    Alternate Strap button Placement

    Alternate Strap button Placement

    Yes. If your bass has a flat side edge and the button goes there, the button will dig into your leg. This happened to me. I initially did that with the white bass and had to move the button to the backside curve. I avoided that mistake on the 2nd bass, the rusty one in the video. I have now...

    Alternate Strap button Placement

    About two weeks ago this thread came up on weird strap buttons. Weird strap button placement The examples shown were similar to my setup, but different. I mentioned I should do a video of how I set my buttons for better balance and more versatile control. Works great for me. Your mileage will...

    Cleaning old smelly Combos

    The winner was lysol disinfecting wipes on the cab with a hose down and sunlight for a few days. On completion of cleaning, the cab will be given away to my local guitar shop or left in an alley to fend for itself. Only the amp, cones and resonator are being retained for a new custom housing...

    Cheese Bass II, Too Cheesy

    A pound of cheese was lost so that the holes could be hyperspatially connected to the prime material plane of eternal cheese, (adjacent to the Bog of Eternal Stench, take a left at Alba-quirkie).

    Cheese Bass II, Too Cheesy

    Perfect! What you do now is strip the hardware/elec off your bass, but leave neck on body. Next, smear the bass inside the case and be sure to get all the nooks and crannies. I hope you're having a long term heatwave as doing this next step in your oven at 400° for several weeks would suck...

    Cheese Bass II, Too Cheesy

    No, no need to be sorry! It's the crayon mold, (sorry, mould) isn't it? Too scary realistic? Gosh I worried it would look too real and instigate pavlovian food allergy response -which can be a very dangerous thing. Lactose intolerance affects many. Milk gives me terrible asthma. Hopefully...
