Ampeg 7 pro will drop in and shave off lots of weight.

Use a bass with a pointy headstock.

Meh, I just do it. No thought about the tension, just try not to play so hard as to go sharp. I use the gauge I put on for standard tuning and I deal with the minor compromise when dropped.

You are correct on the protone and the black and chrome- It came to me with a green peal guard, and I put on the black pearl. The 3rd is a parts bass from a standard body and a P bass neck. I believe I did a little bit of slow sanding to fit the geezer J's.

Most of these have kickass hip shot bridges and ultralight tuners. A few have drop tuners. Most have the geezers except the ADJ which has emgs and an obp3. The passive jazz is a parts mashup of squier neck and body. I put a tusqnut on the ADJ.

It took me a while of trying different pick to settle on 1mm thickness as my preference. It took even longer to realize I prefer nylon picks, and then the last step was finding the "Max Grip" textured picks.

Just click to block the channels you don't want recommended. My dad was visiting me and was using my TV to watch youtube. For the next month I was seeing "Cruise Ship Review" channel recommendations. Obviously not as bad a Nazi BS, but still annoying. It took a minute, but I no longer get...

I've never played a gig that "required" patches. Is this a Muse cover band or something?

I generally will have a couple of beers while playing a 4 hour bar set, never getting much more than a little buzz. I once played with a guy that was so drunk he started playing the solo section from the wrong song, so he didn't last. Eventually we had to kick him because he couldn't make...

I think the Ibanez BTB series is 20mm spacing at the bride IIRC

I would just enjoy the band for what it is or quit. No sense trying to give ultimatums to people who are not on the same page as you. This is just a hobby after all right? If you put in all of this time and effort to improve your performance, but the rest of the band kind of wings it, then...

Steve is just really, really good at fretless. He does slide power chords and or double stops often. Another fun trick is sliding harmonics, which can only be done on a fretless.

After buying my ampeg 7 pro, my search was over. I have only purchased my PF350 and my Fender Rumble 500 for practice/small gig amps. Even those were bought used and I have no intention to replace them. For cabinets I've settled on a pair of 8 ohm avatar TB153's of which I only ever use one...

Magneplanar speakers always are paired with a sub in hifi setups (plus a ribbon tweeter usually). The low HZ interfere with the overall response if you try to push the drivers too low. I suppose an instrument amp isn't designed for a hifi "flat" response so maybe this could work. I'd be...

That little tri-tone lick is a classic blues trick to make the bass line sound a little funky. I hear Van Halen use that sometimes.
