    Bee Bass owners club

    I would love to try out a neckthru single cut Bee... that one is killer! I guess I never updated this thread. My Worker is 20 year old now... and I FINALLY got up the nerve to disassemble it and polish it like I wanted to on day one. For those who don't remember, all my wood was 'Acrylized'...

    Guitar players corner!

    Same, I gigged as a guitarist for a summer in a cover band that was run by my original project's drummer with an early 90s Boss multi effect pedal and my bass rig.

    Home/office printer recommendation needed

    I've had this one for about 6 years now... survived a home schooled daughter for 5 of them and a crafty wife. I buy paper 3 to 6 reams at a time. Still going strong with zero complaints https://www.brother-usa.com/p/laser-printers/HLL3290CDW

    not what you asked... but these were my solution nearly 25 years ago.

    Considering a new semi-hollow body bass

    I bought a 2017 Starfire 2 here a couple years ago. It is my favorite 4 string to play and hear.

    Whatcha watching?

    Yellowstone was a slow burn... I recall almost giving up after a couple episodes in. I didn't watch any of them until Yellowstone's last session was airing. Lots of great writing and acting. Dutton Ranch is a nice extension with the Daughter/Matriarch, her husband the former main ranch hand...

    Whatcha watching?

    I just watched the first episode of 1883... I plan to rewatch all of it followed by 1923 and then Yellowstone. I've seen them all, but Dutton Ranch has me missing the ranch and family of Yellowstone... figured I should start it chronologically

    Knives!

    Love that! I am in the market for better kitchen tools... I know what I want, but still learning the names of what I am really looking for blade wise.

    Good string options that are smoother feeling than rounds?

    Jazz Rounds get my vote too. I've got them on all my basses that don't have flats (TI as well). I didn't need a new nut on any of them, but I have used set with close to a .090 E string since the 80s.

    Wah Wah!

    Teese RMC3 for me... DIP switches and such set to the "smooth & sweet" settings.

    Using a pick...

    Pick playing is perfectly acceptable, the 'no pick' thing is a close minded myth.

    Inlays on bass fretboards? What's considered tasteful?

    Thanks! It is my 7 string Worker Bee. It is a Wenge board and a vine from Mexico that is usually sold for knife handles and pen blanks under the name "Silver Vine". I always preferred no inlays but like blocks too. A per peeve is when builders put 4 string Jazz bass width blocks on extended...

    Inlays on bass fretboards? What's considered tasteful?

    I've ordered 4 custom basses in my lifetime. 3 with ZERO face dots only side dots... and the newest one (20 years old now) is this:
