ha, my first..and probably only, thread in the gearhead section. :p

anyhoo...my husband is a bass player, and he has asked me if i knew what type/brand of strings jeff uses. he thought he read somewhere that he uses ernie ball strings.....i went to the 10C site b/c i thought there used to be a section discussion their gear?....but can't seem to find it?


if someone would be so kind to point out where i can access such info, and/or also post the answer to my query, i'd be appreciative. thanks. :)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    duh. :o
    i seriously did not even notice that sticky. :p i merely went to the pearljam.com site, and when i did not find what i wanted, i started the thread here w/o looking.

    interesting. so mr. dream, totally off. never used ernie ball strings ever.



    cjb - thanks for that. :)

    its so sad that here in little Gibraltar (europe) you cant find any of the gear that pearl jam use, well maybe you could order it from abroad but it would cost a load more and would take ages, this sucks...

    i play both guitar and bass and i am lead singer in a band and i found that stuff like guitar and bass strings here are extremely expensive so i went to spain to buy em and found that theyre quite rubbish there...

    im gonna kill someone...just kidding lol

    indeed it does....and my husband is not. :p haha. everyone has their preferences. i appreciate the input though, b/c he was curious to know. actually, he has an old issue of bass player magazine with a jeff interview from a few years ago...i am SURE they would've listed his gear and strings, etc. eh, perhaps he wanted more current info...and/or just too lazy to dig up the magazine. :p
