I must be the only one who thinks that place is awful, over cooked and salty as ever.
It all tastes the same.
Tried it once and never went back.

There's one not that far from the house, don't worry, we won't be visiting it during your stay in Des Moines.

hard to believe it's a Gibson made product ….. looks like a Musicmaster bass…,.bet it sounds much better than a Musicmaster…

apparently 7ender complained about the shape and the next few years gave us the EB (sg) shaped basses....

IT's definitely better than a modern mudbucker, including the dimarzio model 1, which is nice.

I did buy an artec mudbucker off the reverbs, but I haven't put it in anything yet.
 
Our OG kind of near us is really good. Has been for years.
Haven't been since before the pandemic. It was a decent place for the kids back in the day.

We had a Romano's Macaroni Grill that was actually quite good. Unfortunately, it closed having never recovered from the pandemic. There are a few non-chain places that are great, but they have become so expensive that it's hard to justify eating at them anymore.

I liked Romano's, and not just for the crayons.
 
Hi guys, greetings from Czech again. Neck cleaned, frets kissed by steelwool, so smooth and shiny as a mirror, but THE question arises. Which strings? I love rock (TB will be perfect for M Manson covers) and metal, but still i love flatwounds most for smoothness and no noise from sucky playing... So, any heretic here as well? What you like, guys? Should i smack myself for that idea? All good? Whats your ideal brand?

I am using everything from old school La Bellas on five string SR885 ( great feel, ok full sound but maybe tooo old-chool for fiver) Rotos - awesome feel and tone on my short scale for some Bowie stuff. But got EB 2810 (without B string) on my active BC Rich Zombie - brutal and full sound!

To immediate usage, i have some bronze strings from 5s Ibanez BTB, practically new nickel wound on another Ibanez (with 4 pegs in line even) and even new packed EB cobalt flatwounds, again five string pack, so B might be handy if Drop tune pedal wont be good enough for B.

If i would buy another new, id get probably Elixirs from rounds or Thomastik TI flats to test. So, what ya use and suggest? My question might be might be used as some kind of survey... Thanks and have a cool day.
