I played bass for a while when saxes were out of fashion during the psychedelic era. For years before that I doubled on it, using the bass players bass while he played guitar on those songs that just didn't have room for a sax.

So: I am by no means an expert bass player, and not a soloist. Just a rock steady "get in the groove with the drummer" bassist.

I preferred flat wounds on a P bass, and I liked them best when they lost their new sparkle.

On the other hand, I love new strings on my guitar, for that sparkle.

Of course, there is more than one right way to play music.
