Congrats, and yes...save money for the hardware store! Why do they make one-use water bottles out of plastic that lasts a thousand years, but houses out of wood that rots? Should be the other way around! Anyway, sorry if it is bad form, not trying to highjack the thread, but I was about to post...

OP here, thanks for the replies! Due to me being an idiot with all things internet, I had password issues and couldn't see your posts. Despite my current fear of the indoors, I'm going to take it in to the local GC and perhaps try something else. It is a loud hiss, even at low volume, and since...

Guess I'm trying to bump this? Does anyone else own one of these that could help me out?

So, this combo was a couple hundred bucks off. I wanted something that would give a bit more volume with articulation and midrange than my old Fender Rumble 100 15". I decided to roll the dice without trying it by trading in the Rumble and another old combo amp towards the Little Marcus at my...

Yeah, I'm on it. Vet appointment on Tuesday. The last few years she's been prone to UTI's, and that's when the pissin' starts.

That's funny, because we have 3 cats...one likes to sit on the bass amp when I play, one goes bonkers and bounces off the walls to distorted guitar, and the 3rd is afraid of acoustic guitars.

Yeah. I've already broken out the Simple Green. First World problem solved. Hopefully she doesn't go after the Pinarello Dogma I'm building up for work. Don't know how urine affects Di2. That's bicycle talk for a Fender Custom Shop bass on wheels.

Yup. After a stressful week when I couldn't seem to wind down, my wife sent me to the basement encouraging me to play. Thought I'd plug in the Bass VI, looper pedal, etc. And what do I find? My cat pissed on my brand new pog. Just had to share. Yes, I'm looking for sympathy. No need to tell me...

Well, technically I got it 3 days ago, and it's used, but I love this thing! 30" scale, and the Fishman electronics are surprisingly good. Question: of course I want to put on new strings, polish the frets and the fretboard is dry enough to need a little oil. Do I have to do anything different...

If that pain on the inside of your arm is on or near the bone, you may have what bothered me for over a year: medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow. Mine was mostly caused by 30 years of riding BMX, but I noticed it most during playing, and it affected my pinky just as you describe...

Sorry if I have the quoting mechanism wrong. Anyway, I had a similar problem, obviously a lot of us do, but after trying all the mid boost stuff, cobalt strings, quarter pound pickups, what helped the most was realizing that both guitarists had their low eq's way too high, because they liked...

So crazy...I just got on here to ask if anyone has experience with putting a short scale neck and moving the bridge on a full scale...because my 86 Patriot, which I love, has a bit of a twist to the neck and decimated frets.

We were putting on a backyard show at the guitar player's house. Even had free food and beer. I was directing cars where to park when an acquaintance that is more of a friend to the other guys pulled up and asked "They haven't kicked you out of the band yet?" I was assured later that he had to...

I have hovered over Talkbass for a while, finally had to join because I had to chime in...this is in the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Apparently the P Elvis was playing when the Beatles met him at Graceland.
