    Did You Stop Gigging for a While and How Long?

    I have wanted a break to rebuild when I am ready. Now I'm figuring out what's best for my interests and taking it slow with talking to like minded players. I'm not in a group playing. Carry on!

    Quilter? Anybody know this brand?

    I had my Bass Dock 12 in the next room while moving it around, so I'm sharing a photo. It's so cool to carry the BB like an integrated back pack. Ditto from me on the performance.

    Etiquette of quitting

    I got my notice today. Just exactly like my being on the fence deciding on continuing with the cover band, it's that mix of emotion from being cut and the relief that I can put it behind. There's some justice in all this even though it feels like a passive result. Time to reflect and make more...

    Shipping Basses Survey

    Compared to full shipping cost, if you have to spend it all without any balancing from buyer contribution, insurance in the value amount is a small price considering everything that can go wrong once the package leaves your hands.

    Fender Chrome Red (early 2000s): same as Candy Apple Red?

    I wouldn't be surprised you can no longer find Chrome Red. The finish seemed to have a hard stop maybe around 10 + years ago. Kind of a subtle difference to CAR.

    Need pickguard suggestions please

    I'm with mint or parchment. They are easy and pleasy and you don't have to be troubled with the tort.

    Pick Guard Suggestions | 50s Style P Bass (also NBD yay)

    I've always liked the anodized guards but have never installed one. Totally refreshing to get away from plastic and it's thickness.

    Bassist Expectations

    I'm getting together for 3rd time with a band that leans strong to Greatful Dead. I will plan to serve to meet a gig commitment but will need to break off as the direction is not going to be anything I commit to. Kind of strange to me to make an early break but it's for the best. I will learn...

    Upgrade from my trusty Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 combo?

    I would jump on a Peavey Mini Max. I miss mine. Genz Benz fan myself.

    Challenges related to Custom Boutique basses and builders?

    Phil Lesh imitation playbook

    I see the bassmusician magazine "welcome to the Phil zone" and it's kind of strung out and trippy, so I'm just adding that this inquiry isn't like taking a vitamin. But is there some vitamin A?

    Phil Lesh imitation playbook

    Hey, against my better judgment I am covering several Dead songs this weekend. Most of what what he does seems pretty clear to understand. To me, it's running up and back to the octave a lot, but are there some hacks that might help?

    When will Fender release their 2024 stuff

    I can't keep up with the series lines already introduced, and I haven't been gassed up on them.
