    Found this.....

    Clearing out stuff from my storage space, and this was in a box that hasn't been opened in decades. Obviously a guitar pickup selector switch label disk, but from what guitar? I only own a '61 Melody Maker with one pickup (no switch!) Its surprisingly heavy (steel?), black and about...

    P-Bass love - is it more of a boomer thing?

    sweet jesus......... its been too long since I've seen that footage. Watching Moon and Townsend on Young Man Blues is remarkable; they are both just going off, but always in perfect time with each other.

    Refin? Or original?

    FWIW, my 1961 Olympic white looks exactly like that, and I've had it for 40+ years.

    NBD - Dan Armstrong!

    I owned both the bass and 6 string versions back in early 80s; wish I still had both! The simple bridge never bothered me, but then I also play Danelectros and old Gibson Melody Makers, all with 'straight line' bridges.'

    When is a bass "vintage"?

    For those of us of a certain age, there is a loose cut-off somewhere in the mid-sixties where all the major manufacturers suddenly increased their output dramatically in response to the explosion of bands / demand for guitars. From my own personal experience, my circa 1970 basses (Fender and...

    when did 9v batteries become obsolete?

    moved recently, and just unpacked a box that had been in storage since 2015, or so. Inside was my long lost Boss Tu-12h tuner! The battery was dead, but at least it hadn't leaked. So I run off to the store to by some fresh batteries and head to the "wall o' power" which has well over 100...

    all dressed up and nowhere to play.......

    Playing a show in Boston in a couple of weeks, but my amp isn't making the trip. (neither is my bass) This little rig is just a conversation piece in my dining room, until I find something I wanna do out here in LA.

    Could modern music benefit from a Dogme 95 type movement?

    don't think I have ever recorded without following those rules, whether it was back in the 70s or now.

    I just bought a nice Vintage P Bass.

    Been playing over 45 years now, and have NEVER had a belt on when I picked up a bass. (I don't play weddings or funerals and don't wear a belt anywhere else.)

    Speaker cab that suits great with Aguilar TH500

    I really only use my TH500 as a spare / backup, but when I do, I have three DB112NTs; only use two at a time, but I have a spare I can leave at a rehearsal space

    People/musicians are so strange...

    'The singer in my cover band is pushing 60 and is still recording originals on the side. I'm not sure why. And I don't have the heart to tell him his tunes aren't good. At least we don't have to play them live.' 'I don't get this response at all. You're not sure why?? Maybe he likes making...
