Squier PJ Affinity in Brown Burst. I know it's "just a Squier" but I think that they did a nice job on this one.

This is my ’62 Fender Bass VI bought from roommate for $250 while in college (theory/comp major) in ’75… a nosebleed to learn on from scratch and still my main bass after several decades of epic sessions and great memories. The ‘antique’ is my forearm wearing through the sunburst layers over 45 years. Original pickups, a drop-in Dan Armstrong hotwire for series/parallel turns it into a big fat 3-bucker, a drop-in Staytrem bridge, had the neck re-planed once and a couple of re-frets.

And here it is in the wild in Solvang, CA last weekend:

Silks? Is that what black roundwounds are known as?

I meant the fibers wrapped around the stings at both ends. I've got boxes and boxes full of different strings out in the garage, but I've never seen a set like yours. They're pretty sweet!

Ahhh...ok!. Sorry.

In fact, I remember this term from my youth. Why were they called 'silks' when they don't seem be such?

 

[bonin in the boneyard]

Ahhh...ok!. Sorry.

Don't be!
