Almost forgot - “Starman”, where Trevor switches from Fender to that Gibson (that looks like an SG but I keep forgetting the arcane designations for the bass versions)-

I'm hip. I'm also 78 y/o and no longer GAS.
Well, at 62 I must say that GAS is a gas, but (I’m going to keep it clean) can be a pain! Hey, I’m a writer!

The pave is a harsh mistress... I learned the hard way early on. Sometimes I blacked-out but a couple times I watched itt happen in (at the moment) in slow-mo...

I owned-and stupidly sold-a 66 Gibson EB-3(that's what's in the video). Gibson/Epi can re-name them anything they want. To me they'll always be EB-0s(1 pup)/EB-3s(2 pup). So there. Nyah, nyah, nyah.
BTW, I'm not a Bowie fan(ducks projectiles). Only looked at video to see the bass: EB-3.

Trevor is playing an EB-3 (Mudbucker + Minibucker), it's guitarist Mick Ronson that's singing with him. Both were great musicians, that I think Bowie (for all his own talent), was more than fortunate to have in his band at the time.

Yep, in my risk / digital protection realm that came up as a thing a few years ago. Seems to have been forgotten during / since Covid

Softer mids, maybe a way of thinking of it. But if you want the most mids from a string, the Foundations are not it. To me they are more like Power Steels in my applications (which I like and used last night on the NR). They appear to have less mids than the Power Wounds. Maybe it because they sound brighter and lower that the mids seem less than the PWs. The PWs have less sparkle and maybe not as much in the lows. But maybe it's because they are well balanced across the spectrum. After tying all that, maybe it's because they are different!YMMV, but that's what I notice. Accuracy may vary.
Don’t confuse me!
I’ll stick with getting the Power Steels then.

Yeah, the one in the picture. Must have those fake wood stickers.
String talk? Just put a new set of EXL170M to my recently purchased Squier Rascal and now it plays great. Inspired by that I put on my gig clothes (or actually the tie, those are my regular clothes) and shades and started to wait (in front of the mirror...) in case some psychedelic power pop band needs a bassist with a green bass. The inverness green NR will travel too.
This is the one on the android phone.

The one on the iPad.
Well, I can't find that one and the others are not free or require subscriptions for modules.
Possibly someone has better options. But the one's I have seem OK to someone who is ignorant.

The in-laws had a few cows go that way. Not very common. Only once that I recall.
But you want mids, so you need Power Wounds!!!Don’t confuse me!

I’m a big enough fan to make up for it.I owned-and stupidly sold-a 66 Gibson EB-3(that's what's in the video). Gibson/Epi can re-name them anything they want. To me they'll always be EB-0s(1 pup)/EB-3s(2 pup). So there. Nyah, nyah, nyah.

He surrounded himself with great musicians. Just check this out:

One of the “local” (couple hours away) darkglass dealers is also an Eich dealer. But the store is by appointment only and blah blah blah. Don’t have the darkglass amps in stock blah blah.
