#bass strings

Tiny Terzo has decided to roost with my Ibanez.

Hey, Terz? I’m gonna need that to practice with soon, buddy. I need to make sure the new strings are still in tune.

Tiny Terzo guards my bass. Meanwhile, another bass gets new strings.

Tiny Terzo was an eBay find that arrived today. He’s adorable. I have him standing guard on my Sterling for scale.

My Ibanez had to have a restring today. I was curious about the half round strings. They’re interesting. Kinda feel like flat wounds but have more finger drag to them. D’Addario is the only brand I could find that carries them so this is my first set of non-Ernie Ball strings. That probably also accounts for the strange feel.

I did notice there are some marks that have formed on the fretboard. Granted, they were probably there a year ago when I bought this bass. It’s a 39 year old instrument so it’s bound to have some wear here and there. I know I’ll need to bite the bullet and re-fret the neck, but I need to do a few others before tackling this one.

Yes, I am crazy enough to attempt a fret replacement. Why not? I already rebuilt a bass (future post).

Hey, partner, won't you pass that reefer 'round? My world is spinning, yeah Just got to slow it down Ohhh… yes, you know I've sure got to slow it down

Get so high this time that, no, oh, I'll Never come down I'll never come down

I believe I'll go out to the seashore Let the waves wash my mind Open up my head now Just to see what I can find Ohhh... yes, you know I'm gonna see what I can find

Just one more trip now And know I'll stay high all the time All the time

Yes, I'll go out to the desert Just to try and find my past Truth lives all around me But it's just beyond my grasp Ohhh... yes, you know it's just beyond my grasp

I'll let the sand and the stars as the wind Carry me back Oh... carry me back
