Smaller environmental footprint…global warming

Thank you, whoever bought this, for helping me avoid a particular "discussion" with my wife that I didn't want to have.

Nice looking bass and I'm sure it sounds great...trade for an air conditioner?

Got mine last week. I'd ordered it at the very end of the year. Had a slight mistake in the order that Adrian @ Nordstrand made right on so I'm more than satisfied...I'm quite pleased! Waiting for the band to catch up with me on the vaccines so we can start practice later this month. Very eager...

Music meets Art...if there's one bass I could have, it might be this one. glwts

So you didn't get a chance to see if they were wearing their socks that night?

I just watched the film "Louie Bluie" again for the 1st time in 20 years and, like in the Ken Burn's jazz doc, am impressed how much even within a rigid song structure, improvisation, by truly talented musicians, can take music to a new level. Mystery and wonderment endures in watching bands...

I would have LOVED to have seen that 1976 show!

Malcolm was quite the showman...and many have called him a shiite. As for the boy-band angle, yeah, there's some of that. The history has been written. There's a flipside to every coin...every performer has to leave the stage. I missed the Ramones first show in San Antonio but saw them the month...

Sex Pistols, January 8, 1978, Randy's Rodeo. I was 14 yo. It made a tremendous impression on me for years to come. I later saw hundreds, if not a thousand, bands...but that was the show that influenced me more than any other. I later saw them in NYC at the Roseland Ballroom on 8/8/1996 but it...

It's all good. Think of it like cross training in sport, fusion cooking, painting with a different palette, or what have you. Not as hard as speaking backwards or mirror writing right to left from the bottom of a page backwards and reading it that way or playing it backwards...on your head...on...

Hmmm...this looks exactly like a bass I went to buy at Bass Northwest about 7 years ago after looking at it a couple days prior and finding it sold the day before I returned.

I was a young teen when I saw the Randy's Rodeo show in San Antonio. Yes...he played the bass, and boy!, could he "swing" it (LOL). It remains about the most impressive rock show I've saw in my life, but not for the notes he played, but the impression it made on my adolescent mind. It's one of...

Right...no one leaves this world alive...and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...so one's loss is another's gain...and it's a pleasure in seeing someone else be happy...it's all good in the end

All three of those sound wonderful!

...my vintage 1970s Dan Armstrong fretless lucite for about $650 about 10 years ago (value now $1500+?), a vintage Ross guitar compressor for $5-10 at a garage sale some 25 years ago (value now $600+?)...and I can't remember if I ever collected on the vintage Mosrite Ventures Guitar I took to...

Ashamed of playing a Squire? I like my Squire more than many of my instruments costing many times it's price. Keep in mind that there are far less valuable instruments that, in the hands of a good musician, sound as good. It's less the material (instrument) you play than the material (music)...

This is a good place to start for an overview of theory: Mathematical Music Theory: A comprehensive Analysis and Comparison of the Major Theoretical Models of the Twentieth Century. By Emre Sabuncuoglu. Not only does Mr. Sabuncuoglo know his theory, he knows how to play guitar. Here he...

Yep, no other reason for a truss rod cover...

Hi, are you How?

I would have bought it on impulse also because of the paint job. Hopefully the neck is straight despite the lack of a truss rod. I would think a repair shop could replace the single fret and level all the frets if needed. Sometimes these old basses are never going to play that perfectly and you...

yep

leave if it's not your gig and there's more to it; work with it if it's worth it; maybe there was another reason he drank a lot that day; cartharsis is not always bad; i saw GG Allin, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Thunders and others in the midst of their abuse; rock n' roll is a forum attractive to...

Looks nice. Where was the bass made?

Yes

Bad Brainer

No brainer...

Dee Dee: "Tonic Notes Only" in something like 150 songs. Great songs...minimalist bass.

Thanks again for this fantastic bass. I just got back from a trip and was finally able to play it today. I now understand all the praises Birdsongs get. Though I don't play fretless much, it's so easy to play this one I'm going to take it as my main bass to play with my surf band at a gig...

Looks like a nice one! Beautiful wood and neck. I have a full size Clement Ergo-Mike [Gallery | Tom Clement Instruments] and think Clement's are outstanding basses, especially the necks. Passing your Clement on will make someone happy!
