Not much going on here... Started band PA upgrades then my jeep decided that its motor was no longer for this world... so I've been dealing with THAT. Band 1 is going well, Band 2 wants to get shows going, but I have a couple more songs to get down to a good point before that happens, then I...

I didn't do too much here for holidays, played video games a lot and took the engine mostly apart in my jeep. Even played bass a little bit... My metal band had a xmas even jam which was a blast, felt good to turn up with those dudes after being away from em for a month. We have a bunch of new...

haha, yeah. Same world. lemme say that its an industry that you dont want to transition in, but seems to be ok post transition. Its dumb like that. At least all my sf-86 related stuff went through with no problems, so, another minor victory moving forward.

Very nice! I'm in that field if you want/need to vent about the more annoying aspects of this field.

mmmmmm zombie thread... that said, always fun to chill with other fine folks who understand the low end.

Its worth it for the tone imo. It also looks worse than it actually is, but, considering this is my main bass, it sees a TON of play time. I'm pretty sensitive to nickel so finding some strings that didn't turn my hands black or give me a rash was a challenge and my options these days are pretty...

hahahahaha. Yep. Actually I'm looking for a case atm for my Nano+ pedal board. I'm trying to move from soft cases all together given how much I'm dragging my stuff all over the Bae Area.

I have a few pelicans for other gear, a 1600 for misc crap and a 1750 for my P bass. I VASTLY prefer pelican or skb for cases. With this one, well, I needed something immediately to get the amp and its somewhat tattered bag out of the rain. For that purpose, it works great.

I ended up having the shaft on two of the 5 tuners breaking. One broke like six months ago and I replaced just that one.. then the second let go and I opted to replace all of em. I'm not a big fan of the willis knobs, but they worked ok for the most part... I like the Gotohs a lot more though...

Got some new gotoh machine heads for my slightly beat up GWB35 and generally got it slightly more cleaned up and reset up with some new strings and some much needed love. Some new prosteel 50-145s makes me happy on this beast, lol. This bass has been my main player for a few years now and I...

Finally got around to snagging a new case for my R500 head as had to borrow a truck (all my gear in the back) due to my jeep being… unhappy. So far this HF case has been keeping everything nice and dry with all the rain we’ve been getting recently.

If there wasn't at least one murder ballad I'd be pretty disappointed.

Yep. And we've been losing all kinds of venues here in the past decade as well.

Gonna be a lot for me this coming year. A lot of $$ will be going into a new PA and then I really really want to get a nicer multiscale bass than the one I have. I might need to pick up a new amp head or a backup depending on what happens with shows coming up... and... I've been moving to an...

Love the shirt idea, its silly, a little dumb in the good way, but sounds like a great fam/friends/band in-joke. I'd spend money on something like that, You'll probably sell all of them faster than you'd expect.
