Are you in a band, or are you a waiter?

Get my focus on basics instead of how many notes I can cram in a measure. 5 string guys are not more complex than four string guys. In fact 5-strings are simpler to play allowing transposition by pattern without have to internalize the entire fingerboard. Four strings won't get you to...

What? My picture and request for a number wasn't good enough for you? ;)

Can I get a number?

The BEF and the MBD continue to surprise me with new and usable sounds.

"They suck! I know it! You know it!" Wrong. They work fine. Change for the sake of change is childish. what is your idea of an alternative? What are the benefits?

I depends on the Fender body. Warmoth, nor anyone else that I have found, makes a fretted or fretless neck that fits the current American Jazz Bass Deluxe five-bolt 21 fret.

Needy? Wow. This may be the most wrong thing I have read on the entire internet. This is standard professionalism in any field. There are so many flakes and scumbags in the music biz, demonstrating that you know how to act like an adult, is huge. Any question of your neediness was dispelled...

Why is this more pathetic than a Yes tour? They are playing shows, not running the shuffle-board games.

You do not have to do any of that. If your instrument is too expensive for you to play and treat as you please, then you spent more than you can afford. Instruments are tools, not investments. You should also maintain all your instruments regardless of price.

I plan to make silicone rubber molds from the originals and cast plastic duplicates in a couple of different colors.
