I know he is mostly associated with that tune/video and style but we liked the other tune better!!!

Those all look great! Does the 54 Lollar have SC hum?

I had one of those Capris too when I first moved to LA. The TR7 replaced it actually. I think it was an iron 4 but not sure. The gas gauge didn't work (bought it used) and I had to be really good at watching mileage so I'd know when to fill it up. It had manual transmission and was pretty...

Great basses. I saw one in GC today that was $900 off list price. White.

Scary. My two were fine mechanically (one was totalled by a friend, actually not his fault, and the other was a replacement). The second one rusted out after five seasons of NY winters. They weren't very well rust and salt proofed back then. Now, the Alfa Romeo, that was another story...

I had a Craftsman electric chain saw for decades (needed a power cord), maybe 30 years. It finally gave up the ghost a couple of years ago when the plastic frame collapsed in on itself. No fixing that one!!!

I had two Fiats and an Alfa Romeo that had manual chokes, in the 70's.

I remember that cheesy show!!!!

I have an early player p (2018) and haven't had any issues with the tuners. I added a detuner on the E string.

Our band plays "Giving It Up" also, it's a fun tune but not one of my favorites. One we just added that people seem to like and is fun to play is Robert Palmer's "Bad Case of Loving You"..

Same here.

They all look great!!

I just saw the silver sparkle player 75 on the wall in GC about an hour ago. Very cool. I have two Player I basses, a J and a P. They are both great. Probably will play the J this weekend at a gig. It's the least gigged but I am working on it :cool:

Around here, this explains some of the local sound issues.

I feel the same way. Most of the time there are only one or two original members and they’re hanging on by a thread to their voice and playing. I love all that old music, but some of these bands are just tribute bands now in essence.

Besides the ridiculous prices, this is one of the reasons I stopped going to big shows years ago. That and the younger patrons who insist on talking or shouting through the whole show and always seem to be seated right in front or right behind me. Also as I get older and the world gets crazier I...

I took a weekend bass guitar class with Oteil Burbridge at Fur Peace Ranch a number of years ago. He agreed the sound is usually less than ideal in arena and Stadium shows. He called them “sonic hell holes”.

At least they tell you it has AI. Unlike movies which seem to be all AI these days. And ads. And social media photos and videos. Etc....ugh..

I have two of them one 600 and one 900. They're my only amps except for a TC used as a backup.

K The drummer’s name was “Communicable Disease”

They are called pantographs. Some trains, like the NY commuter trains, use them when a third rail is not available. Then they switch to the third rail when one is present. I think the concept is called a catenary.

I think Philadelphia still has them.

Cool. I have a Canon high speed scanner that has seen heavy use for probably 7 or so years. Since it feed sheets it is somewhat sensitive to paper integrity (it chokes at staples for instance) but it runs great and I feed it huge stacks of paper to scan regularly. I am also a user of their photo...

That has been my experience- ink lasts a long time. Actually just did a separate post about it. :cool:

I replaced our Brother laser printers and our various Epson inkjet cartridge printers a couple of years ago with an Epson EF-3760 inkjet that uses refillable liquid inkwells instead of cartridges. This is WAY better and the ink lasts a long time. No fees or subscriptions and the wifi connections...

We see a fair number of them in the wildlife rehab center where I volunteer. We had one last year that was electrocuted on the power line and still alive (for a while,, anyway :() . Burned feathers.

I agree. I used my wireless yesterday, (and my IEM's) one less cord to step on!!!!

We handle these characters all the time in my volunteer work. They are feisty. :cool:

Yesterday 5-8 Sunday afternoon restaurant/bar/music venue. Jupiter, Florida. Big, loud, FOH (my water bottle is on a large subwoofer, one of a pair), IEM, sound person, my kind of gig. But small however enthusiastic audience. Sundays are usually slow. Get some boaters after they come in from...

I am open to whoever knows more about this than I do!!!

No 9# isn't bad, I just like them lighter in general. The Squier CV just FEELS much heavier than its actual weight. I didn't really think reshaping the PB-50 headstock would lose much weight, it just looks cooler so it might be worth doing. Marginal weight loss would be a plus. My Fiesta Red...

This is what our stage setup looked like yesterday with our 4 piece. My water bottle is on one of a pair of large subwoofers, one on each side of the stage. There are multiple wedges behind the low wooden wall and large overhead FOH speakers. And a dedicated sound person. It's loud out there ...

Second gig of the weekend. Sunday 5 to 8 slot at a local bar restaurant where we play frequently in different bands. Small crowd just a few boaters after docking and a few musician friends. But we had fun and got to play some of our new tunes again live which is always helpful. I love playing in...

I can make one from my Squier I suppose. I have to work on my carpentry skillls or lack of them.

Thanks!!!

I've seen your photos before. VERY cool. Interesting that your SB is also quite a bit heavier than the FR's. Even with the headstock reshape.

I saw your info on that a while back, it's intriguing. I have the Squier CV version with the tele headstock (also a beast at over 9#) I could use as a guide if I was ambitious enough to tackle it. Ultralight tuners would help too. I might do those changes as the thing is, as you say, a great...

I have two HB PB-50 single coil 1950's type P Basses. One weighs 8.7# (FR) and the other 9.5# (SB) . The 9.5# plays and sounds really great but is pretty heavy for me. Also had two HB-PB-20 Satin Black P basses bought around the same time. One weighed weighed 7.5# and the other 8.9#. The 7.5#...

I want to ask you the same question I asked @DionClassic . Do your single coils hum?

Do you get hum from that single coil? I love the bass. I worry about gigging a single coil at someplace new as the hum can be unpredictable.
