I was thinking you either need a roof rack, or one of those trailers people connect to a bicycle to tow kids or stuff. :) So, I guess you don’t play walking bass lines? Rolling bass lines? ;)

You should probably just sell it off dirt cheap as a broken bass and buy a new one. 25 years is a long time. No one will probably want it though… shoot, I’m feeling generous, I’ll take it off your hands for a few hundred bucks. :) (She’s a beaut! Hopefully the shop is able to solve the issue.)

Love Atomic Music!! Used to be my favorite to swing by every few months and see all the new (used) stuff they got in. Did you buy that amp for $150?!! Or was it $150 cash on top of what you traded in? I have one of these I got in partial trade. The led lights behind the tubes look cool...

I’ve done the “lug 100+ pound cabinets up/down stairs before/after gigs” and it was exhausting but I loved the sound of my rig. Since my back surgery however, my heavy cabs stay put in my house (2nd floor). I have a Genzler 2x12 that is a manageable 45 pounds or so. We’re lucky to live in a...

I’ve seen videos of this. Looks great - I just wonder how heavy the final guitar is. Keep us posted. Take pics and video!

Oh, and I’ll throw in a USA Lakland and a Roscoe for your enjoyment:

Ok, I’ll play. All three flavors offered of the Roland G-707:

Advise to use caution with the bass at college. Depending on the dorm setup, roommate(s) situation, and how many people are in/out of the room daily. Back in the dinosaur times, the bathroom was down the hall and we left the room unlocked when going to the bathroom or shower or even to ask the...

You’d really need to play it first to see and then maybe sleep on it. If the guy is willing to do trade + cash, I’d be suspicious - though I do stuff like that all the time, especially if I’m not attached to the bass and this would give me another fun bass to play plus cash in my pocket. So it...

I tried editing one in their builder, but I didn’t see any way to order it as a headless. Not that I’m in the market for a $2-3k bass anyways. Looks cool though.

Telling you to walk in a random house - nope! I’ve gone to seller’s homes and texted “I’m here.” and some have said “come on in, I’m in the basement” or whatever, and I reply “I’ll wait in the driveway.” In each case they were home and it was their house - just no way I was going to walk in a...

I use a drum throne in my music room/office for practing, though I also have an office chair at my desk that the faux leather is causing a real mess. I’m currently shopping for an armless office chair. Amazon has a bunch for around or under $100. Marketplace has used chairs for $10-50. They...

I usually play Fenders (or Fender style basses), not “only”. But most of my basses have a pickup in the middle area (P bass, 44-01, etc) that I anchor off. Also, this thread is 11 years old. I bought the Zero Mod for the Stingray, and it worked great. I sold the bass to a friend many years ago.

I ordered 2 of the guitar version a few weeks ago. Saw they had the bass version 3 (?) days ago and slept on it. The guitar ones I got are VERY nice. I have some quality bass gig bags, but nothing with this much “structure” to it. It’s practically a hard case - but lighter, and you can wear it...

Oof - gut punch. I sold this bass to a friend in 2019 and have been trying to buy it back ever since! I ended up buying the thumb rest that screws on using the factory pickguard screw locations - so no new holes. It was black and blended in nicely too. Worked great. I can use a floating...
