To quote Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, “Missed it by that much.” I just pulled the trigger on this ‘70s Jazz and a pair of cream colored ones would have looked great! Oh well, next year.

I like the horizontal look too, that might be cheaper. The funko pops on top is also a cool idea! I have the album art frames too. I will need the closet for sax storage and case storage. I used wire shelves in the place.

I'm considering getting some sheets of maple plywood, drilling them into studs, then putting my Hercules Stands attached to the plywood. There's also these stands that attach to wall rails. I will probably put a coat of lacquer or tung oil on the maple. What do you have that works in your...

So I've been GASsing for a long time for a 70's funk machine: Ash body, 70's pickup spacing. I'm thinking of getting a Sire, because Fender just does not make a 70's pickup spacing bass in Ash, unless it's a reissue with a 3 bolt neck (NO THANKS) and I think the Sire looks like my best choice...

Ooooh, orange suede. I wonder if it’s kangaroo leather. That would be amazing! Thanks.

Just picked up an Orange O bass, in bright orange, of course! It’s a baseball bat wide neck with a dinky body, so I need some kind of strap with extra grip to try to prevent the ridiculous neck dive. It sure is fun to look at and play, but I could never use it for more than a song or two, maybe...

Yes, why is there no Phil Lynott? Every bassist that is lead singer should have one! Except maybe Blackie Lawless because he was never committed to bass.

I’m just getting back into playing bass again. I’ve been rehearsing with a jazz singer and he’s going to try to book it as a show band with either option: rhythm section or entire 22 piece jazz orchestra. So I’ve been watching Class D amps and thinking of going to a 12” cabinet + Class D amp...

I hope you learned your lesson. I’m a JHS band director for over 25 years now. I only let the kids touch a Mexican Made Jazz, even the Korean made Jazz 24 is off limits, they will bend the posts, or drain the battery leaving the jack plugged in overnight. If your school won’t fund a purchase...

I'm still waiting to hear from Peavey. I have a Fury neck, I'm not sure if the holes will match up, and the neck is 21 frets with same shape. Can you take pics with a ruler of the neck pocket and the drilled holes?

Can you measure the neck pocket and the screw holes? I may have a neck with a squared heel that may work.

I thought the same thing, that a rosewood neck would look and maybe sound better. I thought a brown tort guard would look great. Please post picks when you're done.

Oops, with the gig bag it's $764. Anyway still a good deal to me.

I just bought the honeyburst finish one today. I missed the $699 deal, but I got 15% off, so it cost me $740 with the gig bag. I don't know about the other colors, but this hand applied finish is thin and the bass is very resonant. The neck is thin and smooth with the satin finish. Setup and...

I've had the Schallers and they're good, but they did fall apart on me on the road during a show. You can just use them with a regular strap without the straplock top, so if someone else wants to use their own strap, it can still work. I've now been using the flush mount Dunlops and have no...
