Duc in the House

[DucRyder]

Hey Yall!

I'm a long time gear whore and six stringer who had his bass stolen (Epiphone Eb0 copy) and after a few years decided to build a partscaster 50s P-Bass style... all my google searches for good info on pickups, necks, strings etc ended up bringing me here, so I had to join. I was a regular at HC back in the day and have been over on TGP since '05 as well as a few other music sites. I've really enjoyed lurking here and hope to participate in the Bass side of the music madness here at TalkBass in the futurte.

There's a forum here that loves build/progress pics - Luthiers Corner - just sayin'

LOL! I could actually use one of those! I'm a Ducatisti starting out with a 900SS aircooled back in the late 90s and worked my way up to a 999R and 1098 before giving up road bikes because of a few near death experiences on Detroit area road ways. Thinking about a dirt bike currently...

There's a long-running thread call Bassist Who Ride Motorcycles - great place to talk bikes and bass.

I think you came to the right place!

Right on. I had a Monster before going nuts with rare Honda V4s and other Hondas. Fav bike, though, was a Triumph Speed Triple. I gave up bikes too. Welcome to TB!

I wanted a Honda RC30 since I was 14... apparently it was Massimo Tamburini's inspiration for the Ducati 916

I almost bought a 906 Paso, what a cool bike! You made me remember I had a 750 Sport for a little while...
