I hate strings with silks. Last time I used them, I tried getting the silk parts off with a knife, and then a lighter.Unless those are the ones you should use, of course...

Been away for a few days getting ready for my wife's operation which she had this morning (thyroid cancer), so I guess I'll be preoccupied for a while longer. Didn't want to just drop off the face so to speak, will be back to annoy you all again soon, be warned![]()
Glad to hear things have gone so well, Colin.
Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. I hope to report a successful operation and recovery in the next few weeks as well. Staying positive since negative thoughts don't help anyone.
LOL - Kat - your quick wit and dry humor should be shared on this thread...I heard you can get rattlesnakes to lick them off.
You are threatening to unleash our Kat on the rest of the world? I'm not sure that's a good idea.
I live to offend the sensibilities of others.Letting any of us get out into the general population too much is probably a questionable idea. It sure is fun, though.

That sounds pretty Buddhist.
LOL - a couple of our TBird clan are regulars over there. The misinformation thread contains a vast wealth of expert knowledge on every aspect of owning and operating a bass guitar. Kat's rattlesnake hack is exactly the keen perspective sought on that thread. Here's a taste of my sage advice to all those bitten by the bass bug...You are threatening to unleash our Kat on the rest of the world? I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Oh?I gotta stay away, I'd just be taking pot shots those 7enderistas and their white hats. Get me kicked outta here![]()
Ok so Im way behind stil so Im sorry if this blends in at the wrong spot but is the place you describe the "taint"?Chiming in... I tend to play between the sweet-spot and the neck.
Sounds kinda sexy, don't it...

That would put your taint in the middle of your back, so no.Ok so Im way behind stil so Im sorry if this blends in at the wrong spot but is the place you describe the "taint"?
