GHS Precision flats address the quality/consistency issues* I have had with literally every set of LaBella flats I've used (760FX/FL, LTF, Olinto). Unlike other traditional flats, especially LaBella, GHS has a midrange clarity and well-defined pitch that persists even when they are well-worn or...

I expected to not like Donny when I heard of him, but I really dig him, only issue is sometimes the creak of his leather pants is as loud as the bass in his YouTube vids! Yes it's a persona, and I think it's a great one in terms of accepting ourselves as we are and just getting on with it!

A couple things - you may have a nickel allergy but from my experience that would manifest as itching/pain, swelling, hives, etc. Worth consulting a doctor to find out more. Also possible - excess finishing compound from the factory. Before installing any new strings I give them all a few...

I don't see this as a negative, it was a significant influence (along with dub/reggae) on the development of remix culture and using the studio as an instrument.

How about this...Jaco Pastorius is maybe my #5 out of bassists who played with Joe Zawinul. :cool: Even when grooving he sounded like he was playing lead bass. 1) Linley Marthe 2) Victor Bailey 3) Alphonso Johnson 4) Miroslav Vitous 5) Jaco 6) Richard Bona - great player, fantastic vocalist and...

Fantastic, co-ink-a-dentally I was reading this interview with Esperanza on transit to work this morning! Esperanza Spalding: Grounded & Inspiring - JazzTimes When I first saw the drummer in the video I thought it was Michael League, bassist/leader of Snarky Puppy, and my first reaction was "is...

Literally one of very very few celebrities I've only heard good things about, R.I.P. Dolly!! I remember listening to the whole "Jolene" album a few years ago and being blown away by the songs, the urgency (this was her chance to really define herself as a solo artist, and boy did she), and her...

That's very cool, thanks for sharing. Floyd Pepper was one of the reasons I got interested in bass, sounds like Colin Cameron may have played some of those lines. Also I love Phantom of the Paradise, and all those other Paul Williams projects. In a similar vein - "bass blasts from my childhood"...

That is correct, I just sold my 2nd ‘80s 200MB last Friday to a local TB’er who loves these. The one I got new in ‘90 did this too. Odd design decision, but not indicative of damage.

Dang, that purple 335 is something else, lovely!!

Growing up in the '80s I always thought these looked so cool! And the pickup covers kinda remind me of Thin Mints.

I had a '90s ash/rosewood 3 band with super-weak G string, I never could get a tone I liked out of it. I loved the passive and 2 band US-made SUB series that was out in the '00s, I thought both versions sounded so much better than mine. Aside from that I loved the pre-EB and EBMM Sabres I...

True dat, I saw Maron with Groove Collective about 25 years ago, a black and a white BB3000 one with rounds and flats. Fantastic sound but more importantly one of the most dance-inducing bass performances I’ve ever witnessed.

Pix or it didn’t happen!

OP- Do you mean in terms of having the most screechy, least musical sounding crossover/tweeter ever, or some other criteria?
