Love my Fender Bassman 100T for practice into two 15s. In a band situation, I can pretty much play any amp. The above amp is out of production. Used comes up often.

I thought it was just me. It’s my main gripe at live shows. Although I pretty much have given up on live shows recently. Last one I really wanted to see was the Circle in 2000 and we all know what happened that year.

Beach wagon is probably your best bet and it works for the beach as well.

One spot we had back in the high school days was an enclosed back porch at one of the guitar players’s house. Cold in winter hot in summer. Now I’m spoiled I have a 20’ x 16’ music room. I also need to be thankful in many ways for what I currently have.

Great job!!!

Quite interesting.

Nice job!!!

All but one, I need to install a neck shim and a nut. Needed to for a few years. The ones in rotation are always ready,

My birth year. 5 Gs is a good number for it.

Clark fuzz someone gave (for good reason) me backs in the 70s. We called the tin can and that’s a good description.

AI for sure!

Lots of cool bass lines in the 70s disco tunes. Didn’t like the songs but something made me stop and take note. That was before I started to play bass in 79’. In a few years I realized it was the bass. I played guitar before I picked up bass. Oh…… I wouldn’t admit it at the time.

Dryer sheet as suggested above. I had the same problem. Don’t do what I did, I rubbed it on pick guard and had tiny bits of lint or something stuck on it for weeks. No static though. Didn’t think about putting it in the electronic cabinet. I sprayed some static guard on a rag, and that...

2 1/2” works nicely for me. Just leather and unfinished on the side that lays on my shoulder. Wider ones are uncomfortable to me.

Very cool. Nice work!
