I like the bite with a guitar.
Well 600 SVT combined watts should mess with people in Bolivia. (Since tube watts are louder than solid state watts and all....)
I was experimenting with the silver sixpence pieces, then I started playing bass and they didn’t work well for bass, I still have a few somewhere. I did like them a lot but a pain to find on this side of the pond.
Dunlop has reissued the herco picks and the silver/grey ones are the ones I use for bass and treble now. I like those or 7ender celluloid.

I actually played this bass yesterday..............Stainless Rounds + a pick and an SS amp = Bliss. I loves some clank, finger noise etc. #Lovemycallousedfingertips
You can use the same Methyl Hydrate repeatedly. I don’t do it very often, but it works well. If you’re going to put old strings on a different bass, you may as well clean them.That's great. The Methyl Hydrate doesn't cost what a set of strings run does it?On a few basses I never change the kind of string and that might be an idea. Other basses its often a time to try and experiment with something new.
As a chemical engineer, I must insist that you use the correct term. It is methanol. Unless @Chucky Stiletti is going to be supplying ethyl hydrate at the GTG.
It was a ridiculous situation in Vancouver with all the “medical dispensaries” before legalization. Very few people were going to those for medicine.

Don’t post any more screenshots of those ads!
I use DuckDuckGo on my iPad. No ads, but I can’t see YouTube links.
I have picks from years of playing because I very rarely used them and would ask guitarists for them onstage if I needed one, I probably have a hundred
in a little bag. I've got Hercos, Fenders, Gibsons, Dunlops, Pick o the Rics, Pyramids, many more. I also have a bunch of them from Justrings.com because they send a little bag of 5 with every order. I like those and Fender mediums and heavies. I also have a bunch of those little numbered blocks that La Bella used to put on their strings.
I like DuckDuckGo but I will say one thing it has the absolute worst spell check I've ever seen, for example it kept highlighting neighborhood yesterday wanting me to separate it into two words.
I like at least a little give in a pick and want them to slide off the strings, I think I tried the penny on my guitar when I was a kid because I ran out of picks or something, the raised edge wore them out really fast when I picked, completely wore away the outer layer of the strings to show copper or something like that in the middle. But they were too stiff anyway. I usually use Fender mediums or heavies depending.
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists says that label is blasphemy. Never trust anything that has French subtitles.
I very rarely used both heads at one time, even two cabs was kind of overkill except in big clubs or stages. To illustrate, I once set up both cabs and heads and forgot to plug in one of the cabs and blew up the head. I didn't even notice only one was working for a few minutes (long enough to blow the head). I did run a Rickenbacker stereo with a Ric-O-Sound box through them both at one gig though, what a glorious sound.
I think I would have to say "Uncle" to that one
But what heck, I'll throw my hat in the ring
