There has to be a subjective element to this. Because I do not experience Labella Deep Talkins as 'extremely high tension' (unless you're talking about the Jamerson set) and I would describe D'Addario Chromes as quite bright rather than 'dull thuds'. YMMV, of course.

The second was an Olympic White Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub Precision Bass with a Hammon Dark Star pickup. Someone on here had one 'cos I rememebr playing it at a bass bash. The third, which fell through as a Dudepit bass, cos the Dudepit fell through too, became the standard model Lakland Skyline Decade in Translucent Burgundy with Chisonic pickups. There was also an earlier Fender 'Dudepit' Bass - can't remember if it was a P or a J - in Surf Green or similar.
