Since I’m trying a few tapewound strings out I thought I’d shield the cavities since I will be losing out on the grounding, once she’s in pieces there some interesting photos of the wear.

Update This is not a cure for sticky flats, it was a shocking idea, my balls remained fresh and fragrant throughout the gig, however my fingers felt like they were playing sand paper all night, knacker lacquer is not for bass strings..... it’s for knackers....

I’ve been a flat man for many years having gone through TIs, chromes, pyramids, roto 77, la Bella etc.... but never tried tapes and fancy giving them a go, what’s the deal, how do they feel / sound / tension/ what are the advantages / disadvantages and what brands to people like? all advice and guidance appreciated.

UPDATE: A tube of this stuff arrived today nice and early from amazon, since my next gig is not until next Friday I thought I’d give this cream a go for it’s intended purpose, whilst I didn’t purchase it for this, it seems appropriate to see how it performs. So after my morning shower I liberally applied a pound coin sized quantity of cream to the happy sacks, there was a definite initial tingling sensation followed by a definate warming, I was a little concerned that this was going to be like applying deep heat muscle rub, however it soon plateaued to a rather pleasant warming feeling. So far so good, it smells fresh and has applied well, we shall see if it also performs on the fingers.

Do you tend to use the cab sim when using the DI? I’ve used it when i’ve Played through my headphones and really liked it, but I’ve heard mixed opinions when used through the pa....
