This. Very versatile. I have had one on my board for over 15 years. Can add just a touch of grit to moderate distortion. Also nice eq on board

I have TI flats in mine. Fairly bright and lower tension similar to round wounds which I prefer. A lot of people swear by Chromes and La Bella. I have t tried La Bella’s personally but I’ve tried chromes a few times and they didn’t resonate with me, partially do to the high tension

I own both. P is arguably the most reliable and (believe it or not) versatile, at least in my opinion. Workhorse of the music industry for over 60 years now. That said I usually use mine more for studio recording (easier for sound engineer in general, it just sits perfectly in the mix) and use...

This thread is…epic. I love all of it. Personally I dislike Steely Dan to the point that I would never waste the amount of time Albini did to troll them. I understand the technical aspect, it’s just not my cup of tea. That said, his comments were pretty funny and relatively tame compared to...

I really like tobacco burst finishes, but that first blue one is eye popping. That’s my vote

. This is very true. IMO the guitar is the hardest part, but even that is doable. The question is can your band pull it off? I say go for it. Great exercise for yourself and the band as a whole

I’ve owned 2 PB63’s. Still have one. “Worth” is entirely subjective but personally I like them. As has been said, they feel and sound terrific. The relic look is the only potential downside, but on the other hand, it helps them retain their value a bit better than a Fender.

Wow, this one is still around? I remember it from like 2010. I guess it’s hard to kill a classic, and I suppose they only need a couple of victims a week to make it worthwhile. But to the OP, yes this is a scam

I’ve had both. Didn’t like the mini because I lean heavily on the pedal when I use it and the mini is awkward in comparison.

I’ve always considered the Precision, Jazz, Stingray, and Rickenbacker as the “classic 4” with an honorable mention to Spector NS-2. Can’t go wrong with any of these IMO. As for my personal preference, the only Rick I line is the 4003S due to its lack of body binding which I find very...

Wow. 10 pages of discussion on…I don’t know what. To the OP- 1. I cut my strings because it saves time 2. There is no “used string market”

Another vote for P bass

It’s legit. And that bridge is a HUGE bonus. The only thing I don’t really like about my thunderbird is the stock bridge
