It's also very nice sounding, especially since yesterday as I've fitted some (expensive) Alembic CX-3 strings. Strangely, this is my fourth Alembic (two Series One, a Spoiler and this Elan), and every time I've put these Alembic strings on them, they sounded way better... Odd, I know.

And puppets too.

I can see that you take it very seriously. I like your professionalism. Don't forget a spare strings set too. 😉

“Knowledge is freedom and ignorance is slavery.” – Miles Davis No comments.

Miles Davis was very good at it. This has always inspired me : “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there.”

Funny because the Ernie Ball Super Slinky are always my favourite strings in your "demos" and I hated them on my Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block (what a name, I know) as these were the strings fitted when I bought it. This is what Reiner and Meik fit at the factory. But strangely, I quite like them on fretted basses. Go figure. Great tests you're doing : simple and effective ! Straight to it. 👌

Yes, they are a bit slow indeed. The strings are really good. That said you can order a custom set by Newtone in the U.K. who makes really good strings too. https://newtonestrings.com/

This set would be perfect : https://kaliummusic.com/product/string-pack-2m323a3i/

Try Kalium strings, but be patient...

It could have been worst, I could have been a Mancunian liking gravy pea.

Am I doomed ? My bass has 6 strings and no frets, I like to play loads of notes, double stops and chords, I like to solo, I play very often on the dusty end and I am 182 cm tall. So I'm a bad bass player with the good height. 😎

Stop making such beautiful instruments, please. 😎 Or I'll end up ordering one...

Here is my 32 inches scale translucent blue Alembic Elan IV, but I won't keep it. I'm definitely a 34 inches scale (6 strings fretless) bass player. And it looks like a banjo on me. 🤣

Pitza, then !

Here, you have almost all available Ibanez catalogues from way back to the ... 1960's ! https://www.ibanez.com/usa/support/catalogs/

Stop boiling your fretboards !

Jame'son in the ja', of cou'se and it depends if there's a moon over bourbon street.

Looks like an original Fender strap, no ?

Excellent work, as usual. Makes me want to try one of these SimS pickups... 👌

You don't do the double bass fall trick anymore ?
