    I Love Stingrays, but $7,000?

    No, it’s poplar wood I could’ve purchased an authentic 1978 stingray for around 4500 a few weeks ago But 7k for a reissue..? ...and Made of poplar wood? I do hope ALL the proceeds really go to this foundation because that would really be f’d up!

    Is it ok to quit over text message?

    I agree with a lot of these suggestions, however, if it were me, I would speak to the leader(s) first since as you mention “they’ve been good to you-guys during this pandemic”, and let them know you’re working on an original project and plan to pursue it full time in the new year, but you will...

    soooo...now the BL wants us to wear matching t-shirts with the band logo

    Sounds to me like a Pat Benatar/Neil Geraldo type situation, You say they are the band leaders, and they make all the decisions, as most BL’s should do in THEIR band. You say you’ve survived 3.5years whilst witnessing others perish for going against the establishment and voicing their...

    Should I trade an American standard p bass for a 1983 Squier p bass?

    Thats a good point, There is a lot of different hardware out there, me personally I am a Leo Quan guy so i am speaking from that point of view in the end, as you said, if this bass has a good neck and sound and it excites the player to want to practice, that’s reason enough my main bass is...

    Owning 5+ basses is like owning a dog

    I had about 11 at one time in my life, I felt bad cuz I didn’t play them all, I was touring a lot, and didn’t want to have them all out there with me for various reasons. Strings were never really an issue for me, since I would replace them as needed. Some were old collectors too 73 P-Bass...

    Is my friend a bad person?

    @MacoMan, First, if you stash money from your gigs, and can afford another bass, it’s your call. But why be deceiving? You told your wife you were going to have a repair done on one of your basses. - You purposely carried out an EMPTY case, which only tells me you were up to something sneaky...

    What is the best bass Leo ever made?

    I believe the best he made would be whatever feels, sounds & plays best in your hands - Let’s remember, Leo and whatever partner he had at any given time designed them, but I’m pretty sure he actually only built a handful of them I think the P-bass, the stingray and L1k were all similar in that...

    Best bass purchase of 2019?

    My best 2019 purchase is this 1960’s ri jazz bass, This looks just like the jazz bass my grandfather bought for my dad back in 1959 when he was first learning the bass - Unfortunately that bass was stolen back in 1969
