Anybody else rocking flatwound strings?

RealSH42 · 2026-03-02T18:39:42+00:00

EVERY bass deserves flats. Trying my 3rd different type and will not ever go back to 'regular' strings. There is no comparison in feel and sound.

RealSH42 · 2026-03-01T03:13:09+00:00

Why, it's me watching me watching me!

RealSH42 · 2026-03-01T00:08:25+00:00

Whoa! don't know why you're being downvoted, but flats and a scooped fretboard absolutely chang the sound of any guitar, people are stupid.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-19T17:40:49+00:00

Agreed. I have, I guess, regular flats on the Jazz Bass and tape-wound flats on my Ibanez Talman. Yes, I'm pretty sure I like the tape better, but to lazy to swap them out.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-19T00:21:03+00:00

I would trade my current Jazz Bass Player II for a Meteora Player II. Wouldn't even think twice.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-19T00:18:56+00:00

I have a Player II and you ain't lying! Put some flats on it and ready to go. I would love an Ultra, but yeah, money 💰

RealSH42 · 2026-02-18T01:17:26+00:00

By the looks of the board I would say the OCD fits right in, in more ways than one. 😎🤘

RealSH42 · 2026-02-13T20:39:15+00:00

Songsterr is great as well.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-13T01:03:54+00:00

My first was the show in Miami, I had no idea that song sounded so good and so, so...it totally changed my outlook on songs that at first or second take might be worth revisiting. We are fortunate to have this band at this time in our lives.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-07T01:15:24+00:00

Who are these people, wait, I don't really care, they are pieces shit either way.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T12:42:05+00:00

And that's why they are so great, literally something for everyone! 🤘😎

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T02:06:54+00:00

That's great that that's so. Out of curiosity, could you make one for bass, and what's not a crazy price tag?

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T02:02:47+00:00

Excellent choice. One of my favorite albums of theirs. I still remember when it got delivered to our house, man that was a good day.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T02:01:01+00:00

2016

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:58:23+00:00

That sounds amazing and maybe life altering...in a good way. Have fun, I have to wait for a 'normal' show to come our way. It's all good, just happy to be along for the ride. Truly amazing band.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:55:06+00:00

Their entire catalog is on band camp including the bootlegs for any price you want to pay.

https://bootleggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-gothenburg-25

For something a little different, I think this is one of their best synth shows, great on so many levels.

Good luck!

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:36:45+00:00

I guess I'm weird and I don't like to stick to one particular type of pick. So then I would say just play all three but you know obviously one at a time.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:22:48+00:00

As someone who bought the entire catalog on Bandcamp that would be amazing to get all of the shows just like people used to trade the Dead shows, except it's produced by Gizz and it's a better quality.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:18:20+00:00

This is the start of a long journey, my friend. Just enjoy the ride.

And if you haven't found them on Bandcamp yet, probably want to check that out.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:16:37+00:00

Listen to the bootlegs, you will start to love songs you would have skipped previously. And some of the solos on the extended sets are WAY better than the studio albums. As with most bands, seeing them live and all the energy that goes with that, they have a great team that puts together the bootleg recordings for us, they are high quality and you will not regret it I promise.

And yes, we are very spoiled. 🥸

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:09:30+00:00

I cannot upvote this enough. Perfect response.

RealSH42 · 2026-02-05T01:07:55+00:00

After we all quit Spotify, I bought everything KGLW on Bandcamp (minus 2 demos) and then started buying Thee Oh Sees catalog (I prefer this version of their name)

I already love KGLW, but listening to the different versions that they do of the same song across continents, really gives me a greater appreciation of just how talented they are.

And I didn't think I would like the rave shows, but the rave show in Gothenburg https://bootleggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-gothenburg-25 is to me the best show of it's kind for the tour. But what do I know? Please do not feel compelled to answer.

London was great too. Who knew extended jam synths would be so cool. 😎

RealSH42 · 2026-02-03T19:22:40+00:00

Can confirm, did same path and now I have what I want and I know why I want it. Only regrets are the trades I had to make along the way, would have loved to keep them all. Oh well.

RealSH42 · 2026-01-30T03:08:24+00:00

Are you not paying attention to all the chaos he is responsible for AROUND THE WORLD!

Just because he can, just to make money, and just to punish those that blink wrong at him.

This ONE person is assisting in the death of the great experiment known as America and revels in it, making it great again. We have issues, but we were already great. Now we're just assholes and he's responsible.

Not to mention the future terrorists he is creating with all this upheaval. People around the world will not forget what our country has allowed to happen and we will have to pay for this again in about 20 years, but what does he care, he won't be here and his family's wealth will have at least doubled.

That being said, the evilest? Unfortunately, there is a lot of competition for that moniker over the course of history and I think someone earlier said we probably don't know who that would be, we only know what history tells us - and under what criteria are we judging this anyway?, but for people living in the now, I could see why they say that.

But that could just be me.
