Wow. I can't believe it. A bass string thread!
But a very specialized bass string thread.Wow. I can't believe it. A bass string thread!
So TURN UP!TI's sounded great at home but with their softer attack could not penetrate enough onstage for me to be able to hear what I was playing (lotsa competition with drum subs and low keys and 5 vocalists, 2 guitars) so back to Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats 2815 40-95 set. These seem to be the best for my ears regarding flats on all my basses (Ric, Gibson, Guild). Feel great, too. Almost as bright and punchy as rounds.
I cannot discern the note I am playing.

But I think the vintage skinny tuning pegs look cooler!!
Which is why my Starfire tuning pegs are each illuminated by blindingly bright LEDs...As you may know, appearance and stage presence is all that matters.
I tried them. Not bright enough for me. Not a bad thing, just not bright flats like the Ernie Cobalts. Darker than LaBellas.
