Well, going out on a limb as "light" is as relative a term as "big"....(having two X chromosomes, you already knew that), I will be the odd man out here, but a Roland DB210, and DB115x at about 50 lbs. each pack a great deal of punch for the dollar. They are not small, but for the weight the...

It is generally about being trapped. You can stop a bus or car and get off....you are trapped in a cigar tube and can go nowhere. Combine that with control issues and you have a recipe for a bonafide, Marge Simpson panic attack. Window or aisle seat, board first or early and control your...

"Anthem of the Heart and Anthem of the mind"....I'll be fine once I figure how the hell to climb down off this soapbox!

Well, American coffee would be hard to find here in Switzerland where I live, even if it did grow in commercial quantities in North America. But when the green beans are imported into the US and roasted in American facilities (hell roast them up by you in Canada for all I care) I see no...

There is a special room in hell for the copycat, and with any luck that room is filled with razor blades and lemon juice. Whether you copy a Rick or a Ritter, you are a lazy prick who has stolen the effort and design of someone who has worked very hard at what they do. The copycat is nothing...

Nice looking amp!

Old thread, but "Jimmy crack corn". I just picked up a lace Neck through four on a whim. After some metal work on the saddles to get the action playable...holy crap....I love this bass! Maybe it's just new...but the other dozen are getting a lot of wall time these days. The tone is unique...

Well, the new strings didi the trick. Ridiculous what a set of elixirs cost here (over$70) but problem solved. The old strings sounded crisp, it must ave been rubbish. Thanks for the help. No photo, no bass!

Thanks folks, will search around here in Switzerland for whatever passes as a Guitar Center and pick up new strings. Thanks for the witness point check suggestion....all fine. It was odd that I had to file the saddles, but....did. Will post if the strings are the fix. It's definitely not...

Sorry, E and G strings if it makes any difference.

Hey folks! I was gassing for a Lace Helix NT for a while...didn't need yet another bass but found one in perfect shape on the bay. When I got it home to Zurich, I found the action was intolerably high. The adjustable saddle inserts bottomed out (and no option to shim a neck through). I...

Just sent you an email....

Where would you be shipping from? Payment method? Time to ship?

All components functioning? No issues?

I bought 4 Minotaur straps this summer, three with padding/stitching and one without. All three with stitching are coming unstitched around the second strap-hole from the bottom. Seeing as I am not a bloody seamstress, have had to crazy glue the stitching to keep it from running further...
