How about the one you play the most?

 

[MrMusashi]

the fretless just got a new set on

but i figured id take a photo of the bass with the strings and post here.. i guess sending it in to eb would be useless since im not in the usa and those giveaways usually are reserved to you guys over there only

Well MrM you know what? I have only had these new coated strings on my Bongo 5HHp for 3 or 4 days and I am loving the way they sound and feel. They are definately BALLsy and their sound is as fresh as the moment they went on, I have been playing them a lot and I know the Bongo is a dead accurate bass for tune, but these beauties keep the tuning on the needle even after 3 hours of constant play. MY GOD am I impressed with these? I know they are more expensive but they are really worth the extra cash. Absolutely spot on!

Don't you have a redwood??

 

[MrMusashi]

the redwood scares me..
every time i pick it up i start thinking about how measly our little lives are compared to a tree that stood for 1000 years.. and then my mind starts spinning and i start thinking about why we are here...
so no way im bringing that one out of the box voluntarily.. i figure it stays in the case, inside the cardboard box with original strings on. call it a tribute to nature

[oli@bass]

You should buy a new bass for those new strings

MrM

other than keeping it as an investment, wouldn't it be a tribute to get that
1000 year old wood vibrating and part of life again? just saying

Return the Redwood to the jungle from whence it came.

Or whack a bunch of new coated wickedass strings on and play the living crap out of it!

 

[MrMusashi]

hmm.. i might just have to do that

or get a 5 string set.. i see mostly complaints in the poll department
