1) What strings do I want/need for a 2024 Masterbuilt Streamer? 2) What do I clean a flat or satin finish with?

I volunteer at church three days a week fixing this and that. Just something to keep me busy in retirement. I also play bass regularly and guitar infrequently. Seems like I'm there all the time. You have to watch out though. The church has a tendency to overcommit volunteers. At least...

I'm amazed!! After one of the songs we were rehearsing, the WL turned around and said "that's the one". That bass is the best one you have ever brought, worth every penny. I paused and took a picture of where I had the controls set so I can go back to there on Sunday. I thought I would get a...

I picked up a nice Warwick Masterbuilt Streamer Stage One a few days ago. It's a new 2024 model so I was a little surprised to find that the original owner swapped out the MEC pickups with a pair of EMG Geezer PJs. Sounds good with them though. I'm wondering how they will sound in the mix...

I'm in hopes of picking up a Warwick Masterbuilt Streamer Stage 1 today. It's costing me one of my Mike Lull M5s, the 35 inch tobacco burst in trade. I'm excited to see how it Worships! I'll keep you guys posted.

What Warwick model would give me the most bang for my buck. Meaning the full Warwick experience for the least amount of money. I want to try a Warwick but I need another bass like I need another hole in my head.

I gifted my first Spector Euro LX 4 to the other bassist on our Praise Team at church. He normally rocks a 5 String Ibanez so I gave him some advice on restringing it and tuning to BEAD so he has the best part of a 5 string along with the Spector tone I love so much. Anyone ever tune a Spector...

Happy new gear day!!

Here's some pictures of my Camp Kid Zone (VBS) office space. The first picture is pre practice with the Status Graphite and Behringer Poly D ready for action. The second pic is getting ready to let the kids in for some loud noise. Them mostly but we matched their enthusiasm with our own...

If you do go for new strings, try DR High Beams. I love them.

Got to the church at 08:30 this morning. Didn't leave till 3:00 PM. We had our rehearsal for VBS after the service today. Played the Poly D synth on several songs. Played the Status Graphite with lights on the fret(less) board for the rest. They were a hit at rehearsal. I hope the kids...

By the time you add a volume pedal to the QC doesn't it end up as big as the LT?

The thought that I could control my tone has vanished, over many years, with FOH having the final say. So... Bass that I think supports the setlist, Line 6 Helix LT w/ all the effects I could ever need, straight to FOH. Whichever option that was. I add effects/pre amps/cabs/etc through my...

First Friday pic. Oh what I'd give for a Bahama Blue Euro LX
