String update on the NR. I used Fender Flats Wed, Labella DTFs today. I like the Labellas. Best strings so far: Labella or Roto 66 for first place, next would be Roto 66 Nickels, then String Joys. These all sound plenty good enough to stay on it. But I have a few more sets to try. I can't help but think some Pyramid Gold Flats would sound great. (They have two basses I put them on so far.) I don't have a set laying around and don't want to drop over $50 on a trial.

My "Classic White" '89 has aged to almost this color..........Distressing when I first got it, love it now.
I have a 26 year old "Antique White" Jazz and it's yellow, I don't know if it came that way or not, I suspect it did because it's very even, I've only owned it for about 5 years, I liked the color. I just googled it and it looks like that's the way the color came.
Maybe we need a sub-club! We already have an official shirt.
I think if it got off of the tube head ride, I'd like something like this. Might even be some dude around here that likes these. 
I had their cheap version from a trade for a while and was impressed with how it sounded.

Dig!!!
Playing any instrument is like this.
And as not to cause any more damage.....
It's only Sunday night.

That's a NICE bass, old white Rickenbackers yellow like that too, I had one, something about the clear coat on top of the paint.
Like any foreign language all this too can be translated for the layperson…
There’s no fan on a couple of my bass amps, they are a bit shifty and when I give them feedback it doesn’t phase them. I’ve tried watering them but like most electric devices these Fricken Electrical Turds (FET’s) just don’t care for it. On an apparently unrelated note - most couples in Washington DC are bipolar and a lot of them move in mass when they drive. However, there are a few couples who like to speak a lot and have a tendency to shoot over the heads of their intended targets, oddly it doesn’t seem to phase them, the targets remain sluggish and unresponsive.

I'm sure this may come as a shock to many of you, but I've yet to find any color of red that is not superior to any color of yellow.....
Definitely, get the red
