I'm still thinking about some of these. For those that have them - how are you getting on now that they have played in a bit?

The Mark Bass Advanced Stainless Steel set are a lovely low tension set. Really easy to play. Don't know if they are long enough for you, but worth emailing them.

In 35+ years of playing I still haven't tried one. But they do look lovely. Congrats!

She was ace. Still annoyed with the bassist for not keeping to Flea’s line in “You oughta know.”

Mine arrived today as well! There were some chancers on ebay trying to sell these at £20,000 - more than a real one! Naturally I offered £40.

Andertons own comparison video is hilarious From about £50 all the way up to a real one. And they all sound the same.

You see, if you played jazz then gigging it would expose it to fewer people than at home. Job done!

I think that normal use damage / wear and tear and the odd accident are unavoidable for just about everything. Even for a sitting down jazz performance at some point a music stand is going to get bumped into an instrument, or the player themselves is going to stand up and collide with something. I gave up worrying about that sort of thing years ago as it was limiting my enjoyment of my instruments. I do my best to minimise damage of course, but some things are just unavoidable even if just playing at home.

Yes. No point owning it otherwise. Insure it properly and gig it.

Lovely!

I couldn’t decide so I didn’t…
