For a specific sound sometimes yes I do!! Mostly lives with rotosound tape wounds on it.

my once pearl white is her now glorious butter yellow...amazing basses, neck/truss rod on mine was not in great shape from the previous owner but she's a solid player now. Really great solo p bass tone and everything else you want too. I know it's sacrilege to some but really get that 80s vibe...

There are no extra knobs!!! Haha a full set with the f logo will run you as much as a used squire! Reverb has folks asking $50 each. Happy NBD!! I have a fretless sister with the same amazing patina!!!

Interested! Where in NY?

I did not get the gig. Seems that no matter how hard i prepare when it comes time to do it "for real" I get some kind of stage fright and screw it all up. Then my nervous energy probably makes me seem like some kind of weirdo. Felt like everything was too fast and just speeding by. I made a vid...

Thats some great stuff! I just bought my first to experiment with. A very humble and simple boss RC1. I love it and am going to upgrade to a better unit when i have the $. You guys are great inspiration, thank you!!

Modal interchange is the borrowing of chords from a different scale based on the tonic or root of the key you are in. For instance when in C major you use an F min instead of F. Very common on the IV chord in major scales in many songs, even immediately following the corresponding major chord...

I tried out a MIM Geddy in sam ash recently and instantly regretted it! Ive never felt an episode of GAS come on so strong or so fast! Thankfully I didn't have the money because that would have been an impulse buy impossible to resist. After explaining that to the sales person he said it was a...

Great advice, thanks! I made sure to ask about tunings right away and the BL said they stay true to the albums. Some standard some C# etc...He even offered to do it all in standard or D or Eb, whatever I was comfortable with. Of course I said I would like to follow them and do it true to the...
