This is one of my latest. I dremel'd it before I even plugged it in lol. I cut the guard and removed some wood so I could adjust the truss without removing the neck (like my Laklands). I also installed a '99 fender bridge, drilled for and mounted the covers, and installed a roller tree for the A and D strings. I also plugged and redrilled for the 1/4lb pup nearest the bridge, so that it would be centered better under the strings. I'm loving this bass!

If by "cruise", you mean a buddy, a 12-pack and a few Seger/Kansas/Boston, etc. cassettes, then I'm with you. Every Saturday night that I didn't have a date for 2-3 years.
Pic was taken on the street in front of my house. The truck has been finished for about 5 years now. I also have a '92 Camaro RS that isn't in quite this shape, but is pretty decent. About three years ago, I sold a super low mileage, factory 4-speed, '81 Trans Am (that one paid for a couple of basses
). Jedi - Ever go to the cruise-in at Foothills Mall?

I miss those days. I was right out there with ya Jedi. I graduated in '88. I'd say I wore out my welcome on Main St.

Wow Jeff!! And, I still sorta miss my old Dingwall, but not enough to go back to playing one.
Lately I've been in a "the simpler the better" mode: sold my 6 string Roscoe, and only play 4 strings in my cover band.
Thanks! Nothing fancy, really. Very common tools for a very common bassist.
I like your custom Lakland; very Ritter-ish, if you don't mind my saying so.
Berg - Very nice instruments and rigs. Lovin' the purple Roya, but not sure I'm man enough to rock that!
Jeff (Rollerberg) is a great bassist... and he can sing. But he'll act like he's nothing special. Great guy!
Aww, thanks Jody! I wish my talent was up to the level of equipment I've compiled! Oldschool, I wasn't sure I was man enough to rock a purple bass until DR started making the neon pink strings...

Send me a PM when you have your schedule, I'd like to come check you guys out!
Hey dogbluedrummer, how's the gig scene up in the Tri-Cities area lately?
We're still trying to decide which drummer to pick, have 2 great candidates that want the job.
And, we're still looking for the right singing guitarist, someone who understands that we're gonna play mostly bass driven dance/pop/funk stuff and some older rock that's also bass heavy and dance-able. Lotta shredders in the area or guys that don't have a funky bone in their whole body LOL! But, we'll get there and I'll definitely let you know when we play.
