    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    This is so true. My ears now make me almost useless as a bass player. I was never able to read music so I played by ear and made cord changes by feel. Tinnitus is something I would not wish on my most hated enemy! Tom

    What inspired you to play bass?!

    My short fingers made playing some cords on a 6 string impossible. A bass was the answer for me. Tom

    Flatwounds & Gibson Midtown

    I just purchased a new Gibson Midtown. While the bass sounds great, I don't like the feel of roundwound strings. Has anyone replaced the strings on a Midtown with flatwound strings? If so, how did it affect the sound of the bass? Tom

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    After 46 years, I decided I wanted to play Bass again. For my 65th birthday I bought myself this Gibson Midtown. I'm using it through a Marshall MB150. Tom
