弦の張り替え！ restringing my bass!

(English below)

時間があまりなかったり、気分の関係で実は１年ぐらい弦の交換をしていなかった自分。。。

いや、、、本当にグズグズしてたわけじゃなくて、音の関係もあって弦を変えていなかった。

しかし！！音がどうしても最近飽きてきて、しかも音の伸びも少なくなってどうしても変える事が必要だと。

今回は R.COCCOの125がlow-bの今よりも少し太い弦に変えてみた。

今回は間違ってステンレスの弦を買ってしまった、笑

でもまぁ、いいでしょ。これもなんかの縁だ！

最初は弦の音が凄いギラギラして昔は苦手だったけど、今回は結構この音が好きだと気づいて、もしかしたら次回の交換はもっと早いかも知れないな。

 

先日のセットリストで Realizeを演奏したときもなんか音の明るさが足りなくて

Unfortunately I haven't changed bass strings for a real… real long time!!!!

If I remember correctly it might actually be a year or something since I last changed strings.
I'm not being lazy or anything, it's just that I actually like the dull and sustain-less sounds of the old bass strings. Well after doing a show the other day and just feeling like the strings were "dead" I just had to change the strings.

The more soloing that I do the more that I feel that the strings really need to have a brighter feel and sustain.

It might me the sustain that bothers me the most, when I want my notes to sing, especially when doing solos.

This time I decided to use R.COCCO strings 125 on the low-b. They are a bit thicker than the strings I usually use, but I'm really

happy with the quality of this brand so although I bought stainless steel strings by mistake, they'll do good!

I guess this must be some kind of message for me to try these strings out.
