I don't think the fact that it is for a vet is missed by the guitarist. Perhaps his own military experience makes the environment somewhere he'd rather not be - for any multitude of reasons. Of course I have no idea what is actually going on; but, PERSONALLY I'd be sensitive to and respect the...

It should be noted that the OP is not talking about the standard MTD Kingston models (the Z, Artist, Saratoga, CRB or Heir) but the ZX5 which has Bartolini electronics and pickups. As opposed to the general opinion about the Kingston models, the electronics are not a weak point on the ZX5. I...

About a month ago (just before this thread started) I picked up two of these units when they were $115.99 a Weekly Big Deal at Zzounds. Then last week I was refunded $16 for each unit when they were the New Day New Deal at American Musical supply for $99.99. I am impressed with the unit. It...

Same for me. I use the MS as a preamp then the B3 for on/off type effects. This works well for me because, as nataku33 said, I find changing patches on the B3 to be a pain in live situations unless there is time between songs. It is not possible to change patches on the B3 during a song...

Perhaps someone with more reliable information will reply, but I think Mr. Miller has a new venture that does not involve Fender. To my knowledge, Fender no longer makes Marcus Miller basses, but it is a recent development and some still sit available new in stores. It was being discussed...

Personally, I play better - or perhaps better said, I begin to actually let Him play through me.

Although it would be a little odd to not care about what is said in a thread one starts, I can't say wether the OP cares or not; but, I do count 5 topics started this year, and 20-ish posts since October of this year. EDIT: Actually, my numbers are off too, but he had been active. OP: Please...

Thank you Crystalman85. I think I am on to something with your advice in combination with a reply on the MS-60B thread.

You never know who your next customer is. For luthiers, it could be anyone on this site. In fact, it's a pretty good bet that a bass luthier's next customer is a member here. I, for one, do intend to purchase my first full custom within the next 18 months (we'll see if that actually happens)...

Thanks jumblemind. It is definitely in the ballpark. Now I'll have to see if I can dial it in without finding myself on the far end of the parking lot!

I am hoping someone can help me with a patch to emulate this tone because I am clueless. Not only am I clueless, but I feel as though I am fighting an uphill battle since my P is strung with flats and I’ll be playing my MTD ZX loaded with Barts. This tone is far from what I usually use, but...

lol . . . your right, you win! I was just posting a link with links to the show as was requested a few posts before mine in this thread. And besides, can there really be too many threads on the topic of Homer playing bass? Personally, I think not. Best episode in years!
