The only thing worse than listening to a bass solo is playing a bass solo.

I have never noticed drive slowing my playing down. I probably will now.

The drummer carries mine. If I run across the stage I have to make sure I don't stop suddenly. :)

So a Sansamp has a HPF?

Are HPFs the new Labubu? Did Jaco use one? :)

I have a bass with an area similar to that and have had no issues. I consider it a free value added fret marker.

I have a Markbass New York 121 that I have been using with my RB 210, and it seems to be working out well. Does anyone think an Ampeg 15 inch would sound better?

Thank you so much!

Looks and sounds great! Where did you find the Hipshot Ultra Light tuners, and did you have to drill holes to install them?

I have done just the opposite; back to a tuner and a Sans Amp BDDI.

Thanks for the responses. I wasn't knocking short scale basses, I've just not had much experience with them and was impressed with the sound the bassist from Wet Leg was getting from his. Now to try to explain to the wife why I need a short scale to add to the bass collection. Lol

I heard the band Wet Leg playing live on a late night talk show recently. It looked like the bass player was using a (Mustang?) short scale bass, it sounded great. His amp rig appeared to be an older Fender tube set up. I have frequently heard that short scales don't sound as good as long scale...

Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim. You know those were different times.

So there is life after GAS?

What is this "oil of the fretboard" you speak of?
