Taky nemám rád zvuk novekch strun, když se trochu ohrajou, je to lepší... navíc cinkající struny v kombinaci s javorovým hmatníkem, to je tak strašnej příval středů a vejšek, že se to nedá.
Hele, Kubši, co jsem ale poslouchal ty vaše empétrojky, tak to zní jako úplně čerstvý struny, ne? Taková zvonivka cinkavá... :-)
Znáte někdo amerického (už mtrvého) baskytaristu Jamese Jamersona? Ten struny neměnil skoro vůbec a navíc svou basu nikdy nečistil ani neotíral... v té špíně a potu se podle jeho slov skrývala to pravé "tajemství funku". Jeho kultovní nástroj, Precision Bass z roku 1962 zmizel a dodnes se prý nenašel...

James Jamerson's "Funk Machine"
Jamerson was a big player in the session world. Between 1963-68, he played on a great deal of hit singles by Motown's finest, including Marvin Gaye, The Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, The Isley Brothers, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, the Four Tops and Jimmy Ruffin.
His instrument of choice throughout his career was a 1962 Fender® P-Bass® with a sunburst finish. On the heel of the bass's neck, Jamerson had carved the word "funk" into the wood, and the guitar that produced more hits than any other in history was officially dubbed the "Funk Machine." To most other musicians, that bass was unplayable. Jamerson kept his action very high, and his neck was bowed due to lack of truss rod maintenance. He rarely cleaned his guitar, and he never cleaned the fretboard. To Jamerson, the sweat and dirt on the bass was the secret of his sound, the essence of the funk.
His nickname among his friend was "The Hook" because of his distinct and inimitable two-fingered playing style.
Just days before Jamerson died in 1983, the Funk Machine was stolen from his house. To this day, it still has not resurfaced. There are stories of bassists who stumble across a '62 P-Bass in pawn shops who then take them home and unscrew the neck plate, hoping to find the word "funk." It's become a legend - the holy grail of all basses.
