Why Does It Hurt When I Pee

I use a small 18 watt studio tube amp at 5 watts and just run it through a bass cab.

I have and use utensils that were made from curly maple that my uncle made from leftover scraps of Long Rifle stocks some 30 years ago.

Thanks a bunch, I will do that.

I've got this old 04 Affinity Jazz, bone stock electronics. I looked under the pick guard, and its basic cheap, though with large Pots. It plays and sounds just fine through my other amps. When I pair it with the 20 year old Hog 30 it hums like crazy, it can be mitigated about 60% by flipping...

I have refinished many vintage axes, a grinding wheels has always been a big no-no for a tempered edge, unless you have a lot of experience using one. For doing axes I have always used a good file for reprofiling the grind.

I concur with your assessment that a belt grinder is a better tool for metal working. I differ only in getting something bigger than a 1x30. I make knives as a hobby and find the 2x42 to be a good compromise between the little 1x30s and the very expensive 2x72 grinders. Variable speed is a huge...

Yup, Leo did not make basses for collectors, he made tools for working musicians. It was not until Fender opened up the custom shop and started making limited runs of contrived collectables specifically for collectors with more money than sense.

Hot glue should work, though I have never used it on anything that I wanted to glue permanently, it peels away from smooth surfaces very easily.

Looks like it was originally glued with a few dabs of something like a caulk. Contact cement or rubber cement would likely eat big cavities into the Styrofoam form. I would use construction adhesive "Liquid Nails" or similar without the volatile compounds that can melt the foam.

No- Sell the tesla and buy a vintage car made before computer chips or emission controls, that any shade tree mechanic can fix.

Grew up in a musical household, there were always all manner of instruments around. It was just a given that I would play something. Started on piano, moved to horns, then finally settled on strings.

Bootsy baby.

I use a .22 rifle and a shovel.

Too many choices confuse me.

The only reason I could see is if your strap button is on the heel of the neck, Shallers tend to jab my belly, those look like they have a much lower profile. I went with the low profile Loxx system on all my guitars and basses because a few of my guitars have buttons on the heel...

I am neither, I'm just a guy with a bass. I'm not a biker, but I own a motorcycle, not a gun nut, but I own a couple, not a fisherman but I have a rod and reel.

I picked up a Squier Affinity for about $80, put on new tuning machines, brass saddles and flats, sits in my office.

If you are patient and willing to do the legwork there are plenty of fine used Squire Strats out there for under $200. I just saw a Squier Standard Strat for $200 on FB marketplace, definitely a cut above an affinity. My local used guitar pusher has a half dozen old affinities for around 150 ea.

An Electric Upright

Yes, it would be worth about triple what I paid for it had I kept it. I bought it used for $350 in the early 80s and see them selling used for around 1200ish to 3K today. An Ovation Magnum I just like the one in the pic.

I have used heavy walled brass tubing to extend the bridge and extra inch or so, only works on top loading bridges. I seen other use small 1/4 sockets. This is currently how I am running SS Tapes on a Mini P

I run both guitar and bass through a small 18watt H&K tube guitar amp and a 1x12 bass cab. Its great for a smaller practice space. I don't take up to much of my very limited space with multiple amps and cabs.

I don't know metal, but they say on the internet active basses are good for that. which would lead me toward the Ibanez SR line, and they have a bunch of 5 string options if that's your bag. If you have a guitar you don't play, you could trade it for a bass. I traded an old Yamaha...

Back when I started the rest was on the treble side. :)

I know it's really a movie, but my introduction was Saturday morning cartoons

Buy the one that feels and sounds better to you.

I voted she should get the one that inspires her.

Depends on your definition of Budget, almost every player of note has a story about finding a great used instrument for cheap in a pawn shop.

Klein, it is the tool professional tradesmen depend on. For just strings, a 5 or 6 inch set of dykes will outlast you. https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Diagonal-Klein-Tools-D245-5/dp/B0002RI9PE
