    I have Fat Beams on my 55-02. They’re plenty long and I strung them through the body.

    NBD - Schecter Daniel Firth sig

    Got this in a couple days ago: Schecter Daniel Firth Hellraiser Extreme-5 Signature. That’s a mouthful. Probably not for everybody, but this thing ticks a lot of boxes for me. I’m in love with the color, the quilted top, and the satin finish. Even my wife commented on how it looks when she saw...

    NBD - ESP LTD B-1005MS a NG2 alternative?

    I owned one of these and found it very uncomfortable to play down by the first fret; the nut would dig into my hand and it hurt. This thread is making me wish I had tried a little harder to make it work because I really did like how it sounded. Maybe I can track another down and give it another...

    NBD - Schecter Apocalypse C5

    I'm intrigued by the Apocalypse and am close to pulling the trigger on one. Do people in this thread still own theirs? Are you still happy with it? Why/why not? Thanks!

    New Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude Limited 3

    Cool. Makes me feel better to know it's not just me! It's easy enough to play around although mildly annoying, especially on a $3000 instrument. I wonder if it's possible to adjust the max throw of one of the volume knobs so that it stops turning before the volume weirdness happens. That way...

    Great things about the USA Geddy Lee Jazz thread

    Guitar Center says they have these in stock at the time I’m writing this. Someone buy it/them before I fall to temptation.

    No worries, it’s been a long time. I imagine if I had a Fodera I’d stop playing everything else too. Thanks for taking the time.

    New Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude Limited 3

    This is an old thread, but seems like the most active one so apologies for the odd place to ask a question... I just picked up one of these last week in black and for the most part I'm loving it. I am noticing what I perceive to be an issue and I'm curious if it's unique to this bass. This is...

    Dad looking for new dad bass

    My wonderful wife got me a bass for my birthday that just isn’t clicking for me (LTD B-1005MS) so, with her blessing, I’m planning on returning it to Guitar Center for credit and getting something else. That’s where your advice comes in. After a flurry of selling last year to make room for kid...
