so i work in the north and got stuck in a blizzard for 8 hours yesterday. total whiteout.
8 hours sitting in a truck. blah!
it did give me a chance to listen to most of the neurosis and kyuss dicos though.

when i say north I mean Hudson Straight/Baffin island north. pretty sure its still sensible weather in NB
I see your from Dartmouth.
I lived there for 2 years 2005/6ish on primrose street
living there was ... interesting...
Since you guys are a bunch of sissies, I'm going to do some string testing on my P-Bass. Since I've had it, it's seen two sets of strings. LaBella 760FL and GHS Pressurewounds.
The LaBellas are beautiful strings, but I needed strings that are a little brighter since I'm using this bass for System ****. The Pressurewounds hit the right spot for me. They sound good for everything I play, not just the band. Hell, they even work for when I play some old Motown/reggae.
I've got a handful of strings here (some new, some used), so I figure why not try 'em all out. If I don't like 'em, I can probably trade them to someone for something else.
So here's what I'm dealing with:
R. Cocco Nickels (used on a different bass and they sounded ****ing awesome)
D'Addario Chromes (new)
DR Sunbeams (new)
GHS Boomers (new)
Gonna give the R. Cocco's a whirl on the P-bass now (if they fit) and see how it goes. I'll report back.
Sissies.
Sorry to hear that, man. The last few years has gotten worse. When I was working overnight shifts in Emergency, most of the crazy **** came from there. Shotgun blasts and everything.
