The Last Bass Outpost

No need to get flustered Dave. I hear the blues in what Blackmore played in the context of that Deep Purple song. If you can't, maybe Uwe's right and you weren't listening. I wouldn't say they qualified as stadium rock at that point in their career yet either. Here's a more traditional blues song dealing with heartache.

I thought all the LaBella flats were hex core before these new strings came out
I tried round core DR flats that had rough looking windings and saw others with similar issues. The TIs also have the layer of silk thrown in between there. I don't think the new low tension La Bellas have that.

Also these are round core vs hex core Pilgrim. The whole idea of a flatwound string with a round core makes me nervous thinking that the outer wraps will have nothing to bite on to keep them from falling apart.

I have only bought used or vintage for the last 20 years but did make an exception for a custom build which is nearing completion.

This is the music I'm going to play on my bass boat's stereo when I'm water skiing with some honeys on the river. There will be a cooler full of silver bullets and I'll wear a cut off mesh football jersey and have a mullet!

Better buy up those pre Cordoba, FMIC Guilds now before they start demanding collector level prices 

It's a good feature and one that Leo championed at his last venture with G&L. The downfall was it's potential for making the necks susceptible to the dreaded ski jump when set ups were left to dunder headed owners or inept techs. Would rather have that type of set up than six bolts like the G&Ls have now. Nice hog P btw SD.
