I think a gig bag would save some weight. Where's the fiver, 12 string and fretless ? Wall hanger ? Can Pete Townsend do a windmill on it ? They probably cut a few bodies to check measurements, the necks are laying around anyways, and only one output jack.

I'll add in the Three's Company theme. Also, on the first page of the thread there's the Good Times theme, the ending credits list Jay Leno as 'the young man', he was also on an episode of Laverne & Shirley.

Well looky there, that's the exact bass I have ! Bought it new in 2013 from local retailer. Fantastic right outta the box, nothing wrong with it and not even a blemish...100%. Though the fret ends do stick out a tiny bit, you can feel them but it does not bother me. The paint finish is very...

Sometimes what helps me is tapping your foot in half time. The song you speak of is on Songster, and the passage is four groups of triplets, tempo is 150 bpm. Instead of playing each group on each beat, play at ~70 bpm then play the first set of triplets on the down beat and the second set on...

Would it be worth it, if a manufacturer could make touch up paint for your instrument and include it with all the other case candy ? They paint hundreds of bass with the same colour, then hundreds more of another colour etc. Say, something the size of a liquid paper bottle or nail polish with...

I've bought several items at L&M and Cosmo Music in the last few years; 2 amps and 2 axes, brand new. I recently put in an order for a new small amp and gave a down payment only to see the recycling fee ($5) on the bill for the first time. I didn't think this fee would affect music gear. Anyone...

I have a 1B with maple fretboard. Bought it new at Steve's Music (Toronto) in 1988 for $629 and was my first bass. No box, no case candy, no nothing. I remember walking down the street with it in a Yamaha box. I remember it as white, but now it's that 'yellowy' kinda colour even though I don't...

I've never been interested in hangers. I keep my axes in their cases with latches closed.

Due the the continuing warm weather, my TB snow flakes are melting before they reach the bottom of my monitor ! <--- Neil is wearing a Christmas tree !!!

LaVS was transcribed by Andy Aledort in Guitar FPM in Dec 1991. He also wrote the column Performance Notes which says this time reference passage at 3:45, "This entire solo is based on the A Aeolian mode". There are other references to the other solos played in this song.

Watching some of the R40 YT vids, AL's various Marshall configurations are neat and tidy, but GL's various configs remind me of Tetris.

I'm fearful of the potential comment of "It's just a scratch, can hardly tell it's there !" So the answer is a very firm NO. I don't ask others if I can play their stuff.

I'm going to make one. I have a piece of wood, some nails and those thick elastics that hold broccoli bunches together.

I always prefer to buy new gear, brand new in box. I just don't trust the 'like new' or 'barely used' statements. Not all boxes are sealed, like Boss pedals that just lift off. If I have to order something from a retailer, I mention to them not to open the box unless I'm there to see it. Last...

Ditch the stool and strap, maybe what you need is something more comfortable to sit on. Zero weight on your neck and shoulders is better than hanging a 10 lbs slab of wood on it. You wrote this thread sitting in front of your computer, is that chair comfy for playing bass seated ? If yes, bring...
