SICbass

You‘re a very, very naughty bass- player

Here's the blurb - they sure ain't low tension, but surprisingly (for me, at least) it seems to work in this context. I can get the strings fairly low with zero buzz, so they're easy to fret. I won't be doing much in the way of string bends, but then I don't really need that in this context anyway, so... p.s. they are easy to slide over from the get-go. My first ever flats were Fenders and itook a good long while before they stopped being "sticky", which almost put me off flats for life. Soundwise, I would describe them as well punchy and very solid. Very even across the neck. Set of Strings for Electric Bass High quality stainless steel flatwound strings for bass Complete set .045 - .100 Long scale Hexagonal core made of American steel for solid bass, optimal tension and constant volume Individually coloured ball ends for easy mounting String gauges: .045fw - .065fw - .080fw - .100fw

I just took delivery of a Harley benton PB50. I'm doing a 50s Rock'n'Roll show and have used my HB Beatbass up till now. It's fine soundwise, but the 14mm string spacing, while doable is overall a bit meh. Also, while looking at the media stuff running on the screens behind us, I noticed that, when not playing upright, they were all playing (surpise, surprise) 50s p-basses. The clue is in the name, right? Also, I wanted more of the brash 50s youth look (cars with fins n'all that) than vintage p-bass. The irony of the fact that I am in my late 50s and no longer a youth is of no relevance here 🤨 Soooooo, that's how I justified this purchase to myself. I swapped out the delivered roundwounds for HB Flats, did a bit of work on the action and Bob's your aunty's live in lover. It's loads of fun. Can't wait to do the show on Friday

Ooh, that looks just the ticket, if the string spacing is as you say it is. Hmm, but I‘m in Europe and get whacked with import duty. I‘ll definitely keep an eye out for one of those over here - thanks for pointing this out 👍

Sorry, I only just spotted this suggestion. Niiiiiice - Matron I’ll be needing the GAS medication…. ooooh!

This is very sad news. She seemed really lovely, RIP Sam.

Aaaah, this might explain it... https://www.mimikama.org/en/fake-shops-lidl/

Have I missed something here? Very possible, I am not the brightest... https://www.lidlmarket.store/collections/guitar-series?fbclid=IwY2xjawJsqGVleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqx6bjSAEkwEe38KK5YPN9pEVXUx2yjoccmSmjTPT5JwgF3rcqOCucxwrX0x2KA9NxSxRLYE_aem_cFKaXkpZAm-BPL1a7IIfgw

Sorry to hear about both of those. Good luck with the surgery. I hope it's nothing too serious.

It‘s like witnessing a snuff film. You can‘t unsee it.

Isn’t it though?

I really enjoyed that a lot. Thanks.
