Too true... that's why I follow http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433047 so closely; he doesn't let the strings wear out before he switches to another set. It's good to see somebody do that with an arco perspective, too... I love that http://www.hervejeanne.de/saitenmatrix.php page, it's just that I don't play anything else than orchestral pizz these days!
(Apart from my unexpectedly regular attempts at getting better at the good ol' slapping, that is.)
I hope the former guy will be able to upload his audio clips somewhere.

Good to hear that you bass is working now, Calvin! And it's just great you have such a good relationship with the maker, and that he doesn't consider his work done until your bass has reached its full potential.
