    Post your old/stupid band pics!! (the more embarrassing the better) Part 2!

    Circa 2004. The band name was A Lot of Fire, generic hardcore/thrash of the time. Should've been called A Lot of Mismatched Guitar Riffs. I'm the guy with the Henry Rollins neck in the back with the cheap Ibanez GTO bass. +2 exp for the Beavis sticker. This was before a show at CBGB's, why or...

    I have Wilkinson Pbass pups in my Glarry, and they sound pretty good for the price. It's a good cheap alternative for stoke pups :D

    Hell yeah! I love Big Daddy Roth's creations! Dude was a wizard and a spaz :D I had the models when I was a kid, and then I found the record he did of 60's surf music at a Salvation Army. That was a trip!

    Now I just need some black tuners. The name is a cross between the Ed Roth character Rat Fink & the Misfits song "RATTFINK". I also had to put him on there too lol. D'Addario NYXL 105-45s, pretty good feeling strings, not too bright or too dark, just right. I may opt for a custom shop 62' set...

    Not unless it gets a real beating ;) I made a wooden headstock holder 7 years ago that I handcarved out for guitars to do my work, and I stained it Sedona Red. I haven't touched it up yet and it still looks brand new.

    I have an ABY pedal with open/close switches that runs without a power supply. Doesn't color the sound either, I found it by chance on Reverb for $30 and it works great. Want a link? :smug: (I'm not selling mine btw lol)

    Hell yeah! Run em' both with an ABY pedal and play with the EQ ;)

    That's the one I used. Mine was matte black and it stuck well.

    Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

    True, I mean it's already mismatched lol. But I want to keep it all Hipshot I think, the 1 tuner I have is so smooth. So next one I buy I'll put it on the D string :roflmao: The only thing i'm missing is some straplocks...

    Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

    Yeah for sure, it came out pretty good. It was my first time painting one but it was a lot easier than I imagined. I just gave it a light sand and did 3 coats color, 3 coats clear. Let it cure for 2 days and it was smooth. It hasn't even scratched from playing, so I'd say it came out exactly how...

    Aside from the decals and the ahem, 3 chrome tuners ::mutter mutter:: she's as good as gold. Had to shim the neck to adjust the angle, who knew a chinese takeaway box would be the perfect thickness? :D Once the decals come in and I don't have to go work i'll send some better pics.

    What tubes did you put in the Bugera? It's a single in the power section yeah? For $19 I may have to check that out!

    Amazon definitely has some sleeper pedals for dirt cheap. I bought a Donner Rat clone for $20 and it was more ratty than the original rat lol. I almost bought that Infinium combo 3 times now, but I wind up with Orange every time. Also, I love those Marshall 20w tube heads. How is the DSL20? I...

    SO PUNK! :roflmao: You know the E string is the most important one ;)

    Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

    TIL that I should read the fine print. I paid for 1 black Hipshot tuner and not a set of 4 :roflmao: I guess I'll set it up with it and 3 of the chromes until I can afford 3 more. :unsure: That price was a little TOO good lol.

    Looking good! I've never hung mine, I'm too afraid lol. I still use my old road rack that holds 7, on the floor, where they can't fall... The fear is real :eek:

    That's a beauty! I was debating on getting one their teles down the line, and you pretty much sealed it for me :D

    Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

    This is why I (and probably most of us here I believe ;)) decided to buy a $90 bass and put $125 worth of parts on it to get close enough to that sound without buying one for the price of a used 2005 Hyundai Accent :smug:

    The bridge dropped right in, no hassle. Used the supplied screws with the bridge and fit in nice and straight. Any part I can drop in with no fuss means, 'not all corners were cut' :D A few were definitely cut as I found out when I stripped her bare on day 1 lol.

    Yeah I noticed the weight of those, and the neck is quite light. The neck on my Hondo back in the 90's was half a Louisville Slugger as well - but thankfully I have big hands :roflmao:

    Official Exquisite/Glarry/Burning Fire Bass Club?

    Yeah, it's a Hipshot Kickass bridge, High Mass. I like somewhat higher action on my P's, and it should counter balance the neck dive from that baseball bat of a neck ;)

    Body work done. Had to route a little bit for the pots and use the og hardware for the new pickups, but she came together pretty well. All that's left is the neck and just put the last coat of clear on the front of the headstoke in the alleyway :D

    Non-bassists say the darnedest things

    My wife asked me the other night, "isn't that supposed to sound like a bass?" I said, well what do you think a bass sounds like? She says, "I don't know, but I didn't think basses sounded like that on their own." I said they don't sound like that on their own. ::silence:: "...what?" You need to...

    Band quitting spree. Maybe I AM the problem.

    I started playing in bands as a teenager in the 90's, I played both bass and 6 string - but everyone wanted to be the guitar player. It was fine, I was just glad to jam with people and play live, so I took up bass. I'm self taught and my ear helped me pick things up fast. I got a lot of...

    Wow, they really did finish dark! Those look pretty sweet. Idk what it is about them, but the elephant ear tuners on a P Bass just feel right to me. I debated going the same route as you, but the elephant ears are just so damn cool. I'll probably have to fill and drill too, just a Glarry thing lol.

    Fantastic! I used to love a good Modelo. Back when I drank years ago Negro Modelo was my go to. I was a dark beer guy - a meal in a bottle was a meal indeed :) Cheers!

    I checked them out, a bit pricier than I would like - but I like their selection. Wound up giving the Hipshot small frames a go. The Stratosphere; where I got the Wilkinson tuners from has a great return policy, so the Hipshot tuners are paid for :D Thank you for the suggestion Eats! I may get...

    Those are both cool options. Mirrored would be cool, but could also be too much lol.

    Question of the day: Which elephant ear tuners are good drop-ins for the size on the GP headstock? The mounting plate on the Wilkinson tuners I bought are too big. I thought to grind the plates down to size, but if there's a better drop-in option - I'm all (elephant) ears. I don't mind filling...
