It would definitely be hard to keep the neighborhood kids off your Emo lawn.

It looks like a $6000 dollar fender T-40 to me.

I guess I'm a little different because guitar is my primary instrument and I'm pretty good at it but I couldn't find enough work to pay my bills so I picked up a bass for 250 and an amp for 100 and responded to some bass ads on CraigsList. Also I don't like any expensive basses. Thankfully I...

I concur. My brother's Tribute L2500 is a beast.

I know someone fixing up a bass like that. I wondered if it was really a bass or a Tenor guitar. I guess it is a bass.

Maybe your action is too high or maybe you can get lighter gauge strings for your bass. Get going with easier to play strings and put the old set back on when you've built up some strength. It worked for me. It sucks starting out with badly set up stuff. That's my 2 cents.

I just got some info that we'll definitely be in Bluefield at Mitchell Stadium. Should be a good time. We're backing up a few impersonators. On another note, I'm giving my bass to the singer to bring up since he is driving. That will save me some headache of bringing my bass on a plane.

I've always liked the Old Danelectro Double neck 6/4 since I saw Nigel Tufnel use one in the video for "Listen To The Flower People". YouTube - Spinal Tap-Listen to the Flower people

I don't know if this changes anything but its not a direct flight. We have a layover in NC. I'm a little more concerned about them losing my bass then damaging. I was jumping on the old injection molded peavey case today to see if it'd hold up and it seems sturdy.

I'm not sure but i'm going to say Bluefield because thats where Gretchen Wilson is playing and she is suppose to be Headlining this shindig. But again, I'm not positive. We fly into Charleston for what its worth. It's my first time going to West Virginia so I don't know much.

I'm flying out of Orlando to WV for a country gig. I'm wondering if anyone has any comforting stories or tips about checking a bass as luggage. I got an old Peavey Foundation with the original case. Anyone think it would survive baggage handlers? I got it specifically because its a solid sturdy...

My brother had a Peavey T-40. That is why I was intrigued by this bass. His T-40 was killer. My dad's first bass was a T-40. He got it so he could be like Chris Squire. I'm not sure how he figured but he has great stories about walking 5 miles in the snow with that heavy thing. You know the Five...

Check out the headstock on this one. Looks classy

I'm not feeling any buyer's remorse yet so I must have made a good choice!

It was the orlando lee rd samash. My uncle lives near there so we always go to the music stores when I come up. If this was your bass, could you tell me if the knobs are original. The bridge pickup volume knob looks different than the neck volume and tone.
