Hey man! Thanks! It's a 33" scale. Reaaalllly loving this thing!

Those are D’Addarios. I’m not sure they are meant to be snipped either and was worried about them unraveling. I threw a pair of nickel strings in my gig bag just in case but 2 months in and they’re fine!

@@DamianErskineBass great to know thank you!!

I’ve always played either a 4 or a 6 but a 6 just doesn’t feel right to me in certain contexts. I actually prefer the way I tend to play on a 4 but, especially for funk, soul, etc.. I really miss that lower register. A 5 seemed like the best of both worlds (and it turns out that I really do prefer a 5 for many things). Feels more like a 4 to me but with that lower register. I kinda fell in love with this thing. I haven’t played any of my other basses since!

Those tape wounds only come in one size and, yeah... I think they are 30-130..? :) I usually use medium light strings (nickel), when I'm not using the tape-wounds

I’ve never made videos all that consistently and honestly, I’ve just been way too busy this summer. I’ll likely get back to it this winter when the gigs slow down a bit.
