I can't post the link darn it---just google Mr Who (uptown Funk Mashup 4:48 minutes)

It is off-putting to me for Fender to use "performer" with a Fender Mustang because THE Fender Performer bass is so iconic (wish I had one). That's just me and of course YMMV, but it grates me. It is like bringing out the Ford Pinto again and naming it the Ford Mustang.

OK, my sister-in-law's birthday. I'm thinking of something that will be helpful for her, not another "dust-catcher" piece of crap. She's into fitness/dieting (big time) and such so that I got her 6 cans of choc and vanilla Slim Fast. Just tryin' to help....hello! My bro was cool with it---for...

Offered a 500/1000 watt amp (with whatever other EQ/etc of course) along with a 4x12 cab at 8 ohms so you could add another and still be at a reasonable 4 ohm set up. Would you want it? I know...just dreaming.

This band is in Indonesia. The keyboardist is the BL, his name is Indra and is the cousin of a friend of mine (Tony) for forty years (who is a drummer out in Calif). He sent me the link tonight. The body reminds me of Spector maybe and the headstock is Alembic-ish. First glimpse of bass is at...

Wow---is the price like this because it is over there in Japan or what? I saw some prices varying wildly (to me) from $1K to this almost $5K. Whats up? Why are they so expensive??? I know we have some Steinie gurus here. Educate me. Steinberger Steinberger Synapse XS - 15FPA 5 - String Bass...

Oh yeah, right, I can say this word AND I won a spelling contest by spelling it. It is so cool that this is also the name I gave to my dog. Big mistake. I hate calling him. Uh-huh.

I have seen some basses for sale on eBay and the Bridge pup, I swear, looks to be 1/4 inch or less away from the bridge. Is there some rule of thumb that defines the optimal distance of the pup from the bridge? It looks strange to me, too, besides thinking the vibrations which are bound to be...

OK, several lucite bodied bass on eBay at the moment. I wonder if anyway ever made a lucite bass with a neck through lucite neck??

Hilarious yesterday at a small "Starbucks" imitator coffee shop. I was approaching it and about 8-9 people came out in a rush, trying to act cool, but a few disgust-faces, curses and "J--C--!'s" told me something was up. The air following them came out the door with/behind them was, let's just...

On Craigslist for Columbus, Ohio. Here is what the poster says: "Are you a jazz musician? Has jazz ruined your life, economically I mean? I have been playing jazz since I was a kid and I love the music. Now I'm in my 40s and I'm broke and depressed and living with my parents. I started a...

OK, here ya go............... a 1930 Washburn Lyon+Healy uke for your 4-string pleasure. Only $3895.00 on ebay. Seller says: 1930 Washburn “Lyon & Healy” Shrine Ukulele, Rare Koa body with Green Binding, Rosewood fingerboard, 17 Frets, “Smile” bridge, One replaced tuner, A couple of tiny...

There is nothing spectacular here, but damn, this is a great example from back in the day (1970) where the producer really gave the bassist his sonic space, so to speak. Always liked it for that (and the fact it was the favorite of our main Ranger school instructor at the time, so he'd always be...

Life-long collector here---with some breaks happening during that time---and love the sense of history behind so many postage stamps from vanished countries, interesting territories, historical periods, etc. And really enjoy the beautiful engraving especially on the 1890's- 1930s eras...

She insists on wearing these winter leggings with little sleighs on them. The sleighs were not printed correctly on the leggings. OK--they look stupid. I told her if she continued to wear them, I was going to buy a faux man bun. I have a pretty short haircut. She just slitted her eyes at me and...

for me mostly: Stamps: US and about everywhere else, including some sheets, covers+FDCs Fossils

Loooonnngg time ago I was so enthralled by playing bass (still am) that I had the eccentric idea that when my time ends, I'd like to be cremated and my ashes stirred into a gloss lacquer and my main player gets a new paint job with that lacquer to hand down to my child if I were to have one...

So whaddaya think over all in a general way?

The sibling of the double bass I know, but since you all use the bow as well, I thought you might appreciate this true masterpiece by Rostropovich...er...no sheet music for him...and his sheer dexterity, intensity, feeling, memory and quintessential command of the cello and bow just BLOWS ME...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and all other holiday season things, to all TB'ers! May your basses sing and songs be jolly. Hoping we can all hit new lows in 2018.

Just amazes me seeing usually twice as many "Guests" cruising TB over members--or are Guests just non-supporting members? And whats up with "Robots"? Never met e Robot that was a bass owner, much less a real, breathing bassist. WTH???

So periodically I get a thin Guitar Center catalog in the mail, usually for special holiday sales, maybe 4-5 times a year. So the last one just before Thanksgiving came in and I took a look ...................not a single thing about basses. :mad: I guess we are unappreciated and few basses...

7 weeks now with no cigarettes! After a few decades of smoking with little detrimental effect (must have good genes) I saw it was catching up to me. OK, previous repeated attempts at quitting had failed. Nicorette gum--no dice. Cold turkey---brrrr--no dice. OK, determination took hold. Did...

Hah! Just screwing around and came across a piece of gear I used back in the day in Los Angeles. My good ol' Furman Parametric EQ PQ3. Used it with Crown heads and GK folded horn bottoms. Dang, that was one good piece of gear. Wish I still had one. I look at the ones now on eBay and see they...

Check out this FRESHER guitar, model FFD-100,with built-in effects. It is MIJ, probably 1970's (??). Anyone ever see a FRESHER bass? Completely new name to me.

I like to look at the pictures TB'ers post. So often, however, somebody will post a picture and never tell you what brand it is. Too often you cannot truly ID the make of it---too many Fender clones I guess. Be real nice if posters would simply post the maker of the bass they are showing. Lots...

Have a nice 1983 bass in perfect shape body/neck-wise, but minus all its electronics: no pups, wiring, pots. It used to be active but not interested in finding a circuit board from the early eighties or anytime else. So will put passive oriented Dimarzio P/J set-up back in to fit the cut-outs...

Developed a direct combat card game called THOR'S ANVIL, has warriors, weapons, strongholds, tactical cards like the 3 "Runic" cards below and many others, everything needed for a Viking-style combat. Thought I show y'all 3 cards out of the many. I hope someday to be able to get it out on the...

One of the greatest icons of WING Series basses for the Washburn basses during their "vintage years is the 1981 SB-40, an active bass requiring two 9V batts. Been searching for a llooooonnnggg time to find ANY advertisement, magazine review, etc on them. Ads would have started in late-ish 1980...

So here it is. My source forgot to send me the month+year of issue of Guitar Player magazine. Will edit it in here when received. EDIT: THIS IS FROM MAY 1978 ISSUE!!

I notice many times that someone will post a picture of a bass in the Media section, but neglect to title it with the bass model name. Too often, while admiring the bass, I can't tell the model but would sure like to know. SO I urge TB'ers to post the model name as it helps both with nterest...

This from Guitar Player Magazine, 1981 IIRC, and has some interesting photos including Leo's first guitar. I'll try to find the rest and post the whole article if possible. Keep out an eye for it. EDIT: JUST GOT AND POSTED ALL 6 PAGES RIGHT HERE: Some Leo Fender history for you PART 2 --THE...

Did the search and found several recommendations; Hipshot A or B, Schaller, even a Harley Benton, etc. But are they all that easily matched out to the P Lyte? On my Lyte the hardware was gold and although the tuners look new, the bridge is total crud. Please keep in mind the tighter the...

1. I see there are usually some "Robots" on-line here. What the H is that about? 2. Also always a lot of "Guests" which is nice...but JOIN!
