Nice bass. I dig that pick guard. You are a lucky guy.

I like the "driving a stick shift", thing to learn. I have never owned a car that is an automatic. I was poor growing up so there were times I needed to push start my car. Those days are long gone but I still enjoy driving manual transmission vehicles. I joke about kids my oldest daughter's age...

I have a G30 and bought an extra transmitter. I only ran into issues in my music room/office. In that room is my high speed data router with a 2.4 and 5Ghz wireless access point. Wireless access points run rough shod on the G30. I use both my transmitters while at a gig. I use one for my upright...

I have a 1947 M-1. It was my first double bass and I still play it today. I picked it up for $500. A screaming deal. However, make note that some Kays have issues with the neck lifting out of the neck pocket. I experienced this issue but was lucky enough to have a friend reset the neck for me...

Ah yes advice on strings and tone and etc... Of course everything offered is relative and will suit each individual's tastes but i might as well chime in on this one since I have a Kay as well. I put a set of D'Addario Zyex Light Tension on my Kay. I am mostly Americana, and Bluegrass pizzicato...

Welcome to TB and you have come to a good place for info. I have played the Rondo SX series and for the money, it is a good bass. Someone already gave the sage advice of getting it setup and put new strings on. I will say that the Squire basses are amazing for the money. I played a few that...

I have learned a lot here but the one thing that really sticks out is that the people here have a great sense of humor. Good sarcasm stop for me in the day.

You know I am right there with you on that. I find taking a perfectly nice looking bass and making it look like it was owned by a person without pride of ownership, AKA reliced, is just silly. I mean, who goes out and buys a brand new car and sandpapers the finish to make it look like it has...

What? No 11?

After listening to a few clips posted here, I now know why I have never heard of djent.

I have the Line 6 G30. I have gigged with it on both my Fender Am. Deluxe Jazz, which is both passive or active with the flip of a switch and my Kay Double Bass. Frequency response is all there for both instruments, IMO. The only issue with the GXX series is that it is 2.4Ghz and wireless...

I don't use pedals really well. It took me years to figure out how to not use them proficiently. ;)

I have said this a few times here. I am really sick of slap when I hear someone telling me to listen to, "this awesome bass player." Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate slap and the skill to play it competently. I am not very good at it so I may be enamored with it based on that alone, but...

Their response would most likely be, "it's jazz man, you just don't get it." LOL
