I went through a few months trying to figure out the name of my Engelhardt EM1. I don't really like men's or women's names for my instruments. I toyed with Meatball or Dub. Then it struck me last month out of nowhere. The shades of brown... the growl, especially when bowed... Chewbacca.

I still enjoy this one. Who is rocking this bass now? I would like to know how that mudbucker sounds.

Here is what I have so far. Obviously I am preparing for more pedals in the near future.

I have been slowly piecing together a board, which I have been starting to bring to worship and finding some uses... Boss Tuner DOD Compressor (mostly for sustain) Ibanez Overdrive MXR Blowtorch (havent found the right song for full fuzz yet) DOD Bass EQ (mostly a bass booster) Boss Bass...

Hey everyone! I know I have not been around this forum in MONTHS and have been behind on new members wanting to join to club. My jobs and other interests have taken me away from TalkBass so I think it is time to pass on the reins of number-giver-person-whatever. If you would like to take...

Not a good example since you sign the car over to Goodwill upon donation.

I love the contours on this. The pickguard looks great too.

Done and done. MIM Fender Deluxe Jazz Neck Seymour Duncan Performer pickup Wilkinson Humbucker pickup stacked vol/tone knobs High mass string through body bridge I don't know if it was worth all it to mod, but I learned a lot about what I do like. I enjoy it a lot now and...

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for the comment.

Mine are still going. I don't know how many years. It was the first set I bought and for a few years the only ones I liked and could never find, so they didn't get replaced. They still sound good to me and are not rusty, so I still have them around.

So they are just trying to sell these by calling them used?

Has anyone else noticed how many Peavey Mill4 Millennium basses are up on the used section of Guitar Center's website? Is there a problem with that instrument or is the market just flooded like the Squier Affinities used to be?

^This.

My contribution... the stripes are coming off soon though.

Sorry about that Dr. Eagle. I usually don't give out a number unless I see them write that they want in. Sometimes we have just had people wanting to show off their T-Bird, but not wanting to join the club. Anyway here is your number: Dr. Eagle #161

Here is the current regeneration of my Squier p-bass that will never be sold.

Crazy... My name is Derek Beaudoin and the first bass I bought new was a blue Squier Affinity. That was awhile ago... it is in it's 6th regeneration now. Here is a picture from the 3rd. Maybe I should call it "The Doctor". :) I don't think I could sell this thing if I wanted to. So...

Your dad is looking like Freddy Krueger here.

DITTO!

Subbed. I always enjoy your relics Dark Horse.

Well there's your problem, Allpart is not Fender. Anyway, I put my MIM Fender Jazz neck on my Squier Affinity P-bass body. Pretty solid fit. Part of it may have been the paint on the inside of the pocket. A layer or two of acrylic paint will fill that gap.

^THIS. I anchor my thumb like that and play behind the cover on my p-bass. When I use a pick and play between the covers and my hands rests nicely on the bridge cover.

Carry on my wayward son.

I do enjoy the sunburst and black guard combo.

Did you get any good stories from the owner?

If only I could be that lucky. The local high school had a double bass that was slightly broken (neck disconnecting from body) that I wished I could have bought off them.

I would still rock it, but for more like $200.

Honestly, I just got a string through bridge, marked the holes in a 2x4 and drilled it first, checking the lineup, then used the 2x4 as a guide for my holes when drilling the body. The holes might have been off by a millimeter, but it isnt a big deal to me. Install ferrules and you are done.

I never threw any away, but I did donate one of my extra basses that had been sitting unused to Doernbecher Children's Hospital for Christmas. I do hope it went to a kid looking to play.

Yum. I have always wanted to try out a dual split coil bass to see what it sounds like.

Hey thanks for the calorie counter. This may well help me. 5'8" 260lbs. Most of it is hanging out in the gut and chest. I have a goal to do some wear and tear to my basses because of belt buckle rash, but I have to get the gut down first. ;)

I haven't done so, but our church's other bass player has, repeatedly. Luckily I keep one of my basses in my office at the church. It is also nice because I don't have to remember to bring all the stuff from home when I play. I swap out the three basses every so often. Currently the...

After the name change you could probably try and sell the "Old Crow" t-shirts already made as collector's items from a bygone era.

Born are raised in Oregon. 27 year old, school bus driving Youth Pastor living in North Portland. I do enjoy this state.

MultiplepersonalityBassist could have their own thread. I feel sorry for his wife since he is gone all the time between his metal, jazz, punk, classic rock and blues bands. Not to mention how many basses he has for them all. ;)

It is a looks thing, but I kinda like it. I have a couple spots I play on my p-bass: regular thumb rest in front of pickup guard, thumb anchored on the top of the pickup guard and plucking behind the guard, and using a pick in the sweet spot between pickup and bridge guards.

+1

Sounds like he is only expressing what he doesn't want, obviously that is going to sound negative. It also isn't a place to share previous experiences dealing with bad band mates. If you describe what you are looking for instead of what you are NOT looking for it will sound much more...

All I know is that is looks pretty sweet and a good deal on the price, but then again I enjoy oddball/well used basses.
