Back in the day it used to be a 6-pack and a Xanax... Thank God those days are over!

Ditto to that, Todd and his videos are awesome! I have learned quite a lot from Mr. Hamby, although he doesn't know it... Well maybe now he does lol

Don't know if this was mentioned but have you tried a 30" or 32" scale, it's made a world of difference for me...

Go to Norms and get the best all original P or J bass that spoke to me! Besides having a great player it would be a solid investment!

Most definitely... Back in the early eighties I was gifted a 1976 Gibson ripper all original... Me being the heavy metal punk that I was I immediately ripped out the original electronics and put in custom active EMG's. The worst part of it is when the luthier asked me if I wanted the old parts...

30 year closet musician with a past history of gigging but doing nothing for the last 20 years but bedroom concerts...Own a few "cheap" basses that I love... Also have a 1976 Gibson ripper since high school.... One day I saw an absolutely gorgeous Carvin Exotic wood, set neck, cool inlays...

B is the 62

Picked one up in a pawn shop for 3 beans a while ago...looks good, sounds good, balances nicely, has good fit and finish...I Cant I get used to the thin neck or tight string spacing no matter how hard I try... I want to love her but its not happening...

You and me both pal I have my1976 Ripper since high school in 1978. I love it to death and ultimately will be buried with it... I just wished that my heavy metal adicted younger self didn't rip out the original electronics and have active EMG's put in! That wouldn't be so bad except I told...

I agree and now after the pages and pages of responses I realize I should have worded the entire thing a different way. I totally respect Jim and his craft. I am a first-time poster, I'm not a professional musician and this is not about money. I could buy 20 of those cabinets if I wanted to...

At this point I'm wired straight from the jack to speaker, its not the wiring...

Haha! :smug::woot:;):roflmao:

No problem Jim, and I made my brother put it in his will!

Two brand-new speakers did the same thing... first the 500 watt 4 ohm and then the 250 watt 8 ohm
