    Double Bass Hogslop String Band at Pickathon

    I had the good fortune to spend last weekend at the Pickathon music festival in Happy Valley, Oregon. So much great music all weekend, this video is from 3am Monday morning, final set of the festival. Hogslop String Band did a completely unplugged set, and I landed front and center. Great band...

    Classic vibes

    Bass VI, crafted in Indonesia. I don't play it a ton, but it's fun when I do! Side note - back in 2015 I bought a Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass (single coil) when MF was blowing them out for two bills. I can't believe how much they're going for now, and they're hard to find!

    Fender Squier Sonic Series

    I just ordered one. I don't need it, but from what I've read it'll likely get a lot of use. Used another MF coupon to save some dough on a sick Coffin Cases purple quilted strap, some GHS Precision Flats and a 30 ft Kirlin coiled cable (also purple) all for 300 bucks and some change. Fingers...

    That's just mean, Fender...

    I used to work music instrument retail with a really funny guy. One time a customer asked how much a certain guitar cost, and my coworker told them. The customer then said "Yeah, well the shop across town said they sell them for 50 bucks less, but they're out of them." Ron's reply: "Oh, well...

    What musical skill could be more impressive?

    That whole live album is amazing, and Dennis Chambers is one of my favorite drummers!

    Fender ads from the mid '70's: what did I buy?

    I have that original Fender catalog, "The Collected Works of Fender" copyright 1976.

    Dating Snarkiness?

    It's hard to date snarkiness exactly, but here's what Gemini AI has to say... The term "snarky" first appeared in writing around 1906, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, but the term "snark" (which is related) has an even earlier origin, with evidence from 1866. While the word itself...

    Steve Grossberg (aka Killing Floor)

    I'll echo many of the sentiments others have shared. Your dad was opinionated but respectful. He had plenty of knowledge and was excited to share it, and was equally interested in the ideas of others. I'm sorry for your loss, he'll be missed here on TalkBass.

    Squier - an interesting history

    My trio of oddball Squiers - all different scale lengths and number of strings. Top to bottom Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass, 4 string 32" scale, 2013 Indonesia, strung with D'Addario Chromes. Dimension Deluxe V, 5 string 34" scale, 2015 Indonesia, strung with D'Addario Pro Steels...

    I dislike the modern social media algorithm

    Make sure you spell his name correctly in the search - Chris Squire Putting "Squier" in it will probably make it think you're searching for the guitar/bass brand.
