OK, it was actually like a week ago, but you know how that goes... Well folks, I dunnit! My first-ever Marshall cab, a model 1510 4x10 bass cab. Here it is with my crappy ol' Crate BX200 bass head. Here it is with my '60s Sunn 200s 60W head, and 1987 MIJ Squier Precision Bass: Here it...

My Weekend: Friday: On Friday I had 2 shows, @ 2 venues, w/2 bands. That was a first for me. I've done 2 bands in one night at the same venue, and two shows in one night with the same band at different venues (both having done different clubs, and doing the club/afterparty thing), but...

This week a gig fell into the collective lap of my "church" side band, Pedagogy (terrible name, I know). This is the keyboard-bass-drums trio doing the praise band director's (Joel's) material. We got a last-minute show for Saturday night earlier in the week. We'd only played one show so far...

Sunday was the day of a new personal record. For playing in bands in one day. Church service at 11 with run-through at 9:30. Songs went fairly smoothly, other than having to tweak a guitar mid-song due to some tuning issues at one point. My daughter has gone from being the substitute bassist...

I bought this a couple weeks ago, finally got around to taking a decent pic and uploading it: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Patents Applied For! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Wot say you? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I know they're heavy. You'll have to come up with something better than that. And don't even try to badmouth Peavey USA, as I already own a T-60, Fury I bass, and a Predator Strat, and bought my daughter a...

Hey Kids, yesterday I had some time to kill so I went pawn shopping. I came across a Foundation in pearl white, with a maple neck. It's pretty beat up cosmetically, has a sticker I'll need to remove, and is missing a string. But it seems to play OK. Here's a pic of a similar one...

Hi kids. I have the chance to get a Gallien-Krueger Backline 600 head for $120 used. Since this is under half of the $300 "street" price, it satisfies my rule of thumb for a good used deal. In addition to your thoughts on the price (seems good to me!), I've seen somewhere that the...

I got to church early on Sunday and found the simplest song to figure out on mandolin. (Last weekend was the first time I played mandolin in public ever. I still don't know very many chords and have to figure them out based on guitar chords.) So the band director arrives and says "Mandolin...

Local craigslister is selling what looks like a Yammy RBX170 for $75: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I have 4 basses, so I don't "need" another one. Sfaik these street at $179.99, MSRP: $279.99, so the used price is less than half street, which is my usual standard for a good deal...

I have a show tonight and bought some new clothes, and will probably wear them onstage tonight, because the Crash Pad experience always includes my own unique brand of sartorial splendor. Besides, each item was bought from different places and sent via different shippers, yet each arrived...

I'm new here, and thought this'd be an interesting way to know more about y'all. Do we have some ringers here? Answer these questions vis-a-vis your "musical career," and feel free to give explanatory embellishment (for instance, for magazine/TV/radio questions, was the press outlet/show...

Oops, I somehow missed that this forum was here and already posted in Basses, a combined new bass post and intro, since I just picked up an Epi T-bird last Friday for $100. So I've already managed to break protocol, d'oh! Sorry about that, chief. At any rate, that's my most recent deal. I...

Hi kids. On Friday of this last week I picked up a "new" (to me) bass, so I figured that'd be as good a reason as any to come in and intro myself and say hi. I've reviewed the rules and FAQ and stuff. First, though, the deal! Found on local (Gainesville, FL) Craigslist. $100 even. A...
