Just a post in praise of the TI JR. Obv, not to your taste, and that is cool. But if anyone out there likes a nice, compliant string that is a bit (tiny bit) rubbery/bendy, then this is the set you are seeking.- 1 reply

If you use super glue you can spend happy hours picking it off afterwards!

I am afraid that I have not read the complete thread, so forgive me if I am repeating what someone else has said. For me, an expensive bass is one where the difference between what I paid for it and what I sell it for is painfully negative. Brand new G&L and US Music Man Sub (stripped, painted and fully installed with Bongo electrics), I am looking at you. Given the BC long term loan, sell it for what you paid for it scheme, most basses are kind of cost neutral in my way of measuring expensive.

I am a bass tart and will go with any bass. This is why I have more than I need. Every bass I pick up makes me think "ooh, this is nice, we could be happy". Absolutely tragic.

When I blister, I put a couple of drops of superglue (liquid, not gel) on a piece of paper, rub the blister and the areas around it in it and carry on playing. I am not joking.

That was yesterday, right?

The way the grain has played out on that tummy cut is very pleasing.

I like it!

People shouting, rolling their eyes, making big eyes, fast edits, waving their arms, faux indignation etc on YT. The joy is that there is much better content on there so no one has to watch shouty people.

She is certainly two footing it a lot of the time. I have been the victim of this when the local Hammond bod was playing faster lines with his feet than I was with my hands. Not that that is a major achievement really. Anyway, at 1:15 she is working that swell (vol? what was I thinking?) pedal.

OK organ fans. I play organ, very, very slowly and then bring the speed back up in Logic on my tracks, which the world is not ready for. I went to watch Delvon Lamarr in the interest of research (and grooviness) and was amazed at how "messy" (for the want of a better word, and looking at it through piano playing eyes) his technique was. Of course, it was superb and worked flawlessly for what he was doing. I stress again that I was looking through the eyes of a very poor pianist. So I adopted this into my Hammond playing and it worked. Barbara seems to be pumping the vol pedal rhythmically. This is a Hammond thing?

That is the truth. But I had bought the slightly cheaper K&M without the dog bone tightening bit. And (after many years) that bit gave up. We could not tighten them enough. But with the new part, they are functionally like new again.
