Great tapes. Would be using them still on my semi-hollowbody if there was a .100 (I don't want to cut the nut).

Cozy: realtor talk for 'tight'.Haha, I should have remembered from playing the one my friend had, but it was quite a while ago and I'm old.
That's my little corner of our shared studio, where I do my personal practice. Everyone keeps dumping their stuff there. I used to have all that stuff in the front room but that all had to be moved when our housemate moved in. His electronic drum kit is to the right of that area, to the right of his drums is my rehearsal setup with my Mesa head and 2x10 cab, and to the right of all that is my husband's drum kit. It's cozy in there.
Jaw-juh, maybe. But in S. Flawduh*, it's shorts, knee sox, and sandals. Flip-flops are Southern glass slippers.Wait......what?
Y'all mean white seersucker suits, don'tcha?
Why, no self respectin' suthenor from my native Georgia would be caught daid in shorts!
An' whut are flip flops?
That's whut a fish does jest afore ya gut 'em!![]()
The green I saw in pix is sufficiently dark to not look green.I like this finish much more than the green. I'm just not a green guy.You might check how well the A string is seated in the nut.

Yeah, we put the guitar players and singers facing the bass-n-drums wall of doom. Somehow it works, but it's not easy.Cozy: realtor talk for 'tight'.

Hmm. I never had any problems with the 105 on my Ibby. My problem was that even tho the bass is 30.5" scale, it takes medium length strings lest the silks overhang the nut on E and G. Fortunately, the seller took the open "short scale" package back and sent the "mediums".Great tapes. Would be using them still on my semi-hollowbody if there was a .100 (I don't want to cut the nut).
Length can be a problem with those. Gotta measure carefully. See previous post.Great minds.My D'addario tapes showed up in the mailbox just today, only they are super-long...
It's a "thing", worn by certain visiting Northerners. We locals justAre the sox to prevent being bit on the foot by something or just Floridia style?
.Nah, I give those to the resident 'wabbits'.The .105 that came with my tapes rode high in the nut. Noticed that a long time after I should have, and didn't feel I wanted to take the bass to Santa's Workshop. Also at play was the desire to try flats. This from a gal who said "no short scales, no flats".
Holding the line firmly at "no carrots".
That movie scared the bejeez out of me. Sheesh it was scary.The Sentinel (1977)
what is realtor talk for "your house comes with a portal to hell"
Not at home at the moment, I'll hafta look and see if they ride high. I'd like to try LB's-nylon or DTF's-but can't find the medium scale strings.

I hear ya. With the money we've lost over the past three business days we could have bought several nice cars.

I used to watch all those old VP films back in the day. My film collector friend has the "whole set" in 35MM.Most memorable pipe organ presentation EVER
Alembic and Rick Turner headstocks are "grafted on", too. Scarf joints (don't try smoking them).View attachment 3724862
...the headstock is grafted on, which is probably cheaper to produce,,.
Does it say which cathedral?I have a direct to disc recording of Mr. Fox, IIRC recorded at a Cleveland cathedral...
You're well seasoned, right?I'm just not a green guy.![]()
