i've been on talkbass too long

[murphy]

OP disappeared.....What happened????

H

OP disappeared.....What happened????

His time ran out on TB. Reread the title.

 

[LowActionHero]

Neither are passed out and dead. Yet Keef has successfully managed to blur the lines between all three. He's got superpowers, I tell ya...

We had a DJ here that used to say Keith died years ago but the cocaine wouldn't let his body quit moving.

Is that a stain I see? Hope not. Thats against Rule 38.

Just sayin'...

Remnants of a Febreze touch up. Corollary to Rule 38.

Here I thought the OP was going to say they had been on TB too long because they were starting to see the same topics come around multiple times...

* A near naked bass, clad only in a wisp of tort, posed suggestively in bed.
* A mysterious stain explained away with the thinnest of excuses.
* An allusion to "topics" that "come (around) multiple times".

Come on people! Do I have to connect ALL the dots for you?
Don't surrender this site to the purveyors of Bass porn.
And remember: Tort is a gateway drug!!

Not nice to tort-shame

#metort?

 

[pablotries]

Tort + Rosewood fretboard were meant to be together

Though my Blacktop Jazz is heavy and I would love to replace the body with a lighter white blonde ash version with reversed P's and strings through.... the tortoise shell pg helps me be patient. LOL
I'm especially pleased with it now that I've restrung it with GHS Balanced Nickels. I've been annoyed with bass strings prior to these and have tried lots over the past 54+ years (guitar is my main thing), particularly the variance between 1st and 4th.
These are so consistent from string to string, in terms of tone, feel and tension! It's like a new bass.

Roll/fold up the blanket to support the neck. Now it's legit. I used to do this sometimes when changing strings, etc.

Do these count if my bed is the gf's couch?

Is that your dog in your avatar? Those are so seriously impressive (and cute!) ears.

Thank you. That is Henry, my little dude. Those ears are just as epic in real life!

Tort is the best for hiding those unsightly stains from nocturnal emissions

 

[Maartenaerts]

Ok, picture is a bit to dark, but the tort makes it sound a lot better!

 

[Geri O]

Well, I was thinking, I have a cool tort pick guard on this Mike Lull P5, but....

Now I'm thinking I need to get a, what, more intense?, tort pick guard made for it....WDMusic to the rescue, like this nice red pearloid for the M5V....
