    Leland Sklar has a switch on his bass that does nothing called the "producer switch"...

    [Chavez was able to close in on the Sergeant Major by using a cheeseburger wrapper as a decoy] Sergeant Major: Soldier, how did you get that close to me? Chavez: Sniper approached the instructor by being a sneaky bastard, Sergeant Major! Captain Ramirez: Do you know the fine for littering in the...

    Well, there went an hour...

    you can chose the least played song? How? BTW - that's a great 3 song list. Huh, how did you figure I was a Yes fan? 😅

    Ampeg 410 HE sounds "blown", even with new speakers. Any ideas?

    I had a '72/'73 Princeton Reverb that I had owned since new. One day I realized that it sounded awful. Thought it needed new tubes. Didn't do the trick. Replaced the (already non-original) speaker. Nope, no dice. Took it to a tech, who charged me 75 dollars to say it was fine. Brought it...

    Is that a train i see comin?

    just be careful the train you see doesn't make you jump out of the way and into the path of another train coming up from behind on another track. What are the current drummer's other interests? Different music genres or something entirely non-musical?

    Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

    somebody just put up a MIC era CV60 Jazz bass not far from me, ooo so tempting. then I went and broke my phone today, first time I've ever broken a screen. It's 8 years old, really has too little memory for the space hogging apps you need for every little thing. Killed any music gear GAS for...

    Did I fall through the looking glass?

    I swear I was here only a few weeks ago and now it seems rather different. As far as i know, i didn't fall and hit my head during the fourth of july party even after the tequila came out to do shots for our recently departed friend. At the risk of being exposed for my terminal obliviousness...

    Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

    I shall now need to update my avatar. Last year, I 'loaned' my much loved '08 CV50 Tele to my nephew, who asked his dad about getting a real guitar (has a mini strat that was really a piece of junk). I missed that guitar so much I replaced not long after with a '10 CV50 Tele. TL/DNR I finally...

    The Squier Mini Precision Bass Club

    I bought one of the Squier mini Precision Bass a couple years ago, took it out of the box slapped it into a gig bag and promptly lost it in a closet for nearly 2 years. Took it out last month and nearly had to get a tetanus shot after encountering fret sprout from hell. It already needed...

    What did the VM Jazz bass bring to the table?

    I bought a VM Jazz bass 4-5 years ago, to purloin the 1.5" nut width neck for my '15 CV70 P bass body. Until today, that VM body had sat in a box. I'm prepping gear for sale, to fund my music room construction. I have no idea what makes this what it is. I know it's just a lowly Squier, but...

    Please help identify this alleged 40th anniversary squier

    hah, it was you. Your post caused GAS for me. That's a really handsome bass, didn't see too many others like it. But that metallic sunrise really floats my boat. As far as I can tell, it's a red burst on a metallic gold base, right?
