Doubled on a Mustang bass in the 80's. I want to get back into bass after spending the last couple decades mainly on drums with some guitar and mandolin. I have two long scales: a Cort Artisan and a Peavey T40, but for now I'm using my only short scale, a Rondo SX alder body, maple neck PJ every...

Just picked up a 1980 T40 today. The body has very little finish left, none on the back. After I get the stickers off I'll need to remove any remaining finish and redo. Also need a phase switch and some rewiring. The neck has the finish worn off on the outer fretboard and side, not sure what to...

Nope, laminated top, it appears that the OB-5 is the same as the OB-3 other than the cosmetic differences.

Correction, the outer veneer on the back a sides is maple. It is a copy of the fanciest Thunderchief, the CB28C, which had maple sides and back and came with the same sunburst. I found a third OB-5 online with the claim that it was made in 2003. Also, unlike the OB-3's that I've seen, the OB-5...

Does anyone know the difference between the rare OB-5 and the common OB-3? I have a few Tacoma guitars and know about as much about their history and products as anyone. Today I received an Olympia OB-5 CE6/SB. I've only found two other OB-5's on the web and they are also sunbursts. I'm very...

Easily. I also ride a Klein bicycle and back in the 80's they ran an ad about it making sense to their customers to carry a $3000 bicycle in a $500 pickup truck. I'm not into cars. My truck does everything I want it to. I am into music.

William James answered that question in the nineteenth century: thirty. Despite this dating back two previous centuries, humans haven't changed enough to alter the answer.

Only 25 pounds down in six months. Two bike accidents, several illnesses and a 15 day vacation have slowed me down. I'll need to do better in the second half of the year.

Thanks for rescuing this thread from oblivion. Any other Ocean bass owners out there? The price of used Oceans has been going up at Guitar Center so I know word of mouth is going strong outside of this forum.

Covered pretty thoroughly but the most obvious case hasn't been mentioned: salesmen. Most non-compete clauses are meant to keep you from taking a bunch of customers to your next job. I'm a CPA and the comment about accountants being particularly subject to non-compete clauses is not true -...

I'm on myfitnesspal.com. Need to rejoin the gym but have run deficit calories every day since I started Jan 1 and am down 11 pounds. add> It does seem that the conventional wisdom as implemented by myfitnesspal.com is true. Their calorie goal, 1980 for me, is dropping 2 pounds a week. I've had...

My aspie kids have higher IQs, but I have higher function. My professional work became my obsession and I relentlessly pursued each problem from every possible angle. There seems to be subtle difference in symptoms that can create a huge difference in outcomes. It's also true that a remarkable...

The stereotypes of Seattle are true in my experience, but most see the entire state of Washington through the lens of Seattle. The NW has lots of crazies on both end of the political spectrum. In the space of a few weeks in 2008 I heard my neighbor wail about the Bush FEMA camps to imprison...

A bit of a tangent - My favorite song is "The Dutchman". I was at a Michael Smith concert where no one was singing along until he played "The Dutchman". As soon as the song began every person in the crowd seemed to be singing along. I was in a band with David Cloud, who was part of the Allman...

I've listened to and enjoyed their music since the 60's and am also into the most of the bands on your list. Renaissance may be the closest of them to Pink Floyd. I never liked the Rolling Stones and I'm in the decided minority there.

Agree. Although I did tip on a carryout order last week because the order was complicated and they got it right. Maybe they're sucking me in.

My kindergarten teacher 1959-60 made extensive notes about me because I liked to play by myself. She tagged me as a sociopath. On that basis I was put in the special school district for first grade. But after a week I was transferred back to the regular school. I was disappointed as the...

I was a kid when Stan was playing. He was the first $100,000 ball player, but most players still had to have a second job for the off season. We lived in Frostfield subdivision, small slab built two bedroom homes with a carport. The great Cardinal 3rd baseman Kenny Boyer lived a few doors down...

I always wondered why I seemed to have so many autistic traits when I was clearly not autistic. Two of my three children were born before Aspergers was in the diagnostic manual but were eventually diagnosed. One of my sisters has a son that is severely autistic. So, my family has no doubts that...

If you buy it and have regrets I'll be glad to take it off your hands the next time I'm in Victoria.

Using headphones was the way we did it.

I'm not normally into movie soundtracks, but Obscured by Clouds has stuck with me more than any other Pink Floyd album.

Record the practices. The playback should settle whether the drummer is too loud. Get a decibel meter. Not playing too loud in practice is a great idea. With a few trials everyone can agree on a decibel limit. It's possible that he is the only one in the band who hasn't lost some of his high...

Mizzou class of '76 here. Since I moved to Sequim in 2008 my method is simple: fire up the Weber kettle, chop up some red alder branches and throw them in with the coals. I use it with almost everything. Occasionally, like when smoking a turkey, I'll bank the fire.

We've always had gun control. You can't buy any number of guns right now because they are prohibited by law. My father's shotgun that I hunted with in the 70's had a plug in the tube to limit it 3 shells. The proposed law change is a return to the Brady law which was in force for a while. What...

What's that clean-cut young man doing with those hippies?

Dug the second video with the French Horn. It's the sort of thing I might have heard at a Mothers of Invention concert. first didn't hold my interest and was way outside my experience. I ride a '91 Klein Quantum 12 speed with full Dura Ace components. I'm also a drummer and have two...

Dwolla is ten cents for every transaction but is not in widespread usage yet.

How incredibly rude. He's not asking about whether he should put one on, he's stating that he has already put one on. In that context all the hate is pure hate without the excuse of keeping him from making what you see as a mistake. He's not even expressing a preference much less bashing...

e is elitest.

Good decision. Having clear priorities is key to a good life. You'll find a better musical situation somewhere down the road.

+1 particularly for those of us from the Viet Nam era The chorus starts: "There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes"

"Wampeters, Foma and Granfaloons" (didn't check spelling) is my favorite, a collection of essays.

Lived in Charleston for seven years. The winters are wonderfully mild.

I just signed up for LoseIt. I need to drop 80 pounds. edit - After trying both I'm using myfitnesspal

I thought the Pale Orc was a good addition and a standard film baddie: Rev 6:7-8 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death;

I saw it last week with the family. The Hobbit was an uneven book IMO, starting as a children's story, then partially revised by Tolkien to sync it up with LOTR, then extensively revised as an adult story, although this last version was abandoned. Jackson has extensively revised the story to...

You say that you think you know the meaning of love Love that album

In the band I play drums with I usually do it myself. I figure the other guys have the PA stuff to mess with as well as their own equipment so it's fairly equal.
