    Help me plan for winter gigs, taking public transit!

    40 of them. Winnipeg is cold, but at least it's dry. Montreal is nicer temperature wise, but gets icy. Don't overthink it and just accept that sometimes you're better off springing for a taxi than fighting icy sidewalks.

    How much Amp power do you need?

    "How much amp power do you need?". More. The answer is always more.

    The Spector Chronicles...UPS nightmare and 48 hours of hell and a damaged Spector....

    Within Canada, use Purolator or Canada Post. Always. Worst issue I ever had was having one box of a three box delivery end up at a different depot than the other two boxes. They redelivered that third box the next day and were very apologetic about it. EDIT: Also, from US to Canada, try to use...

    Hanging your basses

    Mine are 10 inches from the ceiling. Biggest headstock, Fender bass, clears the ceiling just fine (but I usually hang my lightest guitars the highest). You definately need to go as close to the ceiling as possible so that your bottom row is still over the 30+ inches off the floor they need to...

    Fender Steve Harris 2012 P neck on 2012 MIA body?

    I replaced my P and J Fender necks with Aerodyne Jazz necks. Minimal trimming required on body and PGs. Skills required are more 'guitar tech' and not luthier; be good at setups and minor work before trying.

    NSHBD! (New semi-hollow bass day....Gibson Midtown content!)

    I have heard that repositioning the strap pin to the heel will help with the neckdive issues... but I don't have the guts to try it.

    Gibson Midtown HollowBody

    Neck dive city, I need to buy a suede backed strap. I haven't had a lot of time with it, but sidewinder + fuzz is a whole heck of fun. It's fairly unique sounding, not like a current SG bass, even though it has the same pups (is it the longer scale? different strings from factory? something...

    Gibson Midtown HollowBody

    I've had mine since mid-January. Good to go straight out of the box. No complaints about the finish work, factory set up is good. Neck dives hard as the strap pin is nowhere near the balance point.

    Where to buy a bass in Canada?

    +1 again. I have ordered from them three times. I had a poor communication experience on my first order; my order was backordered, but they never told me and wouldn't respond to my emails. I had to call to get an update and they didn't seem very apologetic. When I did get my order, they threw in...

    AHHHH my poor New Jazz bass! Anyone accidentally beat up their Beautiful basses??

    Those aren't too bad. :bawl: Looks like it was a beautiful bass... at least now you can stop worrying about dings and scratches on your new bass and play that bad boy like you stole it.

    whitch tech 21 will get me high?

    The Leeds adds a boatload of character. I am very happy with mine as well. The Youtubes has some good samples (couple bass samples hidden in the first two): Leeds, Oxford and VT

    Guitar pickups in 4 string bass?

    Just like the old Fender Musicmaster. It won't hurt to try, might like the sound. Might hate it. It'll definately be different that what you're used to...
