    What do I put here?

    A small box containing what's left of your sanity. Or your dignity (you are a bass player, after all). Come to think of it, there's probably room for both. 🤔 😁

    I Discovered An Exciting New Musical Genre!

    You're just finding out about this stuff now?!? All the cool guys have been hip to this stuff for years! We were into it way before it got popular. You need to do some more research. Make me a sammitch while you're at it.

    Need help finding my dads old bass.

    I would love for one of my sons to gift me one of my old basses...especially if it was one of the Alembics, or checkerboard Rick's that were stolen from me in the 70's and 80's.

    JPJ 1969 Individual string foam.

    In the early 60's, Conrad (Japanese) made a hollow body bass that had a flip on/off mute system. You could set it a varying pressures for different effects, however, the pressure was the same for all 4 strings unless you shaved the foam/rubber blocks. Google Image Result for...

    Brooks EXB-4-SA. Semi-hollow Explorer

    Awww, that's some alien measurement system for interplanetary travel. 👽 What does that equal....6.3 to the 17th power in quarks? Please...avoirdupois weight. You know...pounds and ounces. In this case Troy ounces may be more appropriate. Again, very, very nice work. :thumbsup:

    New Mesa Boogie TT-800 amp and Subway 115. Excited but can't for the life of me get sound to come out of the cab!

    He'll, just stab a 1/4" cable into the cab and touch a 9v battery to it, + to tip, - to sleeve. You should hear a click, and at least know the cab is semi-functional.

    1978 Kavkaz Bas Restore

    Looks like a fun project. However, the internals seem suspiciously full of Kalishnikov and Sukoi parts.

    Information on very early SWR Redhead amps wanted.

    In '87, '88, and '89, I did FOH for a dozen, or so, "Southern Rock" festivals These were all day outdoor affairs with a rotating cast of bands (Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker Band, .38 Special, Charlie Daniel's, Blackfoot, etc....you get the idea) at venues holding 12 to 25k. I...

    Band Name Question

    50 years ago someone should have told this to Fender. :meh: Or Maybe you're the one who did! :whistle: I guess it worked out OK in the end, but I bet there was a period of time where Fender wished they spelled their name R I C K E N B A C K E R.

    That, right there, could be a great band name...."The Spanish Translation".

    Need to bounce some house rules off you folks.

    All seems reasonable and concisely expressed (the chat gpt version)...don't forget to mention "this venue operates in compliance with all local noise ordinances" (whether there are any, or not), and the first rule should be "We provide this equipment for our partners who can follow the...
