Being a lefty, I don't often get the luxury of being able to play basses before I buy them.

There was an interview with Mark Sandman where the interviewer rudely asked Mark why he only played with two strings, and didn't he find that limiting to his creativity, and he responded something to effect of: "I should only play with one string but the second is just for extravagance". Just...

This is ever-so-slightly off-topic but I think I may have actually played the bass in the Elderly listing. About ten years ago Willie's American Guitars in St Paul MN had a 1960 P Bass for sale in their shop and I remember the pickguard had a piece missing in the exact same spot and the overall...

OP: show me pictures of brown basses that are NOT brown because of wood-staining Everybody: posts pictures of wood-stained basses

After two of my basses were stolen, I've put airtags in all of my bass' control cavities. I use sticky-tack to affix them and have had zero issues with noise or anything else. Definitely recommend.

For some reason the acid in the bathtub scene from Breaking Bad came to mind...

Ooh that's purty, I love the shape of the pickguard

That looks awesome! However, I am preemptively wincing at the thought of how many people you are going to blind in the audience at a show reflecting all the stage lighting into their eyes.

I bought a lefty jaguar bass (not available lefty in the states) from a shop in Japan a while back - I waited until the dollar was strong against the yen, called the shop in the middle of the night to reach them during business hours, and got passed around on the phone until I got in contact...

Oh man I am still trying to figure that out. We definitely have a master volume, master blend, 3 band eq with one of them acting as a filter, and a tone that acts as an active-passive switch.

Yeah its a big single in the neck and dual coil 5 in the bridge position, pretty unique.

Just picked up a used Elwood L fiver, holy smokes this bass is impressive - the tone, the versatility, playability, and dear god the light weight is a life-saver.
