Best shoes for bass?

Merrill slip on shoes

Mustard yellow suede shoes (yes I really have them)

Chucks. Always.

Would it be possible to replace the shoestrings with either a .045 stainless steel G string or a .130 B string? Would the B string add to or counter the inherent low frequencies of the shoes such that "stacking" would be possible? Maybe a G string on the left shoe and a B or E string on the right shoe would balance the pair. When cleaning should you remove the strings before soaking in alcohol or does the shoe itself require cleaning also?

NO!!! Don't replace the shoestrings! It would be bad. What do I mean "bad"??? Imagine every molecule in your body stopping instantaneously and all of the matter the universe suddenly exploding at the speed of light. Okay? That would be bad. Important safety tip!

Thanks for the tip. I would not want to be responsible for upsetting the "cosmic cycle". What was I thinking?

Cowboy boots, usually in exotic skins for extra attention-whoring points.

I wear these sometimes. But they are super uncomfortable after a while. The sacrifices I make to fashion.

Need some neon laces for the orange ones.

Whatever matches my belt and handbag.

Either a pair of K-Swiss sneakers or my trusty old Dr. Martins.

My cheapo $20.00 "Starters " from Wally World (more money for bass gear).

 

[Stilettoprefer]

Socks! Unless the stage is slick, has horn player spit on it, or is sliverous. Then i wear my old very torn up biking shoes from when i used to bmx. Those things are soooo comfy
