Oops! Missed your post. My new, blues persona will have to be Blind Boy Ezbass. 😎

Take me to the River - Talking Heads, Al Green.

I’m on Fire - Bruce Springsteen

I’d have been all over a Wilcock Mullarkey if my budget could have stretched. The one I tried at The Gallery was great.

If you think that sounds stupid, how about hemidemisemiquaver?

King of Pain - The Police

@joseb84 The SR range would be your go to, I think. The SR370 falls under your budget and the SR500 just over. A secondhand SR from further up the range would be even better and secondhand prices are usually exceptional value for money.

Before pulling the trigger on a JMJ Mustang, I checked out many videos (I have played them in the flesh too). A couple I listened to recently had the demonstrators putting it through various effects. I couldn’t believe how well they tracked with analog, octave pedals, even right down at the nut end, no indecisive warble at all. Intrigued as to why this was possible, I did a bit more digging. It seems that SS basses produce more fundamental and less harmonic overtones than a long scale, which I assume is what octave fx and the like pick up when they don’t track correctly. Now I’m waiting patiently for my JMJ to arrive (no, that’s a lie, I’m chomping at the bit). Now thse aren’t the videos I was talking about, but I can’t stop listening to this guy.

Tone metals anyone? http://www.jamestrussart.com

This build already looks fantastic. I want it!

Post it on the FB page too perhaps? With the post B word shenanigans, this may prove a tough one to resolve.

I’ve just been reading and watching Scott Whitley waxing lyrical about GHS Super Steels. I was always a D’Addario EXL nickel guy, but the last few years I’ve been using EB Cobalt flatwounds pretty much exclusively (LaBella nylons on my Rob Allen). I was put off of SS strings due to the roughness I experienced once or twice (I don’t recall the make/s). Maybe time for a revisit.

The Sun Always Shines On TV - Aha

That long fill lick, just before he gets onto ‘the sound’ @13:20ish, is pure Geddy from Spirit of Radio. It’s all about the pocket & phrasing. Thanks for posting this.
