Upgrade Day! Anyone Else Upgrading?

And just as heavy :slight_smile:

I upgraded my loose strap button with a toothpick and some wood glue. :sweat_smile:

All this 3D printing! Surely it’s easier, nicer and more eco to get a nice piece of wood, sand and oil it and there you go. No fancy files, printers or plastic needed!

I just scored a couple of sets of TI Jazz Rounds 43-101 Super Long (JR364) for $71. 09 each.

I cut them to length for my 34” basses, and they feel and play great.

gimmesomestrings.com is having a 10% off Black Friday sale on all string brands.

I ended up getting the Purple O-bass in the end.
It arrived yesty, after missing delivery on Monday and them not putting it on the truck on Tuesday (they call it stormy Monday, Tuesday’s just as bad, I got my bass on Wednesday and now I’m not so mad).
I had a quick look when I got home, nothing broken, nice finish, mystery roundwound strings, the electrics work and it sounds good, comes with a gig bag and a spare black pickguard.

Then I put it away and will wrap it for Xmas.
I’ll do a report then :slight_smile:
