How many Precision bassists does it take to change a light bulb.

[Gothic]

maple or rosewood light bulbs ?

Well, it'll have to be VERY thin strips, but evidently rosewood would give out a much darker hue than maple.

What has the most effect on the light's tone; the glass or the
metal screwshell?

Neither, tone is all in how you flip the lightswitch.

In what order should I run the effects on my light bulbs?

This thread is awesome. Productivity = 0

So I've decided to refinish my my bulb and have been sanding for hours. It's not that hard to repaint it, right? I want to put new hardware and paint on it to make it look like Nikola Tesla's bulb!

How many bassists does it take to change a lightbulb?

101, 1 to change the bulbs, 100 to fight off all the guitards hooging the light.

Btw, I put an audere preamp on my bulb, really opened up all the frequencies. Its like a new bulb.

Gotta love this lighthearted humor.

Help me decide on a shade. Tort or mint chip flake?

So this guy at Lightbulb Center wants me to buy this bottle of stuff to clean my Mogul-base threads with. Will this really let the light through the bulb faster?

Precision players dont change lightbulbs - It takes years to build up the funk in those old bulbs.

 

[sigmafloyd]

Production quality is terrible on all lightbulbs today. I invented my own new lightbulb design. Just take what you're paying now and add a few thousand to it.

Some guy was trying to sell me a vintage 70's Ampeg, but I called him out on his scam, I said "no one's gonna pay you $1000 just because it has all those lights inside silly!!"

I just bought a new lightbulb. I haven't tried it out yet but I think the light will look better if I change the filament. What is the best replacement filament to use to improve my light bulb?

 

[artdrtr]

Can I replace the generic logo on the light bulb with a GE logo?

 

[Unprofessional]

No! No! No! Monster filaments are just an overpriced rip-off. It's scientifically proven that they make absolutely no difference in your light.

Should this be moved from Bulb Humor & Lighting Stories to a more appropriate forum?

I just got a new sunburst bulb and a tort lampshade. 'Now looking for a gold replacement switch.
Does anyone know if I need the "standard" or "short" switch? 120V or 277V?
Also, I want the light to look just as good standing near it as it does from 50 feet away.
I've just bought a fancy new cover for my old bulb, but now I can't see the light...
Are these bulbs supposed to get hot? Mine is.
Do you recommend turning the power off to the bulb when you leave the stage or do you leave it on?
Friend mine is want custom he new bulb. He open up bulb, all cheap Chinese parts. You no where gold filament store be? He want all inside new USA part, top quality. He good soldererer.
What's all this talk about these new LED bulbs? Sure they are "light", but the color spectrum is just not there. I prefer the old timey incandescents myself.
How do you keep fingerprints off of your bulbs?
Does this bulb come in blue?
Can I turn on a 100 watt bulb and two 60 watt bulbs on at the same time, or will the phasing stun me?

 

[iJazz]

I hear GE is importing some nice bright bulbs from China. I guess they're calling them Candels.

[DarthTainess]

You mean, like a soft-white bulb?

Nah, it's gotta be red with a black filament.

 

[shadowtippy]

Used my Ampeg Maglite 3Pro with the metal dudes last night, I don't know what you guys say about it being underpowered, it held up to the two Marshall spotlights and a very bright drummer just fine.

Sorry, Toastfuzz, but who is going to believe the part about the "very bright drummer"?
Other than that, you are a shining example to us all.

Back in my day we never changed lightbulbs. They were too expensive, so what we would do is boil them to restore their brightness.
