I know it's supposed to be a hot pinkish Tat, but I like to think of it as bacon colored. If only they could work in the aroma!

Can't wait to hear that puppy when it's done

that is shaping up to be an incredible bass.

2:30 a.m. ET but still wide up after playing a gig that went until midnight or so, then hung out after. Went well and the venue was very happy with the crowd. (We do have a following of sorts - enough to pack this relatively small place.)

Played the Lak 5 all night except for my three or so mandolin tunes - really like the Lak 5, it fits very well with the band's material and it's like butter to play.

So glad you are happy w your Lakland C3. I enjoyed the ones I played at NAMM. How's the 35" scale treating you? Are you noticing it much? I didn't notice it on most of my basses except my modulus Q6. That was the only one that felt like a bit of a stretch.

I like the 35" scale. Not that bass guitar and upright are that comparable, but I'm used to a 41" or 42" scale on the upright so the 35" feels pretty natural and I like the feel on the B string much better. I do feel a stretch if I'm playing on the first 3 or 4 frets. But the tradeoff is that, with a better B string, I'm using the first 3 or 4 frets less and playing up the neck more.

I was asked to repost this pic as a time reference to the music (circa 1973) I shared last week with those who wished hear it...so here is a reprise of "Hillbilly Harman". edit: Incidentally, this photo was not staged; I lived in that cabin for two years prior to moving to another one deeper in the woods and these were my daily work duds.

bass player in the Super Bowl halftime show last night was a chick with bass, EBMM of some kind with white neon strings ...



I didn't see the show (or very much of the Super Bowl) but it's discussed on the TB "Basses" page.

I've never caught myself staring at wood so intently before.

As far as knobbies I'd just it's the standard 3 band, concentric bass and treble would be my guess, volume, pickup pan, maybe active passive on the switch? or a mid shift?

So..we had a band rehearsal last Friday. We usually throw in some fun improv jams, and this one was no exception. I started doing a little slap/pop riff..and this is what came about from it. I hope no-one is offended by it (other than the clipping)
