Many thanks to Keith as well then! Got to play at stage volume using an SVT this weekend. Oh man, it was so nice! My guitar player hit the nail on the head after the first couple tunes - it sounds more like a piano than a bass.

Well friends, she's all done. Went up to Paul's shop on Monday to bring her home. He was thumping away on Pinky plugged into a Trace Elliot stack when we pulled up. If you haven't heard the man play (guitar or bass), he's quite good. I certainly don't have the same touch, but I too was able to...

Bruce - thank you in advance for the work that you and Keith did on this neck! As fretno mentions, we went away from the LPB on the body anyway, so an exact match for the killer dots is not an issue in the slightest. I'm thinking the aluminum ring alone will be enough to pick out on a dark...

I'm fortunate to already own a pair of Paul's creations, the finest guitars I have ever played. I'll never sell them, and they get more play than anything else in the stable. With that in mind I decided to take the plunge on a custom bass. Like each Pittman, it's going to be a lifetime...

That's THE shot right there! That cocobolo has so much red in it, really pops with those inlays. Great work guys!

Very cool, Bruce! So you guys are "the Fillmore shop" that he talks about! :) That neck is beautiful especially those side inlays! It will actually be used in another bass, but seeing that one was what inspired me to place my order! Here's the thread on that build - NBBD Pittman ! I...

LOVE those side inlays!!! Really looking forward to seeing this one come together. Even if my reasons are somewhat selfish. ;) I can also attest to the quality of Paul's work...

Awesome thread BH! I actually just ordered a P bass build from Paul Slagle, can't wait to see it come together... :D

Really beautiful work, everyone!!!

Fender Japan made a bunch of the single coil Telecaster style basses. Here's mine. I'm trying to sell it locally but no one seems to love the blue floral as much as me, apparently. :(

Thanks man! Its a Gator case I bought several years back for a heavy P bass, I was stoked to see the VI fit in there snugly!

Picked up a SVMBVI off craigslist a few weeks ago, and was mildly disappointed, I really wanted to like it! Strings clanging all over the place, couldn't hold tune, let alone proper intonation. So I proceeded to read every single post in this thread. Picked up some bushings from Grainger...

I use D'Addario Chrome flatwounds on my fretless. My favorite tone out of all my basses, actually.

Most of the ones I would add have already been listed, except for Johnny Marr

Man, those kids look so angry that there is no alcohol at that show...

I see what you mean about the same type of pedals coming in so many flavors, but I think its kinda cool to have so many options. I dunno, $225 doesnt seem that extreme to me, especially when you look at what Klons and DAM's go for used, not to mention amps - whew! I just dropped $500 on an...

I went to Lisbon last week, with a short stop in London. I'd never really thought about it before this trip, but whenever walking in a crowded hallway, I tend to favor the right, just like we do when we drive. It took me a few minutes to realize why everyone coming at me was favoring (or...

:beaver: I'm just putting this beaver here so I remember to come back and hopefully see the "after" pictures on this old bass...

I have a TC Electronic BH250 that I got for just over $200 new. Great little head with DI out, built in tuner, nice EQ, and Toneprint capability. Sounds great with every cab I've hooked it up to. Also pretty impressed by the bass mode on my Yamaha THR10. Great for late night practice or...

My wife wanted me to ask her dad, and I still refused. The way I see it, there was no reason to set a precedence that I would ever ask him for poopie.

About a week ago, a friend on FB wanted me to like a page called "the Bundy Ranch". I ignored it because I don't want to appear to support prostitution, even if its legal there. Now that I know what its actually about - I'm glad I didn't "Like" it... :beaver:

I'm betting the sound guy was not a bass player. Let's be honest, most of us could be fully engulfed in flames onstage and most people wouldn't notice...

Agreed, but its welcome. I was starting to fear that if we had solid 80 degree weather in February, that August/September would be solid 100's! It also lines up with the theory that we are in for an El Nino next year - more rain, more waves, and more snow. Everyone is happy but the...

County, not country. It's what most people around here refer to instead of saying "North San Diego County". Pretty much everything north of La Jolla / Mira Mesa is considered "north county".

Didn't you guys watch LOST? Seriously though - the amount of things that went wrong with this flight do not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about flying to China in a couple weeks...:eek:

Thanks man, little tip of the hat to Trey. :) Oh, and nativetrash - I want one of those Hail Satans when they become commercially available! :D

Its nice to see that real Mexican food has made it to the Pacific Northwest. As a kid who grew up in Southern California and transplanted to Oregon in the late 90's I was dismayed at the lack of quality mexican restaurants and taco shops. I now live in San Diego, where you'd be hard pressed to...

Man, I love the way those etched enclosures look - so industrial! Here are a few of mine that I made - testors decal paper, a lazer jet printer, some automotive clearcoat, and lots of cursing usually. :D My first ever build, the Wookie Fuzz Face BMP Ram's Head Chorussey (Small Clone) Hot...

Man that turned out beautifully - Nice work Mr. M!!!!

Just bring it in to work with you, man. I sometimes have to haul my gear in the morning for an after work rehearsal. Even a bass in a hard case is going to expand from the heat, and go out of tune quickly, and that's just the short term effects! The worst that can happen is rumors start up at...

I thought they only did that in prison...

Just move to Colorado. Or Washington.

My wife and I were at the vet this morning and we did this together. She was mortified when I answered that I'd put her out of her misery as soon as she got infected... I gotta say a pitching wedge, a Bowie knife, and maybe a sword would be all I'd want/need. Oh, and a tank. :) 83 days is my...

I like Seu Jorge - but I don't speak portuguese...

My mom and sister are both police dispatchers, and my uncle was a cop. As you probably know, cops have a fairly limited social circle, ie - they only hang with each other. Point being - I spent alot of time around cops when I was a kid. I was in high school and we were tasked with making a...

That's awesome, congrats man!!!

I think this may be the greatest Godzilla movie ever BECAUSE of the special effects. The originals were super cheesy and fake, the one from 85 was much of the same SFX, the one from the 90's used what they had at the time, but in retrospect is also somewhat comical. The new trailers have me...

There is seriously no excuse for tribute/cover band members to not have their sh!t together. Everyone has the original music to practice, everyone should be working on their parts in their own time. The only thing that full band practice should entail is rehearsing the set, working on...
