I'm *so* excited (and I just can't hide it) :)

So, my Rotosound Trubass 88's (black nylon flat wounds) arrived today and I fitted them on my fretless thumb...

The first new set of strings on my fretless, replacing the Warwick 'stock' strings.

Oh my god, what a sound!

Low, soft, rumbling 'thunder in the distance' sustain that goes on and on and seemingly wont stop until the universe dies in heat death. Jazz songs (killing me softly - roberta flack) are *so* smooth I had to play it at least 5 times.

I'm stunned. Why didn't anyone tell me what this would be like?? [attachment=115570:roto.jpg]

Oh yeah... but trust me, the looks aren't even close to the sexiness of the sound!

I know, I know, I know......

Assuming that the bracketed adendum to your thread title is designed to imply the reader to mentally complete the prose as intended by it's author.....


If , indeed , you actually did cease to function in a reasoned manner (following your statement indicating that such a phenomenon was imminant) - I'm curious as to whether your deduction regarding you being appreciative of that occurance was correct.

Discuss.

Don't be lazy! This thread correctly assumes that at least some pro-activeness on the part of readers can be expected. Buy that bass. Buy those strings. Play.
