This is how I pretty much play for songs that i'm playing close to the neck for deep tones.

Southern Comfort for me too. Been 32 years and still gag at the look and smell of the stuff.

$100 in 1970 is $793.27 in 2023 dollars...

Many keep "garage queen" automobiles in their garages/barns for 30-50 years just to go out and look them over, even they are intended to be driven. I think it has a little to do with hoarder mentality mixed with a deep love for the 'art' they own.

I drink Vodka almost exclusively when indulging. Here in Canada, the tax on liquors is ridiculous and so I stay away from the Ciroc, Belvedere and Grey Goose spirits which all have a syrupy taste to me and are priced like fine Whiskeys. I'm a fan of the traditional Vodkas. Stoli, Smirnoff...

Great suggestions so far. For me personally: When I got more serious about playing, and when I'm not playing with the dad/garage/basement band, I loaded up as many songs as I could that I liked or knew and played along with them until I learned the basslines and timing for those songs...

Current 3 man band setup Dad - 72 Dad's buddy - 72 Me - 46

Beauty! I have the same colour on my A series PB-551. The necks on these are so well crafted. Enjoy

Agreed, I have black pearloid on my 3-T sunburst Fender Jazz. I like the matte with single colour finishes

I have had Chromes on my SRX470 since almost day one

We are a trio of my father, his buddy (both 70+ yrs old) and me (43) so in the interest of keeping my father and his buddy around to play on in the future, I won't be responsible for dragging in a virus that could be the end of them.

I have the same bass, but the P version, a PB-551 in the same colour. It's what's referred to as a contemporary/boxer series. Mine is an A series serial number 1985-1986. The pickups, neck and light weight are all winners in my book. I got lucky finding mine, they are getting more rare and...

1) Ampeg PF-500 with PF-210HE for play out and home use 2) Ampeg BA-112 V2 for playing with the band at our weekly sessions and smaller venues They both weigh about the same, but have similar sound wherever I play.

Started on the Cello in grade 5 (1986) and learned the Bass clef. Played in school string bands for 4 years until grade 9 and left it when high school started. Late 80s early 90s, all my friends and classmates were big into 'non-rock' music such as rap/hip hop, house, electro and such and I was...

Mine is a contemporary A series, so that may be the difference.

The serial number on my MIJ is on my neck plate.

I'm in my dad's band with his 60ish year old buds, so he's seen the few gigs we've done. lol! Mom passed a couple years ago, but she was always subjected to the boys making noise down in the basement. She co-wrote a few originals we do.

Not as of yet FJ, but will definitely look into! Thanks for the suggestion

The Time Machine - H.G. Wells I had read almost all of Jules Verne's classics this year alone and seem to be stuck in a Steampunk era from mid 1850's to early 1900's

Use the wifes Oil of Olay face cream with SPF 15 included and been using it for almost 10years each morning. It seems to stop the aging process, at least on my face, especially when I look at my peers of the same age. Un-manly? Sure, but who could even tell? Plus, I have the added bonus of...

If the bass has a pick-up, and you intend to plug in and use it, you can use any bass strings. I use Half rounds on my AEB as I wanted the bright, but not the finger noise.

Got fandangled out of my appartment. Stay, and be subjected to 6.5% rent increases for 3 years. Move to a new unit at an increase of $400/mnth more than i am paying now with first and last covered as an "incentive". Or go, and get a cash payout that covers my first and last months rent somewhere...

I have the Ibanez. The only beef I have with it is that it is very large and awkward front to back so it is hard to get your arm around it and into a comfortable playing position..at least sitting down. Standing there are no issues. You will have to adjust your playng style no matter which you...

I quit May 26, 2005 after smoking for 10+years this is incentive enough.. Quit Smoking Calculator You've been free of cigarettes for 2847 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes & 2 seconds You have not smoked 34,169 cigarettes since then, and you have saved a total of $20,501.63...

One of those was originally listed at 20K..

Yeah I just saw that on Kijiji today myselfand was wondering the same thing... Doesn't seem right from the other Les Paul's I've looked at and of course the price is too good to be true.

As an only child and an introvert, I really like my alone time and prefer alone time. But enjoy the company of others as well.

Same as Sav'nBass, I have the same half rounds on my ABG. I would be interested in the Nylon core broze rounds though.. never heard of those!

Oh for sure, wonder why they still have it on their website then if they were discontinued 10+ years ago? Either way, even if I could find one used, I dont think I could afford one, considering how scarce and revered they seem to be.

Thanks ahc! I'll head on over to the thread. Too bad they are no longer in production.. They look killer.

Wow that was quick! Thanks so much for the response. I'll have to look into these a little more I recon.

Hi all, I was looking at colours on the Fender website and came across a bass I had not seen before. It looks like a Blacktop series, but when I looked at the models offered, I could not find it. Any idea as to what kind this is and where it is available? I really liked the pickguard and...

fre db meters are availble for your smartphones and are quite accurate. I use mine for my iPhone all the time to adjust levels.

I had bought some cheap $12 cables as I need some longer than the one I currently had and thought a cable was a cable. My existing one was a Rodam pro series cable that I had paid about $30 for and the new ones I picked up were no name ones. With the cheap cables, I was getting a lot of hum and...

I see my daughter once per week and I'm a consistent father. As Relic mentioned above, its quality of time. I get that whole day with just Dad and daughter. I think her mom would love to have that kind of face time with her child, but she does not although she is the one living with her. It's...

I picked up my last 2 basses off CL/Kajiji. My MIJ Fender P for $80 and my mint MIM Fender Jazz for $240. Both are excellent.

LOL! Thanks nutso42. I'm sure the new PG will make my bass sound better!
