thanks! how rare we talkin here...

Yeah, it seems that most sites only give you the date manufactured when you type in your serial number. And while it is nice to know, the date doesn't really help me in this situation. Learning how the serial number is broken down is helpful. But I'd really like to know what MODEL this bass...

bump HALP!

Its a friends bass, plays incredibly. Super thin neck, incredibly low action, 5-string. Small headstock with 2 knobs on the bottom and 3 on top instead of the regular one on the bottom for 5strings. Serial number shows MZ3055029, but all that seems to tell me is that its mexican made and in...

Talkin about the cloth shoulder packs. Are they too insulated for a regular ss head? Any experience with fried heads? Or any rack mounted units for that matter.

ill give you one hint.... this dying soul. =D

I've had a similar situation with my band. We basically formed the coalition (eveeeentually), confronted the weaker member, and made a pseudo ultimatum. We made sure not to say "pick it up or you're gone bro." More to the effect of "realize what we're all investing in this, you need to do...

I'd use the combo (sadly). Gotta do what's best for the BAND. Not just u :) In my case, my band wouldn't let me get on stage without my fridge. The more gear, the merrier for us.

My drummer is similar, but a bit different. Jamming with this guy is like pulling teeth, no consistency whatsoever. That said, man is he tight. Great technique, interesting fills. Just gives no appreciation to the 1 beat. He knows where it is always, but he just rolls right over it. Coming...

I know this question has been asked on TB, but to my knowledge not properly answered. Can you boil them? or does the coating come off. Alcohol treatment overnight takes the coating off as I've read.

If its a 4-piece i like to play around a bit. when im dealing with 2 other noisy ass guitarists, i gotta stay clean.

Perfect. Ill give that a shot. Any other ideas, please share!

DLX = Rebop. LX = Euro

I play a Bolt-on Warwick Thumb. When i tap the pickup itself theres a rattle. After reading a few TB threads on the topic, it seems thats pretty common with the warwick p'ups. It becomes an issue when I play on my low B and have my fingers ride off and land on the pickup. It seemed like the...

his bass is a silhouette in there, i dont know how you can tell that! Seen him live a few times, he's always playing an NT euro, green or baby blue.
