I thought there was too much going on on Bristol last night, but we had a good turnout at JRBs. Plus free booze! Score!

Picked up my Rogue VB100 after it has been sitting at Guitar Center for a month to get a setup. The tech put on some Rotosound rounds and when I played it through the Mesa Walkabout and Fender Rumble 75 they had out, it sounded unbelievable!! I've never paid attention to the tones you get from your amp, but damn I was in love! The Mesa had the best tone out of both! I'm glad I converted from flats to rounds...

I just looked in the case for my Rogue, and I noticed that the tech saved my old D'Addario Tapewounds and there were these flatwounds I didn't remember buying. I guess when I asked for Rotosound bass strings, they got me the short-scale flats instead of the rounds I wanted! So the Rogue is strung with DR rounds and I have two spare sets of strings! This was awesome and funny at the same time lol...

Nothing for me, but me and my band are trying to plan this fundraiser/concert to support the local music and give all the money we can make to a fundraiser like Save The Music. We have a lot of work to do, but we're trying to make it happen!

I've been off for a few weeks. Back in full swing starting 6/23 at Ladder 133, 6/28 Newport Blues Cafe, 6/29 Gillarys, 6/30 The Beach House

Does anyone know where I can go to have a P bass completely rewired (don't ask why, long story)? I usually set up all my basses, but I know nothing about soldering.

I prefer not to go to Noll Guitars because last time they put a dent in my vintage PRS guitar and then tried to claim it was already there. In the end, they admitted it was their fault and repaired it. I later befriended the guy who worked on it and he confessed to me that he had a drinking problem at the time and was drunk the day he worked on it.

Cost is not an issue because the previous owner agreed to pay for the repair.

Try Becker guitars in Attleboro. They do awesome work. Here's the number (508) 222-9800
