Just took delivery yesterday on my new Polytone Clip, from Sweetwater. Had to pay $49, but free shipping and fast delivery makes up for it. So far, I love it - super visible, and it tracks really fast so I know if I'm tuned up quickly. The directions just suck - tiny print I need a magnifying...

Huh? What's this dude trying to say?

Glenn Cornick, baby. 'Nuff said.

I'm hopin' you get pics - post 'em here if the guy actually sends some.

OK, I just learned how to post multiple large pics in here (still kinda new, sorry). I already posted one measly lame pic of my '97 Roscoe Beck 5, but hopefully this post will mark my OFFICIAL entry in the Custom Shop club! Do I get a number? I usually leave both pickups in series...

Oh fer Pete's sake, thanks! That was simple. Much appreciated.

Hate to sound like a dork, but for some reason I can't seem to be able to figure out how to post pics. I've uploaded some of my own pics from my hard drive (the bar graph at the top of my Manage Attachments thing says I have a total of 510.1 KB of attachments already uploaded), but what I'm...

Dang - I may have to get one of EACH! :hyper::bassist::D

According to Carol Kaye, the function of the foam under the bridge is to kill some of the overtones and harmonics. This allows more of the fundamental to show through, while forcing a muted upright tone. Apparently this allowed the bass to sit in the mix on all the hit records better than the...

OK, I was reading that the Highway One is made in the U.S.A. and then shipped to the Mex plant in Ensenada via Highway One (hence the name) to get the nitro finish, which is illegal in the U.S., then shipped back to finish assembly. Also I read that the nitrocellulose finish allows the wood to...

Yep, it IS teal green! Sorry, I forgot to say that.

I've got a P-bass in my horizons, but probably not until the first of the year. Lately I've been hearing the buzz about the American Standard, but then yesterday some talk about the Highway One came up and now I'm looking at both. Apparently at some point the Highway "1" became the Highway...

My '97 Fender Roscoe Beck 5-stringer. It's been strung up with TI Jazz Flats for the past 4 or 5 years, I forget how long. Straight into my Ampeg B-50R for practice or coffeeshop gigs, or into my B-100R for louder gigs. All blues all the time. No, ma'am, we're musicians.

+1 from me too about the battery issue. The mp3 Tascam bass trainer has rechargeable batteries but they discharge after only a couple or three days - but I practice about 2 hours a day. It recharges via a USB cable but I got a wall wart USB thingie from Radio Shack to do the job and it takes...

Huge props for the Tascam mp3 bass trainer. I bought mine from somebody here so I got a deal. But the thing is worth the full retail price, IMO. I practice with it every day - effects galore on it, but the only one I use is compression. It's actually a limiter, not so much a compressor but...
