Yepp, I had just reached the point I was going big, monitors for Charlie Daniels in the 90's and was informed I was going to be a dad. I got in 6 months working for Charlie and had to quit and find a new career. Home 45ish days a year was not conducive to being a father. BTW Charlie is amazing...

Me too. I love doing sound more than anything I've ever done to make money but it just doesnt pay the bills unless you get decent size tour gigs.

So the VP is my first instrument shipped from across the country, Chicago to San Diego. Pretty normal for it to change daily for awhile as it gets acclimated? How long usually does it take? Today is day 3 and boy was it out of whack, E and A buzzing 1/3 of the way down the neck. a little tweak...

This brought back a funny memory. I was FOH at a Bluegrass Festival in Napa CA in the 90's. I thought I had done it all at this point until I had 15 players on stage, all with pure acoustic instruments, no pickups anywhere and they refused to play their instrument to the mic. One of the worst...

I spent many years traveling as FOH and monitor sound dude. There is nothing more infuriating than a singer asking "how's it sound". A bit different when the bass player is running sound and I 100% agree with his comments so far. Have a trusted person or 2 to give an indication if a change needs...

soooo....I'm pretty damn excited right now. The VP has arrived and she looks, sounds and plays fantastic!! Thank you to all those on here that provided guidance to steer me to her. Feels like I need a name for her. With the addition of the VP and an official baby flock can I get my number...

Love Alice shows. Same here, seen him twice in the past couple years. One of his current guitarist, Nita, used to be in a tribute band, The Iron Maidens, great show BTW, when I tried my hand at live show photography, that women is pretty darn good.

NR? whats this....I know i am going to regret this

Thanks for the tips. I went to bass San Diego today and checked some crazy dream basses, $5000-$13,000.....crazyness there. They dont carry the Mike Lull basses anymore but that Fedora was nutso. I sold an amp tonight!! The accountant said something had to go before something came in so I am...

I bet a body liquid dipped would look amazing. Can get the wraps done in any design/pattern you want.

:) I have a good friend that is EOD. Many stories of walking up to bombs and taking the gloves and helmet off cause it was so big it didnt matter, he was done either way if the thing went off. He still does the work today but freelance for military bomb ranges, supper dry sense of humor, love...

Duke - thank you for tips All pretty amazing basses but those Mike Lull basses...DAAAMMMNNNN GIRL! Those are sexy The research continues......

Boy my wife is gonna hate you guys. So I have been digging into the VP, love the white. Several videos to get a feel for the sound, rock solid reviews for the most part. This may be exactly what I am looking for. Hey I work hard, make decent money...pretty sure I deserve this step up. Any...

Here I was thinking I was gonna be all cool and upgrade the hell out of this lower end TBird, new bridge, tuners, whatever it takes....now.....doesnt seem so bright(see what I did there). Hmmm....Guess I'll hang onto all these parts and see if I can find a deal on something a bit better. That...

Ampeg BA-210 GK 800RB and Ampeg 4x10 Little fender rumble 100 I think. Tried them all. Lows are ridiculously good just weak all the way up from there.
