Thanks - I'm in.

If anyone has been to Bizarre Guitar in Reno you'll have some idea of what my house is like.

Good on you cavscout - thanks for your service. BBC1 - 18BP, 89D, 18B.

Incorrect: Nemo dat quod non habet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Link Removed The sale of stolen property, even in full compliance of state statute at time of sale, does not automaticlly transfer legal title of that property to the buyer. California law on the subject...

Not where I worked for 15 years and retired from. The local LEA isn't a collection agency for individuals - the claim for the op's purchase money would be a civil case, not criminal.

The bad news is the bass has to go back to the rightfull owner, and the good news is that you probably won't face any charges for possession of stolen property. You can never have legal title to stolen property - there are some real horror stories in the collector car hobby about valuable...

A gun wasn't the murder weapon, but the guy that murdered a riding buddy was sentenced to nine months work furlough for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Invalid Link Removed The guy ran Julius down with his truck after exchanging **** yous in traffic. If you want to murder someone...

Today - Geddy Lee - hands down. In the old days, Entwistle.

I almost pissed my pants...priceless!

I'll give Gene credit for admiting on Stern that he's a terrible bass player. Sixx. I saw Kiss the first time they played in San Francisco - opening act at Winterland for Savoy Brown (Headliner) and Manfred Mann. I didn't dig them then, and my opinion has never changed.

Ummm basscat likes

Viewed the pics - you scored.

^Bingo!^

Correct. If the axe had even 10% of original finish remaining, I'd say leave it as is, but the strip job ended originality questions. Refinish the piece in whatever finish floats your boat.

I've found out that in today's world, legal CYA counts for more than any set of balls, brass or otherwise. If I read the op correctly, the odd man out here "owns" the band - better have everything lined up and documented if the other players want to walk off with the band's name and material...

It's times like this that make me thankful that I never had kids. Everything that my parents generation and my generation took for granted - the opportunity to earn a living and get ahead - is pretty much down the tubes. Living up to a contract? Western Confrence of Teamsters pension...

^Best advice by far^ You need to think about both the immediate needs of firing him and the long term needs of dealing with his earlier claim to the band and (I'm assuming) the band's name and writers royalties etc. If douchebag will go for it, I'd try to buy him off and out of the band -...

You took the high road - good on you.

Seconded.

As someone who had a horrible experience selling on CL, anything that goes sideways with CL is no surprise to me.

Back in the day (1970's) bar owners had a great system (for them) unless you were known to them, they expected you to play the first gig for free, and then they'd tell you if you were worth paying to play a second time. No excuse today for a live audition, unless the band in question doesn't...

Double the price, at the very least.

DNA has certainly solved cold cases and cleared individuals wrongfully convicted, but you'd be surprised how many folks victimized by a car burglary expect a full "CSI" setup to roll out for their call.

The news item was long on opinion, and short on facts. Having noted that, it doesn't sound like a good shoot to me.

Seller got his price out of the famous old guide - The Gougers Handbook.

Kony is simply suffering from a case of mineral deficiency. A 230 grain lead injection will fix him right up. As well intended as this campaign is, he's unconcerned about his PR. Since Uganda is old stomping grounds for the Brits, let 22 SAS get the job done.

Oh sure, the neck gave you stink finger, yes sir, that's the ticket! Seriously, teak does stink when it's worked, and your neck sounds like sealing the thing might be a good idea.

No, because the truth is an absolute defense. You're correct that under "fair use" Limbaugh can use any music he chooses for bed music.

Whatever you do, don't do it out of fear. If you decide to play out, relax and enjoy the experience. The only way you'll improve is to practice and test yourself by playing for an audience.

65/66 Dot bound J - refined long ago in the original seafoam green, brass nut, added string tree, EMG actives - and no, I didn't do any of the work. 1992 MIA Jazz, frankenbass built for me by Dan Torres. Warmoth triple A flamed maple neck, brass nut, EMG actives, Badass. I picked up the...

Rather watch Tal.

That axe may be a great player, but it has -0- value as a "vintage" Fender bass. The P neck and 3 to four bolt swap and the refin made it into - at best - a restoration project. The owner would be lucky (in my area) to get $500.00 for it on CL.

Here's one: 1972 P, Jazz width neck, some flame, very early Bartolini's (marked Hi-A) Badass. My main working bass. Body close-up: I've owned this for 30 something years.

^this^ There's an old saying that if you compare yourself to others, you make yourself a child of circumstance.

That's something that professional instruction and practice can turn around. Everytime I see Rocco and TOP I first want to throw my gear out the window, then I want to woodshed.

A Klira violin bass that was soon replaced with a Framus EB Gibson shortscale type. I don't miss the Klira, but the Framus was stolen and I miss it to this day.

I'm in: I've used all manner of heads over the years, from old school (hey! they were new then) Sunn amps, Fender, G-K, Ampeg and SWR's, but the M-B tube amps sound the best, and require less preventive maint. than the SVT

I've got smaller hands, and the Lakland isn't a bad fit. I've played an Ibanez (I don't recall the model) owned by a friend that was comfortable neck thickness eise, but a little wide at the nut.

I wish I had a pic of it, but I owned a prototype Modulus 5 string bass - neck through, three and two headstock, three Bartolini J types. The problem with this example was that the placement of the B string tuner on the headstock required the B to make a sharp angle onto and over the nut, and...
