    Why can't Jesus eat M&M's? They keep falling through his hands.

    How come we all don't play Carvin instruments & amps/cabs?

    Well, mostly because my Fender Jazz and G-K rig kicks ass.

    And, it should be noted that no one, not a single person in the audience wants or needs to see a guy without shoes. No one. There's just not an audience for a barefoot guy. You're there to entertain, not make the audience sick.

    Chicks at Shows #10: March of the Dimes

    It's so sad that obesity has become so rampant here in the US that fit, healthy women are told to "put on some weight." It's not just on this forum; I see things like that all the time. No, she doesn't need to put on weight; remember the old days when 85 percent of the population wasn't fat?

    Jazz bass pickup settings for metal?

    I have both pups on full, tone on full. Just a bit of overdrive and I boost the mids quite a bit on my amp. Cuts through nicely, sounds great.

    Is there really a big difference between Squire vs Fender

    I can only offer my personal experience. I own a Squier VM Precision (the amber finish), and it is an excellent bass. No complaints at all. Last week I bought a new MIM Jazz, and it BLOWS the Squier away. Maybe I just got a good one, but everything about that MIM is just first rate. It's...

    Okay... call me stupid.... what's the deal with Alleva Coppolo?

    I always view these kinds of threads with a mixture of amusement and sadness; amusement because they're so predictable, and sadness at how nasty and combative our species is. Humans, it seems, will argue and spew hate about ANYTHING. I swear, there were a couple of guys earlier on the thread...

    400$ bass recomendations

    I recently bought a Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5 for 449. WAY better than I was expecting, and much better than the price tag would suggest. I got it as a backup and it's the only bass I've been playing. I have no complaints. The stock Schecter pickups are great. I play metal...

    Why Rickenbackers are so expensive?

    The endless bickering on these threads never fails to crack me up. Why must we label each other "fanboys" or "haters"? One's opinion of a musical instrument SHOULD be based on personal experience, and everyone has different experiences. My experience with a RIC was horrible. I bought one...

    My Rickenbacker Customer Service Experience

    These threads always amuse me, in an ironic/sad kind of way. I guess we in the USA are so used to getting screwed that we view customer service DOING ITS JOB as some miraculous, fantastic occurrence. You know what would be a fantastic, miraculous occurrence? A 1500+ bass that didn't...

    How does the CV/VM line stack up to MIM?

    My personal experience is with P basses. My VM P (the amber maple one) arrived in flawless condition. It in ALL respects is as good or better than any MIM I've played. I haven't felt the need to upgrade the pickups. The neck is fantastic, and the thing stays in tune for days at a time...
