Gut strings Rock!!

[Arnold Schnitzer]

Carlito, you play the crap out of the bass! But I hope you are not saying in your opening of this thread that everyone should play gut strings. There are many great bassists whose sound is a steel-string sound, and fantastic. Dave Holland, Peter Washington, Michael Moore, John Clayton, just to name a few. I dig gut strings too, though I don't personally care for the sonority or feel of round-wound A and E strings. Something about the overtones bugs me. I used to play Golden Spiral G and D with steel A and E, and it worked pretty well for me.

Anyway, thanks for classing up this place, and keep playing great music!
