thomastik-infeld strings...

I still haven't given up on the dream of a piccolo bass getting used as a normal bass in a band setting, but, I need my fretted Warwick, dangit.

With the fretless, I am less busy and play a more subdued low end.  I suppose that is better for the band as a whole.  However, I do enjoy the freedom frets bring and my hands have a mind of their own when I pick up the Warwick.  And as I play for my own pleasure first and foremost, its time to get back to why I picked up the bass in the first place.  Err, make that the second reason.  I don't think "chics, man" would go over to well - especially with the wife.

So, I have ordered some flat wound strings for the Warwick.  After a few google searches, I ended up picking Thomastik-Infeld JF345.

My main intent for flat wound is to remove the metallic sounding tone I get with the Warwick when using round wound strings.  I want a more woody, organic, warmer - tone.

After a gig or two, I'll reply back with a review of the strings.

What this means, of course, is I need another bass :).  A third bass I can string with piccolo strings.  Maybe a short scale bass?  Umm, interesting.
