Very nice! IIRC, the ignition/Icon series don't have the internal blocking like the contemporaries right? How is it for sustain? Also, would you gig it? Edit: Sorry, just realized I was very late to this party. I've been away from TB for a bit.

Wait...don't ANY of you folks pack an extra hat? Y'know...just in case your current hat doesn't suit the room decor?

Do you clean your bass and/or strings after shows? If not, as Jamerson (RIP) said, "the funk is in the gunk".

Huh. Well I gots nothin'. As you were. :)

Whoa, whoa there gents, why not just pull the pickguard off twice a year (or as necessary) to do truss adjustments? I bet there's a groove on the body for just that purpose.

All of my posts have been in Dutch, but because of Talkbass' TARDIS-like translation matrix, you've been seeing them in English.

Y'know, I'm not 6-4, but not noticing the dot (or knowing its purpose) could have easily happened. Given that it's warming up now, and all my instruments are slightly sharp, I could have overtuned. Thanks! There's a strong possibility this is what happened. Geez...I better check to see if the...

Thanks for the input everyone...I was only in for three songs, so it wasn't nearly long enough to repair the situation. I've been in this situation before...hell, while playing at my own wedding, I realized the bass I borrowed was horribly set up, and the A string saddle literally collapsed...

Alright, first of all, hi everyone, how have you been? I haven't been active on TB much lately, due to work and life stuff, but I hope you've all been great. Ok, down to brass tacks. I just had an awful set as a guest player at the 5th anniversary show for a band my band are pretty good...

Not sure if anyone else said this (tl;dr), but venues with the stage at the rear AND without a rear entrance...basically having to load everything through the front door, then through the crowds, and past the bar to get to the stage. Nothing more fun than weaving a bass rig through a crowded bar...

Funny thing is, I had a MIM shell pink strat that delaminated this same way.

As I get older, the amps get smaller. Chiropractors are expensive.

The sad thing is, I have a classic series cable, and it's literally printed with "guaranteed for life" along the length of it.

I suppose. The retailer I bought it from told me I could bring it back at any time because of the lifetime warranty. I actually did once, and it was no questions asked. Sadly, that shop closed down, and now I guess I'll just throw this out. I mean honestly, at this point, I don't know if I'd...

I just had one of their 20-footers die on me, and the lifetime warranty is only honoured for two years with receipt. It's in the fine print on their website.
