Do you guys ever get GAS to buy a guitar?
Of course ... I was a guitarist ('59 - '66) before was a bassist ('66 - '15); so I have natural affinity for guitars. In fact, I just bought 3 over the last 2 days. What can I say ... I'm nearly 71, so I do because I can!- P-BASS BILL

What a pleasure dealing with another great TB seller. Excellent communication, fast ship, well packed and WHAT A BODY ... (the Jazz Bass Body ... c'mon, people; this is a serious, adult conversation here). The pictures didn't do it justice. Looked like the day it left the factory. I couldn't...- P-BASS BILL

WHICH PUP MANUFACTURER MOST CLOSELY DUPLICATES VELVET HAMMER PUPS
Snaxter ... you hit the nail on the head ... APPROXIMATES is a more accurate word. If you don't mind, what did they finally go for? $175-200? The reason I asked about a "close to Velvet Hammer pickup" from a current supplier was mostly based on the extreme unlikelihood of finding a set for...- P-BASS BILL

WHICH PUP MANUFACTURER MOST CLOSELY DUPLICATES VELVET HAMMER PUPS
I have need for a set of Red Rhodes VELVET HAMMER pups for a P Bass build I'm looking into. Now, my first choice would be to find a set, NOS or used ... PERFECT!!! Failing that, which if any of the currently available manufacturers makes a pup that most closely duplicates Red's beauties?- P-BASS BILL

Are You A Natural Or A Neophyte?
Started playing guitar in '59 (a big Airline arch top). Played rhythm guitar in a band from '61 to '66 and then switched to bass and have been there ever since! I enjoyed playing guitar ... but LOVE playing bass. It came so naturally it was as though I had been born to play bass.- P-BASS BILL

Cleaning and reusing strings?
Many years ago, while visiting Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, I got to talking with one of the guys there and he put me on to boiling. That was probably 30+ years ago and it's worked for me. Just ask you wife if it's OK to use her big chili pot BEFORE you fill it up with water, a dash of salt...- P-BASS BILL

paying rent to rehearse at a band member's home
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!! Absolutely NO! I created a "band room" in the basement of our new home when we built it. My bandmates only had to bring their guitars (and only because they wanted to), since I had everything set up and ready to go ... all the time.- P-BASS BILL

Is an 18 better than a 15?
I've used 15" JBL 140F's in a pair of "Joe's Sound & Salami" bins for decades and have no complaints. Nicely portable too ... except they're heavy as hell!- P-BASS BILL

Why is the bass inherently more rhythmic?
I've played for 50 years, but feel a little intimidated posting my thoughts here since I've had ZERO formal musical training ... so here goes. Baja Clarkko and Ulf Buck hit on something that I feel as well. When I'm playing and I'm in the groove with my drummer, we mutually reinforce each...- P-BASS BILL

Real difference between MIM and MIA
Well, I had a MIA original 1972 Jazz, Natural Ash / Maple w/Pearl Bloxs and a 1973 Precision Natural Ash / Maple, but I did 90% of my playing with my MIJ reissue '62 P Bass for 28 years ... by choice!

Fired from a band because........
Your story reminds me of a line from the movie, "Jersey Boys", when Nicki keeps saying: "Maybe this is a good time for me to start my own group."
