it's been a little slow around here, i gotta take a coupla days off from my summer construction projects before they kill me plus it's raining
again today in the mile high, so the opportunity came up to close the circle on this one.
the band crapped out, so i restrung the mighty essence with TI flats a coupla days ago. of course, that required a complete re-setup. i couldn't believe how tight the truss rods were cranked down for those pryamids. still gotta set the intonation and dial it in but i think the crux of the biscuit here is that TI flats are the only strings i'm ever using again on this bass. they give this instrument the best feel, tension and sound that pleases my taste, so there ya have it. ymmv, imho, etc. & so forth
haven't played this bass in a while while me and the A-bass bond. they're both set up with the same strings. this bass has that freeway-width fingerboard and string spacing. it almost feels klunky after playing the A-bass. it doesn't have near the punch and depth of the A-bass. but the A-bass doesn't have a B-string. so it's a stalemate.
a little improv finger warm-up that goes up and down and across and back. kinda like my lifestyle these days...
