From a few years ago when she was carrying some old Samsonite for me.Pictures or it didn't happen
I don't know what you've been up to, but how can it be more important than here?Well, I haven't been here since Monday and only missed 30 pages this time.
I used to use the 105 set... I play a little differently nowadays, do a lot more bending! Lighter hammer, hold it a little lower on the handle... Something like that. Maybe same hammer, less muscling and being a little more precise. Blah blah blah... Love these strings!I can bend these and actually do, have ruined frets when I was a youngster bending but I don't care, I can tend to dig in anyway but yes it's like the prodigal son.
Stop with the Susan Dey photos. You know where that leads.

Believe it or not but I've been taking an online proofreading course but only for my own posts of course
.I personally never got seeking harm for the one who isn't one's spouse. It's illogical. That third person never made any promises to you to not do that. Not that I wouldn't be mad, but it would be misdirected to the wrong person if I found/learned about my wife with some guy. He should know better, but she was the one who promised to know and do better.
During the pandemic we could only leave our apartments one hour a day for exercise out here, and this was close to a year so it turned into a big long woodshed for me, I had wanted to get good with a pick again since I started out with one when I was a kid playing guitar and bass and actually achieved it, I'm almost as good with a pick now and I am with my fingers so yeah, I've added a lot to my technique too.
Kind of the same with me. I never had any bad strings, but tried other things for years. Tried them again a couple years ago and they are perfect for some basses. But I have really been enjoying SIT Power Steels of late of a couple basses. Can you get those down there (reasonably)? Worth a try sometime.I used those from about 1972 until 1995 when I started getting dead E's. I started buying them again last year after going through the whole gamut, flats, nickels, other SS roundounds, nothing felt like them. I have them on all the basses I have out here now. Except I use the regular gauge, 105-45. Nothing sounds nor feels like a good Roto Swing 66. Home again.I do realize there are some who vehemently disagree with me.

thanks Donnie!
I play along to Steely Dan on youTube here and there, my style is absolutely nothing like Chuck Rainey's but I can get them down pretty well, I love that stuff. Walter Becker was a pretty good bassist too, he even played a T-bird through SVT's in the early days.
I don't know, I buy all my strings from Just Strings and have them shipped here, the selection here is usually pretty skimpy.

That's exactly how they sounded when I played them!*
*Ever so large exaggeration.
Sounding good dude!
I'm telling ya, the white Larry Graham right there boys!
Susan who?Stop with the Susan Dey photos. You know where that leads.
Can't find a live version from the 80s. Saw them a couple times and they were nothing short of amazing live. Great players. Started out cooking and it only got better. Shows where I left thinking, "Wow!"

For myself, I don’t notice neck dive once I’m playing. It doesn’t slow me down.
I have 50-110 RS66s on my Eagle. I was doing a tune where I had to bend up a whole tone (octave on the D up to E), then pluck and drop down slowly. I could only manage a few runs through at a time!
