The extraneous gold hardware (Guitar Fetish gold connector cables, gold straplocks, gold case latches/hinges) matches the gold hardware on my Gibson Goldtone amplifier. I even prefer Herco Gold nylon picks (although the heavier Herco Silvers are nice for hard picking styles).
The case even has gold (yellow) stitching around the sides of the lid. It's a really nice yet inexpensive Guardian brand. I just kind of feel better in public or at a club with a case that doesn't advertise "Gibson" with a big shiny embossed logo on the side. And the black fur is sexier anyway.
The most popular electric strings have nickel-plated steel wrapping the wound strings. But earlier strings were mostly wound with solid nickel and had a slightly mellower tone. Purely nickel-wound sets like Gibson Les Paul Signature, Rotosound Pure Nickel, or GHS Nickel Rockers still offer vintage tone. (Stainless steel strings have a brighter tone with more bite, but will also take a bite out of your frets more quickly than other strings).
This guitar is outfitted with Hybrid Slinkys. They're custom lights, an industry term for 9's with a 42 top, and a good size for a typical Les Paul. These Ernie Ball hex-core nickel-plated strings are Jimmy Page's choice; why not yours? Hybrid Slinky (9-11-16-26-36-46) are an ideal blend of Super Slinky (9-11-16-24-32-42) and Regular Slinky (10-13-17-26-36-46). Other good sets in the same widths are the round-core nickel plated Dean Markley 1978 Custom Lites, and GHS Boomers Custom Lights.
Some players believe heavier 10s and 11s produce better sound, but there's not necessarily much truth in that. Billy Gibbons, for example, plays 7s. Dunlop sells his 'signature' brand of Rev. Willy's strings, which, besides Extra Light (7-38) also come in Light (8-40) and Medium Light (9-42). I'm still waiting to try a set of those, and a set of nickel-wound 11s, for a heavy blues shootout.
This 1960's Eko Florentine Bass was restrung with Rotosound Trubass strings in 1969. 40 years of abuse and still going...
My beloved Rickenbacker 4003 is 22 years old – almost to the day – and 24 years since it was born in Santa Ana, California. I've played with the string height at the bridge many times, sometimes higher, sometimes lower, sometimes trying to get that cool Chris Squire sound with a hint of uniform fret buzz. But for the last couple of years it's been buzzing on the top few frets on the A, D and G strings when I play high up. So I decided to give it a little neck adjustment.
The truss rod under the E and A strings turned out to be less than finger tight! With the adjusting nut snugged up, half a turn on both was sufficient to straighten the neck just enough. Although Rickenbacker changed the truss rod design after the 4001 model to something more reliable, simply cranking on the truss rod nuts is a quick way to crack the fingerboard or even split it off the neck. The standard approach is to clamp the bass to a table, and load the headstock to counteract the string tension and only then tighten the truss rod nuts.
I raised the bridge saddles half a millimeter or so and gave the strings a really good clean while I was at it. For years I've been using Rotosound 43-110 (Billy Sheehan's spec; I used to buy 45-105 and a separate 110, before I discovered the custom set) and now it plays like butter!

Los mejores bajistas de la historia:
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Steve Harris (Stephen Percy Harris, nacido el 12 de marzo de 1957 en Leytonstone, Londres, Inglaterra) es el fundador, bajista y compositor principal del grupo británico de heavy metal Iron Maiden. Fundó la banda cuando era sólo un adolescente en 1975. Es el único miembro original de la banda que todavía permanece, treinta años después (aunque Dave Murray ha participado en la grabación de todos los discos).
Steve Harris comunmente utiliza un bajo de tan solo 4 cuerdas y en raras ocasiones de 5. Dice que tan solo usa 4 cuerdas porque son las cuerdas tradicionales y porque el sonido de Maiden cambiaria con mas cuerdas.
Solía trabajar como delineante de arquitectura en la zona del East London, pero lo dejó para formar Iron Maiden. A mediados de los setenta era un joven futbolista del West Ham United. Es un buen jugador, por lo que muchos de sus compañeros de la banda afirman que si no tocase el bajo se dedicaría sin duda al fútbol profesional.
Bajista autodidacta, su primer bajo (una copia de un Fender Precision Bass) lo obtuvo con 15 años por el precio de 40 libras esterlinas. Continuó utilizando un modelo "Unicorn" de la firma Lado y un Fender Precision con cuerdas RotoSound de finales de los cincuenta. Ahora usa sus propias cuerdas RotoSound flatwound. Es sorprendente ya que este tipo de cuerdas no dan un sonido rechinante y claro. De hecho, el ruido metálico se produce al rebotar las cuerdas sobre los trastes, dando el peculiar estilo de Steve Harris.
Ha sido influenciado por otros bajistas como Chris Squire de Yes, John Deacon de Queen, Geezer Butler de Black Sabbath o John Entwistle de The Who, entre otros; pero uno de los bajistas preferidos de siempre por Steve Harris, fue Pete Way, de UFO, de quien se ha dicho que ha influido fuertemente el estilo de ejecución de Harris.
Sus anteriores bandas antes de crear la suya propia fueron Gypsy's Kiss y posteriormente Smiler, banda en la que era mucho más joven que el resto de miembros. Aunque ninguna de las dos sacó discos al mercado siendo Harris el bajista.
El nombre de Iron Maiden lo sacó al ver un instrumento de tortura llamado Iron maiden en la película "El hombre de la máscara de hierro".
Su estilo tocando es muy amplio y variado: desde sus famosos galopes alternando los dedos índice y corazón, hasta la ejecución de powerchords, dependiendo de la canción y del ritmo que le quiera imprimir. Ha asegurado que nunca ha usado púa para tocar y que nunca realiza ejercicios de calentamiento antes de tocar. A la hora de escribir las letras toma como fuente de inspiración la Historia, la mitología o películas.
En resumen, considerado como el guía de la banda, es indudable que Iron Maiden ha llegado hasta lo más alto del panorama del rock internacional gracias a su duro trabajo y a su determinación para llevar a cabo su sueño de éxito musical.

I couldn't afford the Höfner, so I got the next best thing: a Rogue VB 100. It has a set of Rotosound black nylon wrapped strings on it that give it a sound almost like an acousitc bass if the eq on the amp is set right. It is a medium-scale hollowbody, so it is light weight—a little neck-heavy. It has a nice neck but I think the string spacing is kind of narrow. I believe the pickups are single coil units. I removed some ugly, chrome filigree on the tailpiece, along with the pick guard. A Höfner tailpiece is too long to fit these basses. Anybody out there need a Höfner bass tailpiece?

For those of you that know Bass strings - Ox's Rotosound Roundwounds snaking around the head.
I was trying out a 2nd hand lens, hence the100% crop from an image of my guitar machine head. I mixed it up to black and white for effect. The original is a couple or three pics to the left.
Good lens for the price - actually on second thoughts it's an excellent lens for the price of a couple of pints and a kebab.

My new toy. A Kramer Focus Superstrat.
For the guitar minded.
It needed a bit of work done when I got it. Changed out the horrible chrome knobs for Fender types, adjusted the truss rod, lowered the action and set the intonation. I had to file the bottom edge of the frets as they were a bit rough. Adjusted the pickups and changed the strings for a set of RotoSounds. Played through a Behringer amp with amp modelling and using the humbucker, it sounds amazing, considering it cost £60.
