I bought these Chrome Flatwounds Bass strings May last year for $ 69.99.
A year later they are now $89.99

Really digging a very light Overdrive and Compression playing walking Jazz or Blues with a flatwound strung Bass.
Great smooth sound with the option to dig in

I’d like to have Jam night 3-4 times a week.
Abandoned any use of a plectrum tonight. Maybe next week.

I’m not normally a judgey kind of guy, except for when I judge bass players for using picks

I like plectrums
I don’t use them much but it’s a cool change of tone.
If I really put the practice in I would like them more

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Had a lot of fun with both fingerstyle AND plectrum on Saturday night. Last minute fill-in for an injured player...fortunately, I knew most of the songs on guitar so it wasn't too much to learn in four days.
Probably the loudest I've ever run the Markbass + Origin Bassrig combo. It necessitated earplugs!

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
I have a 35kg Gallien Kruger combo and that's bad enough! Looking a replacement and weight comes a very close second to tone!
Joys of getting old, or soft. Or both.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I can pickup my markbass combo with one finger and it smokes my old ampeg rig. Better living everyone
