    What is better?

    I currently make use of a GK MB 210 ii. It works ok, and is pretty movable, which is important to me. I think I picked it up for around $450, which maybe its still worth around that. To my ears, the GK sounds a bit too 'clean'/ modern. Available locally there is a Shroeder 400W 15 inch bass cab...

    I bought my first ever CD on the weekend.

    It is funny - i use the same rationale to limit myself to two basses!

    I bought my first ever CD on the weekend.

    Interesting conversation. I'm supportive of the physical media for the same reason others are here....however, I'm also pretty deterred by just that: it's physical, plastic crap that takes up a lot of space. a few years back when I was considering what road to go down I ultimately decided...

    How many have just learned to live with your bass?

    is that a black p with a tortoise guard?? Looks great under light…

    Pedalboard nearly complete

    Aside from whether one has more functionality than another (after all this is a surface you velcro crap to), or whether some one would rather buy this than all the tools necessary to build it, some of us prefer not having to needlessly generate more demand for molded plastic garbage, if it’s...

    Should I do this trade? MIJ for MIA fender?

    You're trading something you know you love for a crapshoot - they're good basses but who knows if you'll vibe with this one. The values don't really matter at that point. A bird in hand is better than two in the tree.

    What color should I paint my Flea RW?

    Looks completely fine to me - you did a good job without removing too much of the original finish. You already said you like the pink, you KNOW it looks good. Stop worrying about the road worn thing, who cares about that. It's a cool looking bass and you worked to restore the finish, I vote it...

    Herd Thinning?

    I just sold my #3. I could sell my #2 but it's a parts bass and I'd get pretty little for it. I don't feel like parting it out right now, but maybe soon. I could easily have 1. Two is reasonable but beyond that it just feels like needless stockpiling.

    Do I really need another one.

    No , you don't need another bass.

    Thought you knew Jason Isbell’s story? You don’t know the half of it

    All else aside it would be a pretty difficult to not know who John Prine was if you say, read the news. His obituaries were all over the place.

    SOLD Ampeg Scrambler

    80 shipped, Ampeg Scrambler. A nice drive pedal that can do subtle to extreme. I like it so much I'm ditching my DI and getting the full SCR-DI unit so I only have to move one thing (no pedal board). only pedal, no power supply, no original box, etc. pay pal friends and fam.

    help with my tone

    Thanks for the heads up. I probably need to take it into the shop anyway since the volume pot set screw is stuck - I've tried everything - which prevents be from swapping the pickguard, something I'd like to be able to do.

    help with my tone

    I honestly don’t know anything about the electronics of the bass world. The loaded pickguard came off a mim 2003 body, but not sure if it was all original pots
