I don't even know the secret words and I'm already skeered of getting whacked!
@Al Kraft how are ya?
My new cheapo Sterling by Music Man bass. It sure seems nicely built for the cost. Haven't had a chance to play it yet...

Isn't there a GoFundMe for a gig a current thread too?
That looks really nice. I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you @LBS-bass ! I wish I could afford the real thing but you know what, this bass is soooo nicely made! I will post my thoughts after changing strings and trying it out.
I just posted a "fire the drummer?" thread, so apparently trouble is contagious this week.

Do you know what stings are best suited to you and this bass?

That's the weird thing about a bass. Knowing rhythms.
Will that's one handsome looking bass and from my experience the natural howl of a MM style bass lends itself to steel roundwounds. Yes I know Bernard Edwards played his 'Ray with flats at some point or multiple points. It's the MM pup in the MM position , plus the availability of a ready-made thumbrest that makes the Ray a Ray. Or maybe it's because of Leo listening to Entwistle and wondering how to best that. If he did. Which I doubt. Or maybe it was the Scotch.

Prolly 30 years ago...my Bride thought they were speaking The Irish most of the time we were there...catching 30% of what was being said.
My little cousin, Regina, maybe 7 or 8 years old, is going through a kitchen drawer, making a racket so that my Nanny asked her to stop.
My Bride, looking to connect with the child, walks over that way to help...and Regina looks up at her and says "Every fekkin' ting but a fekkin' screwdriver!"
My Nanny never skipped a beat of our conversation, while my Bride began to laugh so hard she couldn't catch her breath.

Went to a hockey game in FTL Thursday night, Friday was spent at the State Fair in Tampa, Back home Saturday with an American Legion gig in Ft. Pierce Sat. night. Sunday, ?. Maybe Jam session, maybe sitting in front of the flat screen.Thanks for reminding me @Morrighan
Attention all GOF's! Report in that all/or some/or maybe how many toes fingers and appendages are accounted for, and weekend plans please. Carey and I are doing our continuous small home cleanup. We buy too much in the winter and it always feels like something is falling out of some cupboard somewhere. But it feels great to get it done. Weather is around 30 degrees F here.
Tomorrow we are going to see 1917. My grandfather was in The Great War. Dad was in WWII. I missed Vietnam by a hair. Half of my AIT company went to Vietnam and the other half (including me) went to West Germany. Anyway, we went to historic war sites while I was in the Army compliments of American Express weekend tours that were inexpensive designed to keep young soldiers out of trouble LOL.
Sunday is always our day of rest. Hopefully we'll get a hunk of dead beast and slow-cook a roast, watch an English show we love called 'Call the Midwife.' We are excited about Season 4 of The Crown.
