    can the sandberg florence compete with a precision?

    I’d take any Sandberg over the best Fender can offer. The build quality and tone are leagues better

    I touched a Sadowsky Metroline Limited (2022, Germany) today, now I want one [NOW WITH VIDEOS]

    That's hot. J/MM has become my favorite configuration.

    What attracts you to vintage Japanese basses?

    They're built rock solid and play amazing while being a fraction the cost of US-made equivalents. My next bass will be a FGN JMJ2 and I just know it will shame every other J bass out there.

    So . . . What color is this bass?

    It looks like a very sunbaked version of sherwood green: https://www.leitzmusic.com/shop/Instruments/p/Fender-Custom-Shop-1957-Stratocaster-Heavy-Relic---Aged-Sherwood-Green.htm

    Talkbass feels like such a dude party lately

    IME it's always been an overwhelmingly male place, especially as traditional forums are starting to see less activity. There are way more women posting on Reddit, Discord, etc.

    starting a pedal board

    All you really need is a tuner and MAYBE a preamp if your bass/amp’s isn’t up to task. Anything beyond that is completely up to you

    Amp recommendations

    Fender Tumble or Ampeg RB210. Try both and go with whichever you like better

    Basses that fit a specific set of criteria - c'mon fellow gearheads, point me to things to keep an eye peeled for

    Warmoth parts bass. You’ll miss the radius but imo that’s a small price to pay. You can only select standard J size width but if you ask for P width they’ll do it

    Josh has a few thoughts about AI…

    We’re essentially in stagflation and AI failing would push the US into a depression while triggering another global recession. And that’s the best case scenario. The AI corps are only held up by speculative growth that is overshadowed by their insane debt

    Josh has a few thoughts about AI…

    I have been extremely vocal about my skepticism and distrust of AI, both in personal and corporate settings. My company’s solution was to promote me to a strategy position to act as a devils advocate and counter to the hype. These people are shoving it down or throats whether we want it or not...

    Fender American Vintage II Precision vs Fender American Profesional II Precision

    Having played both, I very much prefer the ergonomics and sound out of the Pro 2, especially the neck feel. That being said, I passed on it to instead snag an American Performer PJ body and slapped a Warmoth neck on it.
