CWB 12 - The Dirty Dozen

[PassivAggressiv]

PA, that is freaking gorgeous (like's it owner!). Can't wait to see how it sounds.

wow, PA, congrats - that's beautiful.

PA, that bass is gorgeous! I've never had a completely custom bass built before and don't know if I ever will, but I'll certainly live vicariously through yours (though you might want to clean it after I "live vicariously" )

I'm so jealous! That is an absolutely stunning bass.

Nice, enjoy! Beautiful bass!

That looks great. Have a fantastic time with it.

Awesome!!! So excited for you!

Thanks, all. I'll be sure to post some CWB pics after I get it.

Bless you.


Actually, I can't wait to hear some audio clips or even see some live video of it in action.

How long until the MM is for sale?

I plan to keep it. It wasn't my first bass, but definitely my first love. The nice thing about basses is that you can have as many as you want and they won't get jealous of each other.

Thanks. If only Skype had a "touch" feature...

That would also add an interesting dimension to our CWB parties.

I'm just getting into skype. Jackie's 14 year old niece in southern California just took up the bass a few months ago. I've helped her with basics of the instrument and got her started via skype. I also use it to keep in touch with my old Florida and Maryland friends.

Will do.

Warn us before you post the pics.


Between your beauty and the Clement some of us may have to um... put protective plastic over our computers before we view.




Wow, did I really type that?


Sorry Thor.

It's def. very handy for bass lessons. Some people use it for other purposes. That's why Dave has to keep the bottle of Windex next to his computer, he's always getting the screen all sticky.

LOL. I think I've never been so eager to get my hands on something!

Just booked my band's first gig. So excited!!

That's awesome. Be sure to get video for us.

I have a gig tonight with the Green Ridge Runners and next week I'll have a gig with Feral again. These are my first gigs in a while. I took a break while everything was super crazy. The guys in both projects were very supportive and patient.

It's time for me to get busy again.

I'll see what I can do. Should have some songs up in the next couple of weeks, too. The ones on the site were recorded before I joined, but we just need vocals recorded for 3 new ones then they're off to be mixed.

Congrats Derek!

There is nothing more fun and exciting (that you can do in public) than playing out with a new band.

I *knew* you were good. That's something only the best of the best stalkers would be able to prove in court.

Today marks 13 months that I've been here on TB and there 13 months since I got serious about being a bassist. I missed the one year anniversary as my mind was preoccupied.

I am a mod at a drum forum that I've belonged to for more than five years. It's a small forum but we pride ourselves on helping newer drummers and being friendly. When I decided to get serious about the bass it made sense to look for a bass forum to help me along. I joined on January 10th 2011 and became a supporting member as soon as I realized that was possible.

TB in general has helped me greatly with my growth as a bassist.

And then there is CWB... I stumbled on the first thread early on and have been here ever since. I have been more vocal at times and less vocal others, but I'm always here. The group on here has been incredibly supportive of me during the toughest time in my life. I can't find words to tell you all how much that means.

Thanks for accepting this drummer/wannabe bassist into your fold. (You are all stuck with me.)

I'm Skyping with the Missus (Apple FaceTime actually) right now.

Anybody know anything interesting to do in Phoenix? Sounds like tomorrow I'm going to see the Coyotes/Blackhawks game.

Me too!

...and it sounds like our band is booked for a fund-raiser on May 5 (finally!). This will be a full 3 set headline show.

That's awesome. I'm hoping that my band will be doing something in the very near future. I'm having fun at our practices, but I want to play out!

It is the best for sure. Lots of fun to have an audience to give you that immediate feedback. That is if you are well rehearsed and there are no technical disasters.
