    NBD: Gibson Thunderbird

    Is this aged white, or was it originally a cream color?

    NBD - Fender Meteora Player Plus Bass Silverburst

    I normally play it on a leg on a stool with a strap backup, I'm not really a standing player. I think it balances ok that way, doesn't seem to want to tilt one way or another. Could be an illusion, but not having a lower horn makes you hand feel real open on the higher frets. Flatter neck (12"...

    NBD - Fender Meteora Player Plus Bass Silverburst

    Ok, the choices I had to compare are Fender Player Jazz and a Stingray Special 5 since they both have round wounds albeit with some wear. Note there are much better people with sound/tone out of a bass so take this information knowing this, just my opinion. The Meteora has more of a clearer...

    NBD - Fender Meteora Player Plus Bass Silverburst

    I've grown more fond of the metallics these days. I would have likes the Tequila Sunrise, but every time I looked at it I would know the first thing in peoples mind would be clownburst. I also like the sure thing of a maple neck vs. whatever the gods of Pau Ferro will bestow on you.

    Please Succinctly Give Me a Rundown History of Sterling Stingrays

    Trust me I get that all the time on calling tech support for companies which are in America. Basically calls go to some staging area oversees which take down all the information then patch it through to the US. Then, I actually get a tech support agent and then have to repeat all the information...

    2022 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees Selected

    When a band gets in, but with an obviously frontman, say like Bon Jovi, are the actual members of the band in as well? Or are they simply treated as the entity of Bon Jovi, if you're in the band at the time you're working for a HoF band? If they are is there an obviously decision on which band...

    Basses with Birdseye Maple Fingerboards!

    From Ibanez EHB1005SMS - posted for sample of Roasted Birdseye Maple since the neck is specific to the series.

    Need to refinish it to look like Cheshire's smile.

    My Number One

    You can see on the fretboard where the bass has made its money. I aspire to have a fretboard with such wear.

    NBD - Fender Meteora Player Plus Bass Silverburst

    OK, I have officially gone weird looking bass, and it's a Fender shaped object. Could not resist both the weirdness and a 4 year no-interest financing. Right now in the process of setting it up and playing it for practice. Unfortunately due to neighbors can't crank it up hopefully will get...

    Guitar Center Changes Their Logo

    Any press is advertising they don't have to pay for. At least until they have to update all that signage.

    Guitar Center Changes Their Logo

    Why do I have the feeling that the executive that approved the Brewers logo took a look at it, said "Cool, a baseball mitt."
