Good stuff, thanks. That's a good, solid solution. Being able to sink the bar into the grill perforation is a nice touch. You could probably sell those!

Ninjatanzen yeah you're probably right, that's good stuff. Takes extra design work from the manufacturer.

NitroBobby looks good, what are you using to tilt the cab?

If necessary you could probably just remove the payment method (bank acct etc) from your pp acct. Just don't ask stranger danger how!

OP doesn't have an amp to secure yet. OP was indeed making an observation: "When I see a small, lightweight head..." OP wrote in a casual, conversational tone and hoped it might inspire more of that and less pedantry. Nonetheless, OP has his answer. Thank you. - OP

Exactly. It's an electronic gadget. Looks expensive, take a chance. Fence, resell, trade, part out, etc. That's very basic thief mentality, for anyone out there in Candyland.

Thanks for a thoughtful reply! As a reminder to anyone who needs it, I didn't say anything about playing rough places or dives (neither of which is a necessary precursor to theft, which is often simply a question of opportunity). I'm not currently doing either. It was just an observation that...

Good thought, but I don't have one. Don't even have the micro amp yet, just thinking about it for when I finally do. Probably won't be one of the super small ones like that TC. But yeah, a board is a good spot for that TC.

Beautiful post. I have NO IDEA what happened to the rest of this thread but that was worth the sh!tstorm. From someone who's recently endured yet another birthday, best wishes for your continued health and happiness!

Ok, so who has given some thought to this? When I see a small, lightweight modern head, I instantly think of how quickly and easily it could grow legs and disappear from the bandstand. I've considered things like those thin, flexible bike wire chains to lock them to the cab handle, or the...

Funny thing is, no one would ever say that about any 2x15, which is essentially what that is. If I had to pick any part of that rig to describe that way, it'd have to be the amp, micro heads being what they are. Funny how the eyes work. Either way, it's about as solid and proven a rig as they...

NYBW's Reference Series [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I have a Concert Series fretless 5 and a Deep Jazz 6, which can be seen here - NY Bass Works The Concert Series was Dave's original body style, with the Deep Jazz coming later, and then the Cremona, along with some other variations. The Concert fretless is a figured mahogany body with a...

Owner of two NYBWs here, saying you won't regret it! Fantastic instruments from an immensely talented, great guy. My instruments pre-date the Reference Series, but I have seen and played an RS. Nobody nails the soul of a Jazz Bass like Dave, while giving you all the flexibility you'd ever...

Really cool. As a kid I was a sucker for all that colorful ad copy and glossy pics. Nowadays you think, Man, I could've found some way to put that kind of money together, and then hold onto that instrument for sale decades later or to keep. But of course, cheap as it seems now, $1000 for a...
