The “other” (American) bass related conversation site.
ezbass replied to Quilly's topic in General Discussion
Oh, oh! The puns begin. Be afraid, very afraid. I think think some folks are angling to derail this thread. I don't disapprove, as some lightheartedness can tackle some of the heavier comments, which often ends in the posters making a rod for their own backs. Ooh, is that my coat? -
EB Cobalts and pitch stability (staying in tune)
ezbass replied to Soledad's topic in General Discussion
I’ve been using cobalts for a few years/sets now and I’ve not had an issue with tuning stability, nor have I had the rust problem reported in other threads. I hope that EB’s quality control isn’t slipping as these strings gain popularity. -
Isn’t the Lakland Daryl Jones a slimmed down Jazz, or am I imagining it? The Maruszczyk Elwood L is certainly smaller.
-
Rag and bone man. Unfortunately, that’s as far as I’m able to go.
-
Yeah, you do hear through bone to some extent (they do a test through the back of your skull as part of a thorough hearing test, which is a bit freaky) but your eardrums do the heavy lifting.

Flowers in the Rain, again by The Move. I talk to the Trees - Clint Eastwood.
-
Some clever, reverse marketing there, I mean, we have all had a look. It’s a rather nice thing to my eyes, not that I’ll be bidding mind.

My old Thunder 3 that I defretted, together with 6 string interloper, neither of which I have anymore sadly (GAS and all that).
-
I have the Epi Casino Coupé, which is the same size as the 339, great value and top tones, a little too reduced in size for me though (sticks in my ribs).
-
Yeah, way too bling, but a good design.
-
Gibson just getting weirder and weirder.

That’s disgusting and I smell horse manure. Unsafe my rear end; unsafe, how so? -
Ooh, I’d like one of those. However, if his main reason for buying a particular model is because the logo is inlaid rather than silk screened, then getting out more is recommended.
-
Seeing BV at a recent London Bass Guitar Show is the reason I started using a pick even more. I was already using one on covers where the original had been played with a pick, but after seeing Bobby I tried it on everything and went with what seemed to work best for the song live.
-
Funnily enough, I played it fingerstyle and with a pick just yesterday, just for practise. Both were fine, just a little bit different. Do whatever, you’re most comfortable with.

I have a 5 string MB2, but I really wanted a 4 (beggars, choosers and all that). Having played one of Jabba's creations, I could easily be persuaded to shift my allegiance.
-
Mmm, 🤤 a Jabba fretless. Be still my beating heart (and bank account).
-
VAT.

That’s the very badger!
-
I thinks it’s a Led Zep track, but can’t remember which one.
-
Fabulous shop who are happy for you try anything from cheap and cheerful to this kind of exotica. I also recommend their commission sale service.
-
👏👏👏 It is indeed (or at least it was meant to be 😂).
-
That was unduly difficult, no wonder I rarely record anything at home 😡 Anyway, this the chorus from a well known song (or at least half of it).
-
Problem uploading, I'll be back.
-
Hey Joe.

I know that one, we do it in my '80s covers band. The Police, ELTSDIM.
