I would prioritize getting the correct saddle for this bike. The other negatives or upgrades would wait a few rides.

Thanks. This pic was taken outside Barcelona. Still on the coast but 25 kms away from the city. I'm the 3rd owner of this Trek. Properly serviced, it's a fantastic machine for my rides. Funny thing it's that I'm spending more money (and time) in mtb than on bass these times.

Although I ride the whole year here, spring is the best time for going out on the bike.

I played that head last year on a gig, provided by the other band's bassist, and it was insanely insane, . Too much of everything, but if you are in the hardrock/metal scene, it would make the difference. I think it was intended to swap all the stuff Doug used to haul onstage. (I just saw he...

Oh, this is new for me then. I commented this based on what people publish on EBMM forums. I once broke the nut and the authorized service here in Barcelona had to send the broken one to the European rep. in order to get a new one. It's good to know that I can replace any hardware part with a...

I just discovered today this beast:

Not seems ash to me, more maple maybe. But I'm less expert than you here... Now I want to see all your bass collection! I'm guessing some MM style basses hanging on your walls.

I think Beato was

It's curious cause I tried that set of Curt Mangan 6 or 7 years ago and I liked very much. Not more expensive than other US makers here in Barcelona. I remember those as quite good in any aspect, maybe with a distinctive sound/tone with personality. I think I still have the set somewhere. I used...

It happened to me some years ago in a EBMM Stingray. First repair I did was with epoxy, but nothing fancy or curious, just to let me play some days before going to the luthier, Then, the luthier changed the nut, but he had 2 issues: the expoxy ultrahardened the zone and he had to recarv the...
