For those that don't remember, I tore the quad tendon in my knee on April 16th. Fortunately I had surgery just 5 days later (helps to know a retired orthopedic surgeon who cleared all the obstacles out of the way), and I've been on the mend ever since. It is a pretty horrible injury, that some...

Nice bass. I'll have to try the "I bought this bass for you, honey" on my wife.

Alphabetically by height.

Tell them you aren't in a hurry, and would like to have it delivered sometime after Jan 20, 2029.

This is going to be awkward, but how do we make a Talkbass GTG group and not tell @davedamage

Dave's don't need self-control. At least that is what I told myself all thru college (many, many moons ago).

2+ weeks ago the smoke was here in Richmond, VA (almost 600 miles from the nearest point in Canada). It was bad enough that a lot of outdoor events were cancelled. Amazing how far that stuff can drift when the weather is right (or wrong as it may be).

Good for you. How long is the wait?

After my whinging on drop day about not really wanting/needing a Sonoran, I bought one anyway. I am a weak, weak man with no willpower. I'm having the same experience of low output as everyone else. I'm running Bass > Sonoran > Element (headphone amp). To my ears (admittedly not very good) I...

Calamity Fuzz in stock, and it has different graphics.

I do speak to my knees. But it is loud grunts of pain or begging them not to fail me again.

I’m doing well. Now 12 weeks post op and I can manage day to day life without significant issue. But still no running/jogging or quick change of direction. On the plus side I’m not anllowed to do yard work. The negative is no golf for at least 6 more weeks. And realistically probably 10 or...
