WD-800 inbound. Should arrive Friday. Going to have a re-stringing and polishing party on the axes Friday night with the new gear.

Man, that is the last thing I need right now. Like a hole in the head. I'm gonna have to find one in a shop and play it now...

Thank you. That is a 2019 Stingray Special with the roasted neck. Funny story how I came in to that. I bought a Fender Elite Precision a few years ago with an anniversary check from work. At that time I hadn't held a bass in probably 15 years however, I was ready to get back into it. A year...

I am truly fortunate to have a wife that supports, and doesn't give me too much grief, about my many expensive hobbies. I make sure to treat her well :)

I've sat down since yesterday day a couple times and finally plugged her in this afternoon. Definitely need to be mindful of that fat sound from the B-string... I am really digging the fact that I can work the fretboard vertically. Probably just the laziness in me appreciating it.

So, my wife and I have been working from home for the last month or so due to all of the craziness going on. We have adapted to completely online shopping for everything. It is not unusual for us to receive several packages per day from UPS, FedEx, USPS etc., for everything from toothpaste and...

Thanks @agedhorse!!! I was hoping you would respond and provide definitive confirmation. Thanks for the tip on running in 2-ohm mode while into a 4-ohm load. With my current 1000-watt amp, I have great control and usually only run it on 3/10 power (into the 212AV) while I play my daily...
