Djordje’s setup on atmonic boogie video

I use Thomastik Spirocore Orchestra strings for almosr 20 years now. Those are Medium tension, not Light.

The bass is just cheap Chinese bass that I bought straight from the factory. I moved the bridge and soundpost a little bit, put new strings and that’s it. It has never been to luthier and I still use it for almost all my US shows, which is about 200 or so per year, recorded 5 albums with it etc.

Hope this helps!

yeah, i can assure you those are not low tension strings- i take lessons from the dude (what up djordje!) and felt like a huge pansy trying to play that crazy thing at first and i’ve been an industrial electromechanic for about a decade and have pretty strong hands..
its actually hilarious how gnarly that bass is- the fingerboard is all channelled and grooved out and theres a section of winding gone from the E and the core is all showing through.

funny part is the guy makes the thing sound like a friggin museum piece- checked out a pick up jazz gig he had after a lesson one night, straight up acoustic and no percussion and he proceeds to burn the place down..at an italian restaurant no less..doing all kinds of crazy improvised slap and pizzicato soloing and not a sour note or buzz out of the thing..and here i can barely even run through scales on the thing without it buzzing like a wasp nest..

was a valuable lesson in the ‘it’s the player, not the instrument’ chapter..
