This was the tune I had in mind from high school days....

Damn it! Hate when that happens. I am fallible after all, southpark. Thanks for the correction. Bastid.

Love that song.

I forgot about Acoustic. Seeing the light blue brought back the memory. I recall those being very good bass amps.

What a treasure for those folks in the vid having an authentic JP Jones amp from the Zeppelin days.

Back in the 70s, once I found out Entwistle and Squire used them, I switched over to Rotosound, round wound, electric bass strings. They were amazing, and I never went back to anything else.

Recently, I saw the video below, which is a telling of Rotosound's history. After which, I bought some of their acoustic and electric guitar strings. (Usually I stick with D'Addario Phosphor Bronze for acoustic and Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky for electric.) I'm still testing them out, but the quality and sound is very, very good and comparable to my usual strings.

I used Rotosound Bass strings, round wound as well, back when I played in a band a couple years ago. Loved them. I tried flat wound as well, I liked them for certain songs but overall Roundwound has a much better tone, especially for slap.

This is the man responsible for getting me into Rotosound bass strings. Love that Squire uses the "Sound Chaser" riff as a "warm up". Right, like we can all just launch into that style.



Nice video I watched a while back. Wow, Chris has aged.

Squire makes pickin a bass cool man. The Roundabout bassline is one of the best ever IMO.

The acoustic 360 was pretty kool, just hard to lug around.

I used the D'Addario half rounds on my fender Precision back in the day.....I never liked the Chris squire/Geddy bass sound for me. I liked more bass, Entwhistle, JPJ etc...

If I had the money, my next guitar (electric or acoustic) would be a Collings. Here's a nice piece with Bill Collings and several of their craftsmen/luthiers.

This is one instrument I would LOVE to learn how to play. Anyone ever played a Chapman Stick? Truly an amazing instrument.

Very cool video. Thanks for sharing this, BF.

I have never even seen one in person. Almost like a combination of a guitar and harp.

Saw this recently. Think JW may have some interest. Trucks is amazing.

It is phenomenal, you can essentially play a full base line and lead guitar sounds with one instrument and as you can see you don't pluck the strings. If you ever get the chance to hear someone play one live do it, you will be amazed.

When Johnny could scorch the fretboard. Southpark, note the bass amp.

Great story involving David Gilmour and this gorgeous sounding Fender Jazz Bass. Pratt has worked with myriad musicians. He also married late Pink Floyd keybordist Richard Wright's daughter.

I remember learning some of those lines in high school.... pretty cool. Love when he did the Bee Gees piece.

Surprised he didnt play Barney Miller.
