    Short Scale Journey Didn't Last Long

    if your main concern is weight, and ballance - try some headless. i use hohner jack(s) for gigs, since 1995. (4, and 5 string). - neck goes however you want - ballance is exactly in your body axis - so, if you prefer it parallel with floor - it's possible, if you want neck go up, and body in...

    One brand for the rest of your life

    Ampeg would be my choice. (although, i don't use it any more). I was quite satisfied with my re...organized :) orange (6L6) while i was on precision, few decades ago. Cabinet was handmade by me 1x15. *would love to try mesa boogie, mentioned above. I can't remember if i ever (really :) ) used...

    Help! I’m About to Buy My “Holy Grail” Bass and I Don’t Need It

    Chess is right. no one really need (only) one bass! It's possible, but it's blasphemy :) :) :) ( I'm just discussing purchasing another one (cheap) for me, but since all live gigs are stopped here where i live, well - we agreed I don't need it right now. yes, right... :) )

    Is my friend a bad person?

    We can't say if he (or you? :) ) is, or not a bad person. We can tell he's got wrong/bad/incorrect/.... communication with his lady. *or may be even wrong choice (he might be the wrong choice as well). Yesterday, it's hidden gig money. Today, it's hidden few hundred bucks bass. Tomorrow, he...

    If you couldn't play Bass anymore......

    if there is no physical limitation - well - there is no limitation. so - sorry :) i play guitar and kbd a bit. i guess when i stop playing bass it will mean my certain, undeniable death. if i can say - i'll be very very dead if (when) it ever occurs.

    Would you be offended if a band asked you to play a P bass?

    i would play few takes - eventually using some of my basses, and this p-bass, no problem. however, if i don't feel p-bass line fits best, i would insist on what i think is the best sounding bass line. but i would like to hear the song first - we might agree from the very start that p is the...

    Basses under $1000 that put $2000+ basses to shame?

    it's (almost) always player who makes difference, not instrument.
