    Beer on stage and the smart way to do it?

    I like taking a sip of whatever I'm drinking in between songs. Sometimes it's beer, sometimes water... Ok, so, the band goes on stage, I have my beer in my hand... First instinct is to put it on top of the amp - obvious pros: it's on top of your own property (assuming you're not using/sharing...

    Club Bordwell Part 4

    Hey y'all, I scored me a used Dia! Fantastic bass! Nordstrand pickups and 3b Pre. Not sure about the body / top wood. It's a 35" scale and the headstock has a "B" logo. Does that mark a certain era? (As opposed to "CB" logo) The seller knew absolutely nothing about it.

    TalkBass Upgrade July 2nd 1:30am

    The "negativity" is based on more than a decade of using this beautiful resource / website. I LOVE Talkbass and everything it provides, but this upgrade, for the lack of a better term, is absolute dogs**t, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Makeover for the sake of makeover.
