    Early, on time or late?

    I don’t see an issue with “On Time”. Early is great of course but it depends on your life situation. I’ve got family at home and a full time job. So nobody can expect me to be early really. I’m not there to kick back and drink beers. I’m there to work. However even with everything going on I’ve...

    How much would you put up with for the perfect sound?

    Reliability is critical. I wanna plug it in and have it play. Every single time every time. This goes for Basses, amps, mics.....Also cars, people....The last things I wanna do is worry about something being on point and having to fiddle with it as a gig is about to start. Once something screws...

    Talkbass "Rules Of Bass" you follow, TB "Rules Of Bass" you don't

    Follow: Fender P with Flats and Tort. I came around about 10 years ago. TIs and my P just get it done. Don’t Follow: Using a pile of effects. Pedal Boards, Jazz Basses or Rics. Keep it simple and just lay down the groove. And even with a simple straight up thumpy tone I don’t stand in the...

    Bought a bass today. Input.

    I owned one for about 4 years. Fantastic bass. Only issue I had was that laminate on the top of the headstock peeling off. Strictly a cosmetic issue though. Great balance and tone. The stock Peavey pickups sounded great. All of Peaveys bass gear is highly underrated. Play that beauty with...

    How do you guys feel about buying a “no returns” bass?

    Unless it’s a parts item, like a broken neck, clear damage ect I wouldn’t do it. If they won’t stand behind their product than neither will I. I like the video chat idea BTW. If someone is willing to go that far then you can most likely trust them. Still not 100% though.

    Combo Bass Amp Question

    Fender Rumble Stage 800. Telling you. This amp kills it. Especially with the 210 Ext Cab. Horns have attenuators which helps. This Rig retired my SVT-CL and 410. Light and powerful.

    For a Fender Mex P Bass which would be the best pickup replacement?

    Fender Custom shop 60s are great. I have a set in my American Standard. I recently dropped some Fralins in my P Deluxe and wow they sound great. Put on some good headphones and jump on YouTube. Piles and piles of demos.

    Your Pride & Joy

    Love my American Standard. Swapped the Tort out for black not long ago. Played soooo many gigs with this bass. It’s like home to me.

    Fender Precision pickup question

    Add the Fralins and forget it. Possibly overwound if you wanna get crazy. Email them. Prob some delays with all this going on but they will answer and provide or even make exactly what you want.

    Dumbing down: a slight rant

    In my opinion when it come to a bar band, as long as everyone plays it the same it usually doesn’t matter. The 1 or 2 people in the place that will nitpick don’t make the majority. As long as it still sounds tight. I promise you out of 100 people in a bar maybe 1 might think “Hey you changed the...
