    USA vs MIJ vs CIJ vs GRECO/TOKAI/UNIVOX/YOURMOM

    Are those the late-80's ones? One of those got stolen, it was pretty nice.

    Why Does My Tone Suck Even With Good Gear!!? Ampeg SVT-II , Eden Cabs , Etc...

    This is so smart and so obvious I don't know why I never thought of it when I was playing out. Maybe that means it's not so obvious...

    USA vs MIJ vs CIJ vs GRECO/TOKAI/UNIVOX/YOURMOM

    I mean, I have a $20 lawsuit bass that's pretty killer too, but that's not really what this is about. Thanks for your suggestions. I also have to spend $400. Probably a Squire CV of some sort. The 50's P Bass perhaps. That thinline tele also looks a whole lot like the one that got stolen from...

    USA vs MIJ vs CIJ vs GRECO/TOKAI/UNIVOX/YOURMOM

    That's the thing though. I have either $800, or $1400. Nothing in between because of Reasons™. I've been playing American P and J basses around town for a month or so, but none play as nice as the 2004 Squire P/J Bass that got stolen from me. Are the current Squires up to 04 caliber? No idea...

    USA vs MIJ vs CIJ vs GRECO/TOKAI/UNIVOX/YOURMOM

    So I already know that Greco guitars from the late 70's/early 80's are mostly of a ridiculous quality, is it the same with their basses? If you were me, and had either $800 or $1400 (but nothing in-between because insurance settlements are weird) to spend on one bass, and you wanted a P bass...

    So i bought a bass on Shopgoodwill.com, any ideas

    I have the same bass, except I bought mine for $10 from some dumb kid. It's a Link Removed, which is kind of hilarious if you really think about it. I like mine a lot. It plays great and sounds like an amplified tin can blasting out of Satan's butthole. You can see where the logo was sanded...

    Weezer/Matt Sharp Jazz build

    I just wanted to point out that I own Matt Sharp's actual bass. The one that Why Bother was recorded with. That is all. Sweet build, btw!

    Smoking pot while being in a band

    Enough about "old weed" and "new weed" What you are calling "old weed" was probably grown outdoors without much care by some hippie jerk. The "new" stuff is grown indoors with CRAZY attention to detail. It's not some magic new kind of pot. You know how tomatoes grow larger when properly watered...

    REEFER MADNESS You know, it is possible to control your intake. This. Anyone not doing when trying something new is foolish. I find these sort of studies fascinating. Can you provide a source, or even better, a link to this study?
