I'm a guitar player who dabbles in bass. When other people hear me, they can usually tell I'm a guitarist playing bass because I really suck at bass.

This dude plays a 9-string through a drop pedal. Doesn't really answer your question, but it is fun. :)

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant ... with a nod to the joke. :) I had so many ways of making lube suggestions, I still have a headache.

Maybe spitting on it will help.

The initial shipping fee is up to certain weight (I can't remember the max). I ordered a lefty bass for my son, a righty bass for me, a t-styl guitar, and a 4x12 guitar cab - all shipped for about $60. It might have been the same shipping charge if I ordered strings. Anyhoo - it took under 3...

Swap "dunce" for "dance" and you might be on to something!

How about Polka Fiasco? Me and some neighborhood musicians did a driveway performance - we were called Socially Distant.

Definitely appreciate the 'how to' advice. But I should clarify - I am so done with working on it. It's been months At this point, I am willing to ship it to stranger and pay that person to get it done right - as long as it is a legit business. I wacthed many youtube videos, bought the tools...

I tried the DIY option and failed miserably. Lol! I replaced everything else with no issues, but that darn bridge is a challenge. At some point, you gotta find an expert. :)

Sorry for a guitar question in a bass forum, but I'm not getting the assistance I need elsewhere. I'm glad I switched to bass a few years ago. :) I have an Ibanez RG550 I bought new in '88 and needs work. I'm looking for a luthier or tech I can ship it to who loves the challenge of a Floyd...

Stupid mortgage. Stupid car. Stupid 401K. Stupid wife. Stupid kids' college funds. Stupid moral objection to being a prostitute.

My son (25 year old) didn't know who I was talking about until I reminded him of the song in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Man, they wrote some fun songs!

Too many are just focusing on the look. Fender is going to be chewing on this turdburger for a while. If you ever get a chance to demo a PRS bass, buckle your seat belt.

neighbors (or other limits on sound levels)? None, but I'm going with electronic drums to keep the volume tolerable/comfortable. quality of the room's acoustics? (Gorgeous sounding large room with vaulted ceilings? 10' x 20' box with standing waves galore?) Maybe 20x30, open floorplan. Typical...

Let's say $1000 for sound only. PA, interface, monitors, mixers, etc. Drums & keyboard TBD.
