I don't know about inexpensive: ebay listing 1193.93 + 180.00 economy shipping (Just in case someone snatches it up before you can click the link)

Yes, it's just like mine except mine is heavily modified (I painted the head of the screws on the pick guard black).

I would be scared of any kind of pain while playing. Kelly Richie was facing carpal tunnel surgery and beat it with exercises. She says she's practiced up to 14 to 16 hours a day; watching her play, it's easy to believe. The three exercises look pretty easy and would be perfect when you take a...

I've been away from bass and guitar for awhile, but it's surprising how fast it's coming back. It looks like rain here for the next few days so it's the perfect time to get back to playing. It's just hard for me to stay with it during motorcycle season.

If you miss something in the book, or there's something you just don't understand, this thread is a great resource. Sounds like you're doing great, though.

Jeez! It's -1F outside. What's sad is this is the warmest day this year so far. Happy New Year everyone. Time sure flies, seems like just yesterday it was 2017.

Took a break from bass playing because my Strats were calling my name. Plus, I didn't want to lose all my treble cleff reading skills. It's getting easier mentally to switch back and forth between trebble and bass cleff and I've pretty much decided that if I stick to a short scale bass the...

@Nocturnal Photobucket is blocking your pics. Sorry but the refin didn't happen.

I'd be posting a NACD if it was me. I don't handle the heat at all well any more.

I was surprised to learn that Bruce Springsteen is an alien.

"The safest place for you right now is with me. We'll get you a set list but you should know most of the songs already. Now, how do you know Marco?" Cleo looked down, more than a little embarrassed. "We went out a few times, had some laughs. We talked about starting our own band but I should...

"Ok, doll, you're an orphan. But what I need to know is the problem you have now. If you're not going to tell me then I'll just make a wild guess. You're scared. Probably because a man named Marco is after you. If he is, you should be scared. He's a frustrated bass player wannbe who couldn't...

I like it. It's like the game of "take it" we play with the grandkids. One of us starts an story and then says "take it". The next person adds to it then passes it on to the next person. There's no way to tell how the story ends.
