I got the same bass not long ago. I love the Dropped Copper color, but like you I wasn't a fan of the white pickguard. I just kept it simple and went with Tort, which was already made and fit perfectly. I think it looks much better so I can't imagine doing anything different. Maybe an exact...

Same, same, and same here! Still in a surf band, and playing Beatles in another.

To get my money's worth... Thick As A Brick - Tull

Yeah, I'm old...

Same here, mostly. Back in the early 80's the family and career needs had clear priority. So I gave up bands, thinking it was forever. I even sold off all of my gear, including my prized Rickenbacker 4001. Turned out it was only a 33 year break. Now retired and kids gone I got back in. I'm...

Longview by Green Day. You can use something like that to stall as long as you want.

In the mid-60's, THE place to go was Joo's Music in Lynnwood, WA (a few miles north of Seattle). They had everything! The whole line of blackface Fenders, Vox stuff, all the guitars and basses you could imagine. Anything you could want to drool over during the British Invasion was there, and...

Yeah I'm from Eugene. Great town, but non-existent music scene. The people here just don't get it, never have, never will.

Agree. I was shocked how much volume and gorgeous tone I got out of a MarkBass CMD121P, and have it be a small cube under 30 pounds. For outdoors and large venues I have the matching New York 121 extension cab to stack it on (giving me 500 watts) and I can haul them easily with one in each...

I got one of these a year ago and love it. The reason I got it is a little unusual. One of the bands I play in is a surf band, and we all use surf green Fenders. Mine was a J (because I love the Jazz neck) but I prefer the P for everything else. Anyway GC had this one hanging on the top rack...

I too used Chromes on all my basses. They sounded great new but the tone got dull quickly. Like most of you, I was put off by the high price of TI's. But my Geddy Lee Jazz Bass had a thin neck so I was looking for something with a little less tension. After finding a big discount code at...

Moby Grape. Their debut LP was great end-to-end but unfortunately everything they did after that sucked.
