    Sire Bass Club!

    I prefer 4’s, but I’ve played lots of 5’s, and my P6 fiver neck is definitely one of the easiest to get around. More comfortable than even my Ibanez SRs. Maybe it’s the rolled edges. And mine is spot on 8lbs, so yeah. Oh, you’re looking for someone to talk you OUT of it? Never mind, then. 😉

    Any readily available 5 string basses that don't weigh the equivalent of 2 and a half semi trucks on top of a whale?

    My Sire P6 fiver is 8lbs even. This might help - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/time-to-tell-the-truth-how-much-does-your-bass-weigh.409213/

    Are club cover bands dead?

    Not dead around Philly either, although the tribute bands seem to be getting more attention from the nicer venues. And a few of the bars we used to play have converted to DJs, Quizzo etc.

    Since there seem to be a few Bonnie riders here, file this under mildly interesting… a highly unscientific analysis of my 2022 T120 exhaust volume: first with no mufflers (slash-cut tips only), then with factory mufflers re-installed. I used an iPhone audio app, 1M and 45deg from the pipe...

    (On behalf of the owner, my bud Mojo) Thanks! It’s a brute, no manners. And I wouldn’t dream of riding at high speeds, of course, but …no bad at all 😎

    FYI… I recently got my Rider Coach certification from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation — been instructing the Basic Rider Course (a two-day course free here in Pennsylvania, USA). It’s been more challenging than expected, a lot to know - but a very positive experience so far. Cheers and stay...

    Shockingly, I found a use for Bomber - I blended it with some phaser and blasted it at the end of our cover of '99 Luftballoons'. The crowd loved it. I agree with prior comments re the presets being overwhelming in quantity, exaggerated, etc. And I've found, unsurprisingly, that they react...
