    Seafoam green: the pepto-bismol of greens

    I’ve seen so many different shades of sea foam green that I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like. Sometimes it looks like surf green, and other times it looks almost radioactive. Even Fender has multiple interpretations of sea foam. I once looked up “sea foam green” in several paint...

    The official Ibanez Blazer/Roadstar Club

    Until the boomerang gets loose and turns sideways, aligns with the strap slit, and slips through. I find them too finicky when putting the strap back on, after it falls off. It usually happens while I am busy practicing, when I Am Not In The Mood to dork with it. BTW I have a 1986 RB690 in...

    NBD - Fender American Original 60s Precision in Surf Green

    I’ve noticed this diversity of interpretation of SFG too. Other guitar makers are guilty too. It’s as if they were working off a text description rather than a paint color code. “It’s a bright medium blue with a little green.” Ocean Turquoise is all over the place too. Is it green or is it...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    “Ginger” instantly brought Gilligan’s Island to mind. And then crusty old drummers. I suspect electric guitars’ real purpose is to create cables. Like cooking’s main result is dirty dishes, and carpentry’s is sawdust.

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    thanks! Yesterday, I didn’t see the horizontal lines* on the right-hand side. <middleAgeLament> I didn’t see the lines because they are dark gray on a black background! Older folks have more...let us say, more leisurely vision. A higher contrast would be appreciated. </middleAgeLament> I can...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    How do you reorder effects in Fender Tone 3.0? I went to the amp preset page, brought up the Reorder Signal Chain, and I see the list of the preset’s effects. Each entry has red circle with white bar. I can’t drag the entries around to reorder them. I can’t quite remember how I did it in the...

    New Ibanez (headless, multiscale)

    I wonder how Ibanez decided how many to manufacture in this first batch? It sounds challenging to predict demand for a non-boutique headless bass, especially for the multiscale model. I mean, Ibanez can’t exactly extrapolate from their own recent sales figures because they don’t have any...

    New Fender Rumble Stage 800?

    I don’t understand the “Google search” part. I am using an iPhone, safari browser, Tone app (open & connected to internet), studio 40 is on & connected to Fender Tone. So I tried this: * open Safari * open google.com * enter “Johnny marr”, get more hits than # atoms in universe any...

    The Soundgear Club

    I wonder if they improved the finish on the standard brown SR500E. It was notoriously fragile on the SR500.

    The official Ibanez Blazer/Roadstar Club

    I own a Roadstar II RB 690, made in 1986. I bought it in 1987, my first bass. I was going to learn bass, but then Life Happened. I was finally able to start lessons in November 2017, only 30 years after purchasing it. I knew nothing about electric guitars, only acoustic, so I didn’t really...

    Fender Mustang Club

    Is that an airplane? I feel defeated. An electric bass is traveling in such luxury, while I’ve only ever been in coach. BTW, short scales don’t need that much legroom.
