    First cars?

    I'm happy to see all the '80s euro-car love. My first car was a 1986 Audi 4000cs quattro. An all wheel drive sedan with an inline 5, 5 speed manual transmission, leather seats, sunroof, power locks and windows, and a decent sound system. Had to get rid of it because it wouldn't pass smog and...

    What are you most afraid of?

    It's completely irrational and sounds all too trendy, but i am terrified of zombies. Any cataclysmic infection frightens me, but one that turns us into a horde of mindless and insatiable hunger haunts my dreams.

    My best bass homemade pick **ever**

    The best pick for me is a plastic spoon. My thumb sits perfectly in the scoop part and the handle gives me added stability. The only problem is that they tend to break when you dig in a little too much. Good thing they're cheap.

    Songs that make you cry

    I don't cry because I'm emotionally stunted, but Regina Spektor's "Samson" and all of Otis Redding's ballads/slow soulful tunes. Also Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss" and "Jeremy"

    Ebay woes

    thanks for the answers. shame to hear that this isn't uncommon. Seller had 100% feedback, but he's still a big lameface in my book. Ebay's response essentially echoed what all of you said, so... shucks i guess

    Ebay woes

    Hey everybody, I was the high bidder (with $125.00) on a squire VM fretless that had 24 hours (more or less) left to go and the seller ended the auction, canceled all bids, and then relisted the same bass with a buy-it-now price of $250.00. :eek::mad: Is this allowed? There was no...

    8 year old boy in double homicide

    There wasn't any sort of child representative because the police thought they were getting a victim's report at first. maybe that still requires the presence of an advocate.

    Bass with three musicman humbuckers

    Hey, i was just wondering if anybody has a bass with three mm humbuckers. Also, would it be possible to have one in the traditional spot and then fit another on the bridge side and the third on the neck side? seems like it would provide a lot of tonal variation with coil switches. just a...

    What're you reading?

    Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins is excellent. The World According to Garp by John Irving. Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky is an interesting read. I just finished reading The Sun also Rises by Hemmingway and it was great, but not everyone likes his style. ...ummm books

    neck through tone?

    dumb question, but is a neck through bass's tone derived more from the neck's woods rather than the body's/wings' woods?(excluding pickups, electronics, and strings) for example, if i want a neck through bass to mainly have the tones of koa, but want to add the snappiness of maple, do i have a...

    noob question about coil tapping

    I know that with a humbucking pick-up(with the right wiring) you can select either coil separately or both together, But is it possible to get a humbucker to be like a P-bass Pick-up? By that i mean select the first two of the neck coil and the opposite two of the bridge coil. And is it...

    your favorite slap tone

    Just wanted to know how you get your favorite slap tone when going direct (no amps/effects). What bass do you use? how are the knobs dialed in? I use an ibanez srx3exqm1 with the neck pickup soloed, bass flat, and the treble turned all the way up. Volume is different for every situation...

    Headstock or heel truss rod adjust? What's best for the integrity of the neck?

    My ibanez SRX3exqm1 neck has a twist because the nut was sticky. would have been nearly imposible to do if it was at the heel.

    Ibanez model?

    I bought a SRX for Christmas but can't find out much about it. The headstock says it's a SRX 3exqm1. It's a 4 string w/ 2 humbuckers, blue quilted maple top and white body binding, and active 2 band eq w/blend and volume. Can't find it in any of the old ibanez catalogs or price lists, but it...
