Probably either talking bass or shopping bass.

Id have left that bass with your mom’s friend too, it’s quite low quality. The body has character, and that character is the most valuable part of the instrument. Dont spend much if anything

Lol! I don’t know the specifics but Allparts necks are made in Japan and Canada has a local distributor listed.

In case you don’t get the Allparts emails looks like they’re releasing a roasted maple bound and blocked J neck on the 24th. Can’t find the details on the website yet but they look pretty nice and are supposedly a limited run. A couple other guitar-specific models release around that time also.

I’ve run guitar amps sideways so many times the only risk I encountered was scuffing tolex from the urge to slide them around- it’s easier than castor on carpet. Ive had a few heads that were used stacked on end for 6 mo plus, one had a broken handle and got carried sideways too. But there was...

Dead horse now prolly but you can easily rat the speakers out on a 4x10 Bassman with a bass no doubt. The Dual Showman’s with the closed back cabs were much better for bass. Amps and bass speakers don’t mind at all. I like bass practice amps better for guitar than most guitar practice amps for...

My engagement had been waning for various reasons anyway, but the new software didn’t or doesn’t remember my password and I had been too lazy to fix it on my limited downtime. I’ve also seen more and more threads that seem like AI / bots and I refuse to engage them. It’s to the point where I...
