gutless

[alocispepraluger102]

when did bass players start switching to steel strings. any bass players still have 'guts?'

[Alexander Hawkins]

Can't remember who it was now...a bass player I was on a gig with was talking about how gut was tricky to get, and didn't wear as well, but that he sometimes used it when recording...damn, I just can't remember who!

not sure, but it was about when the cat population began to increase exponentially -

A bassist friend of mine uses gut strings much of the time.

This is sort of an interesting explanation of the catgut manufacturing process.
