Hopefully they, the strings, will stay in tune once they break in.
The first bass I had was rented from a teacher that I was taking lessons from. Right from the beginning, I wanted to learn how to slap and the bass I was using had Velvet Animas on it, a metal string. At first I was having a hard time slapping. It felt too hard and I was very fearful of hurting or breaking his bass. So I went and bought my own bass and had Innovation Super Silvers put on it. While I was deciding which bass to buy and then waiting to have it set up, I started to get a little brave with ‘his’ bass and I began slapping harder and snapping the strings more. I think I could have gotten better at slapping with the Velvets is all I”m saying.
The bass sounds like a nice looking bass. I’d like to see it. can we post pics here?
my next step is getting a pick up to install.
