Verrrrrry nice, Herr Doktor Happy.
Speaking of looking sharp, I grabbed a set of LaBella medium scale 60-115 black nylon tapes to try on the M-85. They sure do look snazzy on this bass - even the sky-blue silks match the Acoustic 370 amp! That said, I loved the white nylon tapes of the same gauges on this bass, so I wanted to A/B the sets. So far so good... difficult to say which sound
better, but these are a tad warmer sounding and a little bit lower tension. So far I dig them enough to leave them on, but will keep the white tapes around just in case I want to swap back at some point... or maybe the real solution here is adopting another vintage M-85 bass so I can have one with each set ready to go?
