Every time I restring I use a microfiber cloth and rub every surface down on the body, neck, and fretboard (I really try to get as much of the dead skin and grime off the frets), but it's been a while since I've done a full on real deep clean. Honestly, I've only really ever done a true deep...

I have pop funkos of blink-182 from the whats my age again MV (where they're naked lol) so I have a Mark hoppus funko. I have a green day pop funko set from the american idiot era so I have Mike Dirnt, and then a Lemmy pop funko. I also have a miniature p-bass I have on a shelf as well

Oh awesome! I grew up in Fairfax, grew up going to Reston and still love popping over when I get the chance. And no, it was a nickname a friend gave me in college (Gnarly Narwhal, shortened to Gnarwhal over time lol)

Thanks! We used to practice weekly at Crescendo Studios in Falls Church VA. That room in the pic was always booked and we had to ask for it in advance, as a lot of bands had booked it for specific times every week out in the future. It was also hooked up to a recording room so it was equipped...

:roflmao: I'm not quite there yet with my belly, but luckily the V2 is much lighter and I can play it for extended periods of time standing up. the V1 has been retired, but will definitely think of this tip if my belly grows to give me enough cushion lmao

Awesome! Thank you! Will add to my sig now

I can't find if I posted here but I definitely have added more since I fist voted haha. I jumped from 4 to currently 7: Squier P bass (heavily modded - black) Squier P bass (heavily modded - red) Squier P bass (heavily modded - white/blue) - this is my newest, and is my current project bass...

Last photos taken of me were at a rehearsal shortly before we took a break a few month ago to focus on life stuff. Here’s my customized/modded red p bass in action!

So I usually played my Kingman V1 sitting down because I never used it for a show, its really only been for me to noodle or write songs on, or to play along with bandmates or friends when they want to have an acoustic jam. Even sitting down I noticed my left arm sagging, but it was more so that...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm a proud Fender ABG member/owner :D And damn I was 1 number away from my HS football number (30), but I'll take 29 gladly (unless you can make an exception for #30 haha)

So i own 2 Fender Kingman basses. I got the original one back in 2011 or 2012? Maybe even 2013? It was a while ago but my parents got it for me as a birthday gift after they heard me talking nonstop about it. I loved that it had the classic fender headstock and that I could finally play acoustic...

haha no, I have not sold my bass as it's my first and still my #1. A little update, I did it to my bass years ago and ended up doing it to a second bass more recently:

I'm always on the lookout for Squier affinity p basses because I like to customize and mod them (see my avatar lol) and nothing irks me more than someone trying to sell one as a Fender for $300. Some people say "Fender Squier bass" or Fender bass in the title and have Squier in the description...

If you look at my avatar you can see 3 p basses. They're all different but i love them all: Black P-Bass - my #1. Had it for 16 years, my first bass, learned everything to this point with this workhorse. I have modded it to hell, new pickups (Seymour Duncan QPs), a stacked knob, badass bridge...

Its been said throughout the thread, but it really does depend on what you're looking for. I'm in a 3-piece band and both myself and the guitarist are songwriters. I love the challenge and reward of sitting down and writing a song, and taking the demo to my bandmates for them to put their spin...
