Thanks for the reminder!

Interesting question. I think for me it was Awaiting on You All by George Harrison.

Yeah it seems young people want to write definite songs more than ever. Precious jam time is forfeited because now it’s easier to get some fame (or at least gimme some attention!) and money at local parties or on Bandcamp. But the greater problem is that world is not as jam-friendly anymore...

I’ve had two of Jimmy's fine Landing basses. Also a Pittsburgh area native but in VA now. This bass is a work of beautiful simplicity and sound. 32” scale fits like a glove. First one was a 31” and sold me on the scale and the brand. I agree that shortscale has been catching on. Makes me wish...

I picked up a Goliath too (my post below) Nice to have the new tone and the extra punch.

Mine is pretty much perfect for what I need. I can hang with the drummer on volume. Or drown him out if I thought it was necessary. I acquired the extension cabinet last year on Reverb and this let me bring the original combo from 250W to 400W. It’s got a great sound and is very adjustable...

I remember Esperanza with the California Blonde.

A single ply flat black! Really let’s the natural wood grain finish pop.

Mert (Short for Marty) Got it from a music friend, who is called Kid Flushboy.

Good creativity, man!

I'd like to be certified as a satisfied short scale spanker... getting a bridge upgrade from it's builder Jimmy Wilson: 1993 Landing L-1 30.5 scale Made in Pittsburgh, PA Obtained on TalkBass forum played thankfully

'93 Landing L-1. Made by Mr. Jimmy Wilson in Steeler country. It has a hipshot string-thru bridge now.

I had an old one that wasn't getting played and I took on a fun project...converting it to fretless.. and doing an "unusual" kind of finish. ...and replaced with used tuners and new pots. all pretty easy stuff. Even made my own fretpuller pliers. total cost was really low and it gets played now!

or at least
