I prefer the A frame design. I have a compact Hercules which fits in a bag but I don't trust it as much.

Sacrilege!! This would mean we would not have a need for a fretless bass...what am I supposed to do with the space and money??? Oh, OK...I could buy another bass I suppose..

I have tapewounds on several basses. First used them on my Silk bass, they feel sooo good to play with great tone. I can't play Steel strings anymore. I find the Warwick or Fender tapewounds to be great vfm - the Warwicks are available as 40 and 45 too, fattest string in a 4 string pack is 100/ 110 - this means you can order a 115 or 125 B string keeping the set as light as a Steel set.

@ChWillie...Nice dog.

I recently paid £57 for a set of tapewounds. No 5 string sets available at the time so had to go for a 4 string plus a single. The 4 string set were £43 and a single 5th string was £8 - then there was the P&P. Now available on Amazon and eBay for around £50 Thomann are the cheapest site but are charging £19 delivery Earlier this year I think I paid £39 to my door. When I could buy them from Status Graphite they were soo cheap that it was like buying steels from a shop. Ah, those were the days...and reminiscing was so much better then too.

Mine is arthritis - hands and elbows mostly - just have to play in moderation.

I credit @pedwith the "invention" of finger puppet tuners. If anybody else takes credit we should support our leader in any court action he might choose to take.

Ramps are like those finger puppet things that @ped has on his tuners...seem like a good idea for a while but then you realise that they're superfluous. Remember eye lashes on little cars?

I get confused on this thread. Sometimes it feels like not everybody knows the rules on this thread. From the opening post : Post a song title that relates / makes sense from the immediately previous one. Artists name in brackets. I'll start the ball rolling. if it kills me (therapy?)
