    Bandmate's wife hates our music, or us, or something like that

    Reverb prices

    Here's the issue. Reverb charges Selling fees as well as Payment fees and of course there's always a shipping cost. On items exceeding a certain value there is the additional forced Signature required and Shipping Insurance that is mandatory to ship through Reverb (I wish somebody had to pay me...

    2022 kick-off: first bass you played in the new year?

    Any Drummer wearing an Evel Knievel shirt is OK in my book.

    Should I send it back? Opinions, please!

    Probably too late for my opinion but, It was a gift from your Wife that I'm sure she was proud to give the man in her life, to even considerer replacing it over something that insignificant may just be considered insulting to her (and we all know how that goes). Personally I think that...

    Who inspired you to play bass, Paul McCartney or Paul McCartney?

    I was inspired the same way as everyone else...by being the lousiest guitarist in your group of friends.

    Assembling your own basses vs buying production basses vs modding

    I agree 100%...fun & when you're done it's one of a kind. Here's my favorite (so far!).

    Ampeg SVT 410 E 1991

    Dead thread or not I'm glad I found it. I just picked up the same cab with s/n E4-1288. Unfortunately when I opened it up I found 4 mismatched Celestion Tube 10 G10-30 8 ohm speakers. Did you open your cabs up and see what's in there? I can't find any info on these.

    What was your 1st music shop hangout?

    Yeah, Music stores were a thing, but the real cool thing in the 70s & 80s was when your friends worked at the local "record" store and you hung out there and played basically anything you wanted to over the sound system while hanging out...maybe buy a patch or 2 for your jacket or a button, but...

    Can't even give away the big iron these days

    I own an SVT350 head, 410 & 115 stack, a real back breaker but you know what? My all original 1970 Dan Armstrong Bass, all original 1972 Fender Telecaster Bass, and all original 1999 USA Jazz bass sound awesome through it!!! Don't give 'em away, everything comes back around eventually.

    NBD Maxed Out Truss Rod Problems

    I wouldn't replace the neck. It's a mechanical issue. Like others are saying, a spacer or washer or two could do the trick to give the nut more travel on the threads before it hits a solid mechanical shoulder (like the wood) or I've seen people actually clamp the neck with a pronounced back...
