They have arrived!!!! got in at 8:45 and there they were. Wifey was amazed at Black Nylon Strings. I had black nylon strings in 1968 on a Jazz that I bought brand new for $220.00. I bought them when I bought the bass because Mel Schacher of Grand Funk used them.

Thank you Mr. Nylon, I appreciate your generosity. The bidding war is getting heated. The latest offer was $561,400.

I closed the auction because they are going on the fretless Jazz.

What is money compared to the generosity of a friend?

Good. I'm glad you got them before Thanksgiving. I hope you like them on your fretless.

A bit of a difference from the Nylon Tapewounds from 1968-1969 that I used too. No more soft sponge like strings.

I already called the insurance company to UP the insurance on the bass. They directed me to LLoyds of London when I told them what I had.

Thanks Glenn, you're very generous. Actually, I'm thinking of going with Rotosound 66's. Yeak I know it may tear up the fretboard but I think I may chance it,


You only live once. Go for it. You could always have it epoxied. Or just get a new neck when that one looks like a driveway. It would take a couple years I imagine. :D

I keep hearing of all the terrible damage to frets and necks that strings cause. I've never had any excessive wear.

As I mentioned earlier, the black nylons are going on the fretless.

At present, it's 4:20 AM, if I didn't have to go to work, I'd put them on today.

I've had two five strings, really don't care for them, but that's me.
