That would be interesting (and fun) to do. 100W isn't loud compared to a loud band, but in general, 100W of bass through a decent cab/speaker is loud.

You and me both. Bare Trees album, front and center. "When We Are Dust" ...
I learned a roll of duct tape is your friend and makes for a great cup holder.
Good lord, Jeff! Is that from a spaceship, or are you at liberty to say?
Got to use the NR with SIT Power Wounds at a quick rehearsal tonight. They sound really good and feel great. As good as any string I've tried on that bass. Really nice pick sound, but playing with fingers didn't turn into mud. Big, full and decent punch, with some nice highs with pleasant bite. I liked them so much I may leave them on and use them again Sunday before putting them on the Jazz for a better comparison to the David E. set. Then again, I'm anxious to try the Foundations as well....
TB was dial up slow late last night and is draggy at times tonight. Just me?

I had to steal it for my Karma Accelerator Donnie.
This information does not leave this club.
I've used those before, I liked them because they were light but still were a little taut.

I also like LaBella "Deep Talkin' Flats" but in a heavier gauge. Those and GHS's Precision Flats.
In fact, I took my Supersonic w/GHS flats to our BG rehearsal last night and it sounded GREAT! I started out w/flats on my BG bass ('66 J) and switched to D'Addario rounds at one point for more definition. But hearing this bass with flats in the mix reminded me of why I started with that combo.
It's been fine for me. Maybe it just seems slow compared to the music you play!

Are you crazy? (Don't answer.) What could she possibly find? We're the normal one's.

those were so, THE, standard back then….everyone (even Geddy) used them….our own NYC Bass Ambassador JJR58 aka Leon, sent over a set to the weird coast today……I also like LaBella "Deep Talkin' Flats" but in a heavier gauge. Those and GHS's Precision Flats.

Great thing about flats is they are good-to-go forever! The ones on my Supersonic are 10yrs old!
Good info on the SIT Power Wounds for the 22NR. The GHS Precision Flats were atrocious on that bass, not a good match at all. Looking forward to your finger playing experience on the 22NR with David E. strings vs the SIT PWs.
No issues here.

I use these on my Fretless Precisions, Hofners and Kliras. Great sounding flatwounds.
