Show Us Your Basses (Part 1)

Sorry @T_dub that’s not exactly my style of music. I really like Frank as a person and respect him as a bass player, but their music is not exactly in my wheelhouse.

I was going to put those flats you sent me on her, but then I noticed I had a set of black nylon tapes on my shelf and thought, “hmmmmmmmmmm?”
They sound great on the ESP and look quite dashing.

I am so glad you didn’t put flats on an ESP :slight_smile:

Mostly joking of course. But they generally make guitars known for their aggressive attack.

Which doesn’t really mean anything, it’s just kind of a funny bass to buy and put flats on.

You should put whatever strings on it you like best.

I put flats on any bass. You know how much I hate rounds. Flats is my sound and my feel. I don’t think I should be restricted as to which bass on which I use flats. I’m actually rather surprised you didn’t comment on my putting tape wounds on the ESP.

I think its totally cool looking with tapes. Looking forward to hearing it!

I actually thought about leaving the rounds on, and played it for about a half hour with a glove on my fretting hand. I finally gave in to my inner desires and yanked those rounds off LOL

Ha, yeah, if you don’t like 'em, you should definitely swap them out.

That’s a really nice looking bass and I’m betting you’ll love it. ESP makes really good guitars.

I swapped out the factory rounds for the MJC Ironworks rounds I put on my other ESP P/J active bass and I like the tone a LOT.
The feel is good, but not as good as the Labella RX stainless rounds I have on the TRBX305, but going to leave them for now.

Can’t wait to hear it with the tapes on it @PamPurrs

That’s a badass lookin’ bass for a BABG.

I love instruments that stand out and make a statement!
