Ok guys, so which strength hide granules should I get?

Its a Shen sb150. About 13 years old. Really trying to be responsible with social distancing right now and would like to use the time off (non-essential) to shed, so even a luthier trip isnt really what I want to do. Gaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

So Wisconsin is (mostly) on lockdown. And my bass has an open seam between the top and lower treble side. What can I do to stop the spread or fix this? I have wood glue, but no clamps (can I use weight instead?) A neoghbor might have clamps. But wexre taking social distancing seriously, hence...

I use lettered chord symbols and just always ask if there's different keys. Probably mostly because its what I'm used to, so its easier for me to read. ALSO, my on the fly transposing doesnt suck.

If you're just using a power amp setup, why not get one thats double the power and only use one side? That way the other sidenis your backup.

Wasnt it Koussevitsky who sight conducted a Verdi Premier on zero notice? The greats really are humbling when their abilities get a chance to shine through.

My pedal board is a DI/IEM setup. My backup is my tube pre aslso has a DI on it. I actually just added a GDI21 for when i cop guitar stuff so thats 3 DIs on my rig. Amps are a luxury. On a DB gig i'll usually have an electric bass in the car (for important gigs anyway). And my backup amp is...

I've also used DeepDish Gigbook before the "setlist item" feature is great, and you can handwrite your notes right on the ipad. You can also shuffle the songs around and do many other things

Since you asked. If you can make out my scribbles. 50 song gig this week. 9 days notice. This method got me all but 3 tunes ready by yesterday when we (fortunately) rehearsed. Mostly tunes I'm familiar with and nothing crazy hard. I've deffinitely done this with tougher rep.

My charts look similar usually shorthand added to a setlist. Example: D- A Bb F / G D- A % Verse or chorus doesnt matter really only which happens first. Usually i can hear variations, and I always mark which progression the solo is over. If there's rhythmic info or "bass starts" i'll jot...

I either DI or use my 1x12.

I built this with very little know how. Cost about $30 total for all materials (plenty left over) and a couple hours of time. This is 18x9ish. Mounting stuff underneath is a nice bonus.

As long as its not white w/gold..

This is really my favorite of what's been suggested. They are not tuned EADG and dont have frets, but they travel well. I want one. ...there's also this if you want to make it.

I literally only read the thread title and voted. I said "absolutely" not because I can hear on a recording, but I can hear the sound from my amp being that which I intend on bolt on necks and not on neck through.
