    Didn't realize there's a subtle sparkle/fleck until I saw your pics. Thanks for taking such good pics, I'm much more excited to get it now.

    @donkeygrl did you ever swap out the pickguard? I just picked up a 5h on fleabay. I was gassing for the jackpot or candyman but scored a deal.

    This is good to know, I'm always on the hunt for a b-15. I just picked up a board on reverb that has the origin effects bass rig super vintage pedal as well as the cali76 compact. Looking forward to putting that through the paces, especially with the PJB briefcase for stages with a small...

    I'm so sorry. I'm looking to exit teaching if I can find a job. Just passed my first IT certification.

    and i agree about the headroom, plenty of clean volume against the two tube combos my guitarists are hauling. Actually had to turn it down, and while i like it loud too, I'm a reasonable man and I like to keep my bandmates and audience happy. I like the sound of the band more than the sound of...

    That benson was fun to play through and you guys rocked. How are the district budget cuts affecting you? They have me at two schools next year.

    Thank you! We had just opened up for Freedy Johnston's band a month ago, and they backlined the rhythm section for the night. I'd gotten to play through Tom's V4-B and 4x10. He gave me free reign to mess with any of his settings, and i didn't touch a thing. It reminded me how much I love...

    I just bought one off of craigslist that had 15 hours of play time and no gigs, with a Tuki for 1400. So, 12 years ago I had a bad accident and now I walk with a cane and I can manhandle it while I wear a backpack gig bag. I also bought casters off of amazon because my local hardware store...

    Picked up a jmj and wondering about the AweSome tone control mod

    [This invalid link has been removed] I was really impressed with every jmj I've come across in stores for a while now, and I lucked into one in a pawn shop and couldn't resist, and I didn't have a solid body, so what's a bassist to do? I took it to rehearsal yesterday (yeah, we're being safe...

    Short Scale / Long Scale can they tell?

    They notice body size more. My hofner, yeah people comment on the size of it. When I had an EB-2, not one comment at all.

    Big Bass, Small Body/Small Bass, Big Body (Photos)

    My lakland looks right on me, but i've been playing my hofner alot more, and at 5'10, 240, i'm sure that looks a little silly, but it doesn't aggravate the tendonitis as much. I'll try and scare up a pic.
