I play an epi allen woody&have been using the p'ups for a thumb rest,but don't want to rub the gold finish off. The bass has neck&middle(8" from bridge) p'ups. Does anyone make a nice looking wood thumb rest? This bass has a gorgeous burgundy stain&I don't really wanna put a plastic thumb rest...

What are the prices like on those? Are they american? Where did you see 'em?

EricF -I downloaded your meh pie chart to teach to my niece&nephews in high school math!

Thank you all bigbig. I can actually see myself legally changing my name to "meh". This lil word says so much...

Hey ya'll-billy57 from the great volunteer state of tn-noob both to bass&tb,I notice the word "MEH" poppin up quite a bit. I gather it has a negative connotation,but what? Is it a code like a secret handshake?(chuckle here). Is it an acronym? It's drivin me crazy,which is a VERY short drive...

Just put roto tapes on my epi allen woody yesterday&they sound great! Good fundamental/low mids-high mids,very little treble. However,the E string sounds a little "woofy" compared to the others,&I noticed about about 1/8" of the silk breaks across the bridge saddle. Is it possible to shave the...

Is this p'up attched to it's cover? Could I drop it into an epi allen woody sig using the original gold cover?

Stacatto-what a brilliant piece of advice! I confess to being a slow starter on bass. After drumming for 40 yrs (30 as a pro) I ASSumed I would be a natural at bass. +I spent all my yrs in school playing brass-treble clef,so bass clef confounds me&I sound it out by ear. I'll commit to your...

I've been playin drums for 40 yrs&played w/a few less than stellar bassists. However,since I'm now mostly retired from drumming and new to bass (epi allen woody sig) I intend to give it all the love & passion I ever gave drums.

Big daddy-thank you, b-day was fri 13th. Fwiw,I was born on fri 13th @ 1:13 pm. 13th min of the 13th hr on fri 13th. My driver licence #ends in 13. My work truck is #13,& I probly have 13 brain cells left. Should I play a 13 string bass?

A forum with 1000's of members worldwide,I've only been a member for a couple of months,and tb sent me a birthday greeting telling me that exposure to low frequencies keeps my skin young! LMAO!! What an awesome fraternity to be a part of. I have found a musical home here. Thank you from the...

I think there's a reason the great allen woody chose epiphone to build his sig bass. An open-minded spirit of innovation w/a true RESPECT for the heritage of our instrument. Not just rehashing a hodgepodge of old parts&paint,then pricing it out of reach for those of us in the trenches who make...

Thank you david-maybe it's because I'm on a phone instead of a computer,but there's not a "contact us " @ the bottom of my pages. There's - forums,current,msgs,subscribed,profile,search,&online. Tried going back to a g-mail about my password from this A.M. but no helpdesk there either.I really...

Somehow I have ended up w/ two user names on tb, gimme4 & billy57. I'm trying to just be gimme4 cause I have many more posts,threads,subscriptions,& pm's under that user name. I think this happened when I once forgot my password. Now I can't even access my profile or useage history as gimme4...
