I think it just rattled loose. Other pictures show it more or less where it should be. He usually practices unplugged from all the IG videos he does and I believe he doesn’t play with a light touch. He isn’t a guy to hold back. I love some of his stuff and some I don’t need to hear again. I...

My gear outshines my ability 100 to 1. It’s not the bass. I am proof of that.

David, going by photo collection on CT’s website I believe your bass lived multiple lives. It states it was originally fretless but later fretted. Check it out if you haven’t already. Looks like at one time there was a personalized message from Carl on back plate. Very cool indeed. Perhaps they...

Don’t do it If at all possible. That’s why I quit last band. You will grow tired of the hassle quickly and gigs will become less fun. Oh, guitar player always sandbags sound check and gets 50% louder by second set.

I had an 80’s NY model. I don’t remember model name and Ken blew me off when I asked him about it. I couldn’t get the “Smith sound” out of it however it sounded fantastic and very versatile. I had a CR6 also it had the “Smth sound”. Just too many strings for me. I really want a white Burner...

I am really sensitive to “out of tune”. Makes it hard to play along with certain recordings. Even a chorus pedal can bother me. Playing live I sometimes have to say “f it” and get over guitar being out and just play along bending notes to relative pitch until it’s over. No one in audience...

That looks great! I was torn between getting one of those and a Retro 70’s. When I finally decided the Jackpot was out of stock, so I settled on a white retro. I like the Retro but your bass looks awesome.

No suggestion for flats as I don’t care for them although do have one bass with TI’s. I will say that I was disappointed when I got my Retro until I actually played with the volume and tone knobs. The bass responds dramatically to slight changes of both. It is honestly the best sounding Ray or...

I figured as much. I have several other heads from light and small to I don’t want to carry it but the LH does what I want.

I have done some searching, but I can’t find an answer. Is there a modern lighter weight amp that sounds like an LH1000? That head is the only one that I have tried that seems to work for the sound I like. Mine is old, beat up and dropped several times in its life. It still sounds good however I...

I like my light weight head and cabinets. I wish someone would make light weight drum hardware because I always get roped into helping everyone else because my rig is one trip for everything and I am always set up or torn down first.

Gibson made a Les Paul with Bartolini pickups and preamp. I had one and it sounded exactly the same as Wild Nights bass sound. I think it was around a 1994. Preamp was silly powerful.

I have seen some good musicians sell legit equipment cheap to support addiction unfortunately.

I don’t know what to tell you about pricing, but I think it is a looking Bass. Glad no butterfly’s were involved! lol.

Better than playing every where for “exposure” on premise of leading to next bigger gig. But playing the same place every time can get boring.
