That’s gorgeous man.

So, this weekend my band opened up for Lita Ford; ended up using my Legend 5 for all but one song (we were supposed to play a specific song that required open low D, so I needed my 4 string).

Same - kind of. Bought used Warmoth parts off of TB. I have maybe $400 in it - but these days it would be close to $900.

I tend to have a #1. Currently it’s my Spector Legend 5. Much less about the dollar amount and more about what and how it inspires me to play. I still love my other basses - but if I had to pick my current favorite, it’s absolutely that bass. That said, if it’s the “house on fire and I can...

I’m friends with more than a few writers. Will definitely check it out!!!!

Only reason I agreed to the gig. I was a sub (I have stood in for 3 different players in the past and last year for 4 months while the current one was recovering from wrist surgery), but still - definitely was on the list!!!

So, had a gig last night at a venue with some history. Ended up using my ELF into my Goliath III 4x10 with my Spector and Fender 5 string basses Cool playing a place that Frank and Bing played for certain.

Had a transparent blue one. One of my few regrets in my life was selling it.

To be fair, JimmyM would be one of the best qualified people regarding Ampeg.

Been there man. Sorry to hear about it-truly.

That allows you to adjust neck tilt slightly (and I mean slightly) but it’s very much a personal preference thing. My JB+ 5 has the same thing - which is how I know; so does my Peavey Foundation. Try playing the bass without putting any pressure on it - it may be exactly how you want it...

Finally was able to acquire a new(ish) Spector after about 9 years going without. Sorry about the strap - was asking the wife which one she liked and she sent me this one. I’ll take better pics later when I gig it this weekend (casino gig on Friday, local bar on Saturday).

I have almost all of them until 2018 or so - then I ran into issues with them actually delivering the subscription. Killed it after 3 months of nothing. Also have a bookcase of old Guitar Player and Guitar World magazines. Actually for the second time. My (now ex) wife tossed them all when I...

Mea culpa. Went back to the old stone tablets (hard copies of Bass Player magazines) and found in there that the pickups are “custom-wound Fender JPJ pickups” per what Stu wanted. Anyway - I brought it up from where I keep all my music magazines - OP, if you have questions, I may be able to...

Not an unknown issue with Lace Sensors - at least IME. Currently have 2 basses with them and they’re pretty quiet compared to my other basses. That being said, Lace is still in business so getting replacements isn’t an issue - if you’re even wanting to keep them. I know a few people who...
