    POLL: instrument volume knob settings

    Singing them UPS Blues

    A few years ago I ordered a Mustang bass....and saw where it was out for delivery. Luckily, I was home that day so I waited....around noon the UPS truck slows to a near stop in front of my driveway, only to take off again! *** sez I! Then a few moments later tracking showed it delivered...

    What all Fenders used these humbucker pickups?

    When did you get into bass playing and why?

    I was in 9th grade and wanted an electric guitar so bad I could taste it! So, Christmas I was allowed to get one, but I had to pay for half of it.

    Who uses small combo amps?

    I bought this almost ten years ago. It's a B-15R with 1-15 (no horn). It took a bit for me to get the mid-scoop dialed in *just so*, but after I did, I fell in love with it!

    What bass do you play?

    Hi! Newbie here. I've owned several different basses over the years, but this is the one that I play the most. It was built from parts by me and a friend. The neck is hard rock maple with a rosewood slab. The headstock was a paddle, so it was cut it into that all so famliar shape. Made a decal...
