Me too! What a laugh!

Compressor is my fave. MB Compressore.

The Shrubbers. Kind of a Monty Python reference. Our guitar players wife looked out the window and said " the Shrubbers are here" and it stuck. When that dissolved one of the band members said he was going on a hiatus and wouldn't be playing anymore. So we called the next band Hiatus.

A skeleton walks into a bar. Orders a beer and a mop...

Black Belt in goju ryu Karate. 6 years.

Everyone pitches in to load gear in and out, regardless of who brought what. The drum kit takes one trip because everyone has their hands full. After a gig, it's packed up fast and we can all relax.

Listen to the well intentioned masses! None of the people responding to the OP have anything to gain or lose, but they're all saying the same thing - don't contour it, don't refinish it. Fretwork if it's needed is fine, that's maintenance. If it needs repairs or replacements, do them as close...

Little Mark III and a 210 Traveller cabinet to go with it. Just love the sound and it's way lighter than the Yorkville YBA-200 I was using. Sounds better too.

I'm an electrical engineer working in the power industry. I love playing bass because it's so far from what I do during the day.
