All my custom string sets from <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a> finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/LaBella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaBella</span></a>. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.</p><p>Also, bought a Greco GS940 <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/semihollow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>semihollow</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/shortscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortscale</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bass</span></a> that I'm going to convert into a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/fretless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fretless</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/cello" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cello</span></a>.

Details to follow. 😜</p><p>Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Behringer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Behringer</span></a> graphicEQ and <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DBX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DBX</span></a> compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.</p><p>Traded in a hard case that came w/ my <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Ibanez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ibanez</span></a> bass.</p><p>It's certainly been a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/NGD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NGD</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/newGearDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>newGearDay</span></a> !</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/musicEquipment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicEquipment</span></a></p>
Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>I have an epiphany. No, not the web browser.</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/GHSstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GHSstrings</span></a> half round on the bottom of my 6-string <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a>. Make it G# standard. The rest are flatwounds. .22g wound topmost</p><p>Double up courses a la <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/12string" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>12string</span></a> but, only the top 3. Plain (neon white) <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a> +1 octave.</p><p>Tailpiece &amp; bridge rattle.

Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>I'm debating turning my <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/GLguitars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GLguitars</span></a> Fallout <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/shortscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortscale</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bassguitar</span></a> into a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/PiccoloBass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PiccoloBass</span></a>. Tuned as:<br>B1 - .080<br>E2 - .060<br>A2 - .046<br>D3 - .036<br>G3 - .024</p><p>The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a>, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings. </p><p>With a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Kahler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kahler</span></a> *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.</p>
Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>Just spoke to a guy at <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRstrings</span></a> on the phone for 20min. I had placed a rather large, complex custom order. It wasn't correct. He's shipping what I didn't get to my place rather than the store.<br>😸</p><p>Good <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/customerservice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>customerservice</span></a> after all. Mistakes happen. Person A»B»C things might not go right. I was frustrated and disappointed at first but, now It's okay.</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/musicianlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicianlife</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/musicequipment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicequipment</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/guitarstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guitarstrings</span></a></p>
Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaL<p>I finally put the tapered .170 gauge <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DAddario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DAddario</span></a> string on my <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Ibanez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ibanez</span></a> BTB1406 <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/electricbass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electricbass</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/contrabass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>contrabass</span></a>. It's massive! Quite a workout to play. 😅</p><p>I suspect the other strings are <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/DRStrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRStrings</span></a> Black Beauties. It's got <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Nordstrand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nordstrand</span></a> pickups and they do the job well.<br>It's nice not having that puny guitar top string on it anymore 😝 Made a <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/realman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>realman</span></a> out of this <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bass</span></a> now!</p><p>I'm okay with this one being plain and the rest coated black because it tells the world what it is. 🤣</p>
