Apples and Oranges - The Pink Floyd

I always used 50-110 in my drop C days. Plenty of rattle but I liked that - I was playing COC/Down-esque metal so that extra growl and flexibility was great when improvising under the guitar solos I'll admit, I only went for that gauge as they were heavier than normal. I didn't realise you could get heavier sets back then, but I was perfectly happy with them.

Colin Hodgkinson, one of the most astoundingly original and unique voices of the bass, spent a time playing with Whitesnake. Always looked like he was having a hell of a good time doing it though!

I've had three and the weight has varied. None have been particularly heavy. I too replaced the machine heads with Gotohs, like @Jean-Luc Pickguard , but this was purely for appearances. I even added an ebony thumbrest - useless but looks great! Wonderful basses, if you find a good one. Mine was one of the first in the country and has a lovely dark fingerboard.

Ryan bought my Tech 21 Dug - easy comms, quick payment, great to deal with! A trustworthy BCer.

Noonward Race - Mahavishnu Orchestra

The Grand Illusion - Styx

I love St Anger. It's one of the most honest things they've ever made. However, like any Metallica post '92, it's far too long and could happily lose two or three songs. It does sound horrible, but it's supposed to. It's a primal scream.
