I love the harmonic content but found them to be "clanky". The Flex Steels have a bright funky sound without being harsh. I haven't changed back to my balanced tension so I must be happy. Oh, I play old school...

    Why do people not like Ken Smith basses.

    Smith basses are as good as they get. But Ken Smith has poor people skills so he gets a bad rap. But his basses rule!

    Please help me decide on first bass - narrowed down to 2 Precisions

    Whatever you get, have it set up by a good luthier. Figure $100, maybe less.
