- 5-string full hammersmith review strings
Yeah it is raining so rather than going out to my shop to get a tape I used my kids' ruler from their craft box.
Keep the switches chrome, they match your strings (sort of). BTW, who strung that thing?
Me. Been doing it like that for decades. It's a habit now. A guy who used to tech for a couple of jazz tours in the 80s taught me that technique. One wrap over the slack and the rest under. At least three wraps. I get picked on about it all the time but it has never let me down. Strings literally last me a few weeks. So I have done it that way a couple hundred times by now. More than one way to skin a cat I spoze.

We'll know something is amiss, if 'serious' enters the arena...
OK, that's it! The silliness shall cease at once! Or I shall unleash the darkness that is my new bass to inhale your very souls and.....*COUGH*

Thinking that this is a good time for me to go and take a shower
Congrats two fingers, I remember when Marko was starting an acquiring data from TBers like myself an a whole list of others. It seems that the Intel was truly taken in and what he's producing is a very specific instruments in regard to us bottom feeders. In time I know he'll get the production aspects all worked out. I can't even begin to imagine just how swapped he has to be right.

TIL that Marko is a victim of the invasion of the body snatchers.
Beautiful bass! I have a four string PJ on order and it should be coming... Actually, I have no idea when it will be coming. But hoping it's sometime soon!
Very nice. Glad it's working out for you.
As for the switches. Swap em if you want, but they don't look "off" to me.

The greatest actor in history. Well, he wasn't the greatest actor in history, but he was darn good. Well, when I say he was darn good, I mean...
What were we talking about again?
When it finally got here I was like....
