    No, Fender. Stop it.

    I'd pay $350.00 for one.

    Gibson Grabber/Ripper/G-3 club

    Keep it the way it is. It looks awesome! My first new bass was a 74 Gibson Grabber.

    Keyboard for ear training and theory study ?

    Good idea. Many college music programs use keyboards for ear training and music theory. Keyboards/piano are also used for learning/developing music composition.

    Do you hang your basses up on your wall?

    I like this setup! I have 10 basses, 3 electric guitars, and 3 acoustic guitars.

    R.I.P Charlie Watts

    RIP Charlie! You will be missed, and always remembered! High Tides and Green Grass was the first Stones album I listened too. I was a fan ever since.

    Want 1x15 cabinet. Somebody talk me out of it, please.

    I have a Blackstar U250 250W powered 1X15 extension bass cab. It is paired with a U250 bass combo amp. I can use the powered extension cab alone with preamps. It even works well with a Fishman TONEDEQ acoustic preamp for acoustic guitar or acoustic bass. It is bigger than the subcompact bass...

    Fender Player Plus

    The epidemic of Fenders getting "blown out of the water" on TB

    I own 4 Fender basses (3 P-basses and one Jazz bass) and 7 non-Fender basses. I play the Fenders 70% of the time, even though I like them all. I prefer the look, feel and sound of my Fender basses for most of the music that I "try" to play. :)
