    by the way…what kind of strings do you use with your king bass?

    i just got a king with gut D&G with silver slap E&A…think i might change the silver slaps though….not liking them too much

    Hey Benwardo … I went to Sudbury once, to meet a guy at the University who does weird things with your brain. Micheal Persinger. He’s always doing stuff on telly with a motorcycle helmet that zaps your brain with magnets.
    Sudbury … nice place I remember. Ahem. Maybe I didn’t see the best bits!

    silver slaps are good. i used psychoslaps on the album and still use them except i now have them bumped and am using a gut string for the g cause it was the only suitable one i had lying around.

    Hey! Canadian Slapper here, I’m from Antioch California but I now live in Ontario Canada! My band is called the Quick Shifters. Check us out sometime if you’re ever in Peterborough.

    http://www.myspace.com/thequickshifters for dates!

    I’ll repost once I have some music up but for now there’s just a couple youtube vids of very low quality, and was when I first got my upright and started the band.

    I stumbled upon this website when searching for answers to the King Double Bass Mystery (to me it was a mystery) and now I’ve joined and it’s the first and only site I’ve become a member of for forum purposes. I’m looking forward to sharing everything I know about upright bass with you.

    There’s a lot of slapper on doublebasschat.com, an other upright bass forum.

    If you need a band to play with, check us out at http://www.myspace.com/rockabillyrulesband

    We’re mostly doing some covers, all in a Stray Cat style.
