Happy Birthday (July 17) to the great man that with his mates from Birmingham invented heavy metal and adorned it with occult aesthetic.

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).
