The best I can describe them might be some kind of knock off Roto-like string. If I recall, bright and a little thin. I've searched for a name with no success. As far as I know, no one really knows. I think thay might slap on whatever they got a deal on. I didn't leave them on long. Didn't want to like them and never be able to get them again.

I place no value on the provenance of a bass but a watermelon is invaluable!But you would pay top dollar for a watermelon bass.

A little but it's still Thunderbird Thursday on the Best Coast.
I spent part of my day off interviewing a a potential new singer for The Nasty Habits, wow I met a very interesting 49 y.o. Israeli woman that was very down to earth, cool and a bit exotic, can't wait to audition her sometime in early May.

Sweet score Kara!

Got some strings on the way (my usual neon red DRs), and it needs cleaning, setup, etc. But honestly not much, it's pretty close right out of the box.
But, that knob's gotta go!
I'm debating pulling the volume pot, putting it back to a switch, but the install of the pot was done so well, I may just leave it alone....
(but definitely chucking the knob....
)
Hope that was worth the tease

Wasn't looking for this.......Here's Tom Hamilton with a Post '88 onstage with Aerosmith and Jimmy Page.
I got my first Pfizer shot last Saturday. Muscle soreness was the only side effect. Most people I know had a bad reaction to the second shot rather than the first.
Wow! Did I miss something? I didn't know you had to replace your singer.
Who do you think manufactures them?But you would pay top dollar for a watermelon bass.

For me - nothing from the first one and very little from the second one. (slight chills and body aches that night and the next day) I just depends on the person.
Carlin used to say that where a form said "occupation", he was gonna put "foole" with the final 'e' just to pi$$ them off.
