    Tube Preamp and Second Cab for Ampeg Micro VR

    Well, here it is! And I must say to all my fellow Micro VR owners that I HIGHLY recommend getting the second cab; it sounds a lot better and it has a lot more power.

    the official "Show your basses" thread part 13!

    Custom J Bass. This thing is almost done, but I am waiting on my neck to arrive from Warmoth. It's a a Warmoth swamp ash standard J body with Lindy Fralin Vintage Jazz pickups, a Leo Quan Bad Ass III bridge, Schaller strap locks, and a bunch of Fender hardware. I routed it for a Stratocaster...

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    When did the smoke clear? While I was out to dinner instead of monitoring every word that was said on here? If you are going to accuse me of something, do yourself a favor and kindly come up with something that actually makes sense. ;) Yes, I did check back out of morbid curiosity...

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    I am not aware of any "big words" that I used... if you disagree, I think that says more about you than me. But at any rate, I am THOROUGHLY bored with this thread, because nothing is happening now besides the perpetual rehashing of everyone's original points. It doesn't seem that there is any...

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    Ok, well if anyone has enough cash to buy a "vintage" Fender decades from now (though I hope my bass will stay in the family), I would certainly hope they would have the sense to check the neck stamp and the serial number (which is rather conspicuously absent); without the serial, there is no...

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    What has it drawn out of me? I am just telling it like it is; folks can disagree if they want, that's what discussion forums are for, but the amount of people who have mounted their respective soapboxes has just gotten egregious. :)

    I am not throwing stones, I am just amazed at the level of sermonizing (as opposed to equitable discourse) that this thread has drawn out of some folks.

    Have you ever driven over the speed limit... or burned a CD from a friend... or fileshared... or jaywalked... or ran a stop sign... or smoked a joint... or had three beers and gotten behind the wheel... ? Don't be throwing the first stone, son! :)

    Fender Decals On Non-Fender Basses

    You people and your character judgements... I said what I have to say; I put the decal on there because it looks stupid without it, that's pretty much it. No one thinks it came from the Fender factory, because I have told them otherwise. My children will know the story behind this bass, and if...

    Fender Decals On Non-Fender Basses

    Well, I am tempted to have it buried with me because it is so insanely beautiful I don't ever want to part with it... but are you honestly going to lose sleep over the distant fate of a bass that you will never even see? :)

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    I really think that there is a more pertinent question that arises at this juncture... one that I have pondered mightily today. And that is this: is it more annoying to be stuck wearing trousers that are too tight, or too baggy?

    Ahh, nothing like the triumph of the subjective. ;)

    If Fender decals are so horrible, what about Warmoth using Fender headstock shapes?

    No, you are just dogmatically assuming that your "answer" is indelibly, irrevocably, and ubiquitously correct and just in 100% of all circumstances across the universe and beyond. :)
