“the dirt keeps the funk!” (george porter jr.)
Wasn´t that a quotation by James Jamerson?
but James Jamerson played flats, not roundwounds ;)
That´s true. As far as I know, he refered to the whole Bass…
I thought it was “the funk is in the funk”…

Yeah Jamerson was refering to the entire bass, not only the strings. His P-bass was filthy and he didn’t change strings until they broke even if they could barely hold a tune, but hey, possibly the best bass player ever.
If it means fewer string changes, it could eventually pay for itself.
I look forward to trying it out.
Very interesting!
I have a guitar version, too hard(too tight ) to clean higher frets up the neck. A $2 cloth does it better.
used to play with a guitar player that had one. these have actually been out for a while. seems legit.
Cute gadget… but my Guinness bar towel does the job just fine, and is easy to use on the bandstand in between tunes.
Am I the only one who’s boiled dull-sounding bass strings to regain some of the brightness & sparkle? Maybe that’s just a prudent Scottish trait :)

Oh No….making the string soup is a common recipe here in Denmark as well
i soak them in 100% isopropyl. for my money, the less water chilling in your strings, the better.
