    Is blues a dying art?

    If blues is dead, I don't know what Tab Benoit is playing. :hiding:

    Decent amp set ups for playing smaller gigs?

    Not familiar with the Rumble 150, but I have played the Rumble 75 a good bit and it seems to be decent for its price. I will say that 410s are often unwieldy and and heavy. That Fender weighs in at nearly 80 pounds. If you are going to be gigging and moving it often, that could get pretty...

    Fender needs to make a Talkbass edition

    And it would have to go through the classifieds repeatedly, listed as "Great bass, I love it, but I have to thin the herd". :D

    Knobs that look good AND are functional

    Anybody put chicken head knobs on a bass? I think black ones with a white guard would look pretty sweet.

    Custom Viola Bass with Line 6 Variax Transplant

    That is a piece of art. Absolutely beautiful work.

    New Vox Basses

    Get rid of the speaker and all its appurtenances and I would want one. They are too toy-like. Just knobs for volume and tone and it would be pretty cool.

    The Combo SWR Should Have Made...

    I like it. I'd buy one. It would be perfect for church/coffeehouse/practice type things, with the right amount of power and still good tone.

    What did you pay for your MAIN stage rig?

    About 650-700 between my Hartke HA 5500 and SWR Goliath 3, both bought used and shopped around. For what it is and what I want it for, it works just fine. Although I must admit to coveting some of the "RIGS-O-DOOM" that pop up hear on Talkbass.

    Double Bass Recommendations for earbuds for wife that plays bass?

    @ Damon- Sol Republic makes a pair of headphones that sounds good to my ears and has a cord that can be unplugged from the phones and replaced. Neat feature IMHO.

    MY Custom Thinderbird!!!

    I'm a sucker for an interesting lefty bass. There just aren't enough of them. I'd love to see a pic.:bassist:

    Why your Bass opinions are important:

    I understand the pain that the other lefties mentioned. I wish devoutly that I could go and try out a bunch of basses, but in my town's half dozen or so music stores there is one left handed squier bass. Total. Reviews are very helpful, even if they are limited. At least it can help identify...

    Anybody else HATE doing yard work?

    I don't mind the work. I hate the fact that I can never seem to finish before I have to start again, though.
