Careful choices with your panties make all the difference

Remember, boxers are your friends..... Crab pattern or not.

Is there such a thing as an Irish baritone?

I’m sure there is. Just can’t think of any outside of Bono.

But the Welsh probably have that sewn up with Tom Jones and his ilk.

Need help identifying some bass strings.
Looking for which strings have black ball ends, no silk at the bridge, and light blue silk at the tuners. Appear to be round wound nickels no taper on either end. Any ideas?

PS - I’ve had them on a bass for at about 15 years and would like to replace them with an identical set.

Dean Markley Blue Steel Nickels or older style Stainless Blue Steel?

DM's ball ends aren't all black. Or were they 15 years ago?

Post that to the string forum, along with a photo.

Ditto on most likely DM. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

I sent this to Geoff, but everyone should watch this. Every time I heat Tommy play I'm even more impressed. Wow!
Some sage advice as well. Ignore the title.

Without going upstairs to check, I think I have a set of BSs that are all black. I think. Uncertain age, but I don't think >15 yrs.

I have the cheapest cutaway & pickup Maton even through I’m an (open chords only) 3 chord strummer. Badly at that.

But I figure if they are good enough for Tommy, Neil Finn, Paul Kelly, Colin Hay and many many more….

How many did you buy?

Bent Wing Birds! You really don't want much (if any!) angle while playing, so maybe they fold up for transport & storage.

Negative. Negative.

I love the classic formal look of that tuxedo NR! Probably my fav of all the new NR offerings.
