I guess 70 bucks every four years isn't too bad. However, Matt's the
most anal bass player you'll find.
But, I do hear where your comming from Phil. I think Pyramids sound
best on the guitar as well as bass, but I kept wearing the G strings
out fast and had to switch over to a stainless flat brand. $23.00
for strings every 3 months was outta my price range!
Looking foward to seeing you guys on the 7th!
