I've something similar in brown with fringe, and bought a suede fringe strap to go with it.... did someone say a minor barre chord on a bass?

Pretty hard to pull that off convincingly. More so for me.

What I did do this week was come into the care of a pair of Fender "medium" pick earrings glammed up with guitar string. Maybe good for a few open inversions a night!

I asked the lady who makes them if she has any plans for bass clef. She replied she hasn't found anything suitably fetching yet (paraphrase). Great folks to deal with and learned of them here at TB Repurposed Guitar String Jewelry

The problem, if viewed as a problem, is nobody can see my earrings when I wear my hair down.

Perhaps, a pick nose ring (or, some other inversion of those three words)?

I'm out!

My kids have been telling me I'm a GOF for awhile now. Could I at least get a number to show that I am? LOL...

Truthfully I've lost track of who was handling the numbers.

 

[StereoPlayer]

BTDT, too!

Our first gig!

Hey, buddy! You're playing the wrong chord, here!!! It's an Asus, not a D, dude! Note the Asus double-stop I'm playing.

Edit: adding some music theory...

Does that Ric on the stand have a pad on back of it?

Welcome #31573. Wear it with pride and add it to your signature. There are probably many more GOF's who don't realize they have numbers but, at least you do .

We are responsible for our own numbers. Sounds familiar, at least in the US .

Welcome. Your self serv number is your first post in the thread, 30134.

Welcome you GOF. Your number is 31573. That's your first post number, it's assigned by a TalkBass automated system that old people can cope with.

Is it the cigarillo or the squint?

 

[bobyoung53]

I only "pay" for it in my car, but you down also listen on your other devices. When I renewed last month (you need to call them and tell them that you are cancelling, that is how I get a low monthly rate), I confirmed that with my basic in-car plan, I can listen on my phone or laptop...no additional costs!

Years ago I got it free online too, guess I haven't complained enough recently. They did refund me about 50.00 a few months ago, I hadn't listened to it in a long time, maybe that's the money they have to send to ASCAP, BMI etc?

Those may figure into it.

He's still a skinny dude. What's he need with a serape?

My rauna is knee length and absolutely nobody would mistake me for that guy, I figure. And working hard not to type the name of the garment that will change the algorithm for the ads I see

The hat. It's the hat, amirite?

Yes, no hat for me. I play topless. As in no hat. I hate wearing hats.

Does that Ric on the stand have a pad on back of it?

Yes, it does. This is the second 4001 I have seen with one. The first was the first 4001 (a '72 or early '73 FG) I ever got to play that was owned by an old friend in high school. The MG 4001 is from March 1973 and is currently with a friend of mine. When I found the bass I thought that it might have been Gary's that I played in HS and refinished, but it turned out not be that one (the MG finish is the factory original), so, at least, two early '70s 4001s have them.
