    Come On Fender!

    If they roll the edges like Sire/Marcus Miller, then I'm in.

    Different fingers = different tones, please help.

    I play with finger flesh or I curve them a little and use nails. The difference is even more pronounced when you use a bit of a nail. I try to file my nails in such a way where they sound as even as I can. Sometimes a different sounds can be to your advantage. The same holds true with the...

    If the NASA takes you to some asteroid, and say "You can only take 20 pounds with you…"

    The lightest Paulina bass ever, with the balance in grass. How long am I going to be sitting on this rock all alone?

    Speaking of bridges, has anyone installed a drop-In style bridge on any of their sire basis?

    Fender Precision Lyte

    I had one of those and I didn't like it because it was covered in a thick layer of plastic. Nice and light though, I'll give it that.

    Is it safe to say country has become a shot of adrenaline for rock?

    A rock rhythm section underneath the music makes it very rockish and therefore not country. And if that's the case I don't want watered down rock and roll I'll just take rock and roll.

    Sire Bass Club!

    Has anyone swapped out the pickups on the P5? I have Geezers on a Fender Japan nitro P bass that I purchased from the TB classifieds and I think they sound great. I just did a quick search and I don't think they make Geezers for five strings? What pickups have you put in the P5?

    Have you ever tuned AEADG?

    I did this years ago because I didn't like the keys going a full step lower than me.

    Anyone else cross the 5 string rubicon?

    Love the 4s, but when playing along with the "radio" (streaming service), there are just too many tunes below E or even D. The only thing is all my cool nitro basses are 4s. Poly isn't bad, but I'd love to have some nitro 5ers.

    BOSS ME 90B

    I have one of these but I haven't had that much time to spend with it lately. I did hook up my Boss WazaCraft wireless headphones because I can not blast my 800 watt amp where I'm living now.

    Sire Bass Club!

    My sire 5-string P came in today and I'm quite pleased. The wood matches up well as I can barely see the line and it comes in at 9 pounds. And a shout out to Zzounds.com because I asked him for a light one and I think they might have checked because the inner box was opened. I also have an...
