Cruel cruel man-
I love the way they look, but I can't play them to save my life.I would say so! That is a killer looking bass! I love unlined fretlessessesesses!

Well just as I posted above the doorbell rang and it's here. It's a beautiful instrument and my first impressions are very positive, I'll know more tonight at rehearsal but I think I've made a great choice.
Props to Brim for selling me a fantastic bass. Here's a pic he took:

Yikes!
yeah, I wouldn't say they were hit with the ugly stick...but it looked like someone built a house with nothing but ugly sticks...and they went in the house, and the whole house fell on them
It had a pickguard at one point, the holes are there. I don't know if I'm every going to add one since I like the thumb rest so much... maybe I will down the line.
DOUG, I did not get an acrylic. I just got another oil coat or whatever it is on it. The flats are there to stay, so there should be no reason for acrylic. I'd prefer not to, but we'll see how the board holds up to my beast of a left hand.
not fair! I was out for a few days! ;-)
meanwhile, Nessie has arrived to the guy who will get her over the pond. His description was, "I have no words, it's a killer!"

What?!? You won't sell the Glaub!
Hmm, wonder what our Ps would look like w/ swapped necks?? You could refin my headstock. Just thinking aloud.... not real sure about the blocks. They kinda limit PG choices, me thinks...
Just pondering, so don't hyperventilate or anything.

An overly simplified and likely butchered translation:
It's a 4 string passive bass with the new Chee Sonic pickups. Humbucker with a Single Coil sound. / it's a bass that looks alot like a Gibson Thunderbird, but there are some differences. / The bass comes in this red color, and I put the white pickguard on to make it look more interesting. / Not available in Sparkling Turd. / The controls are like a Jazz bass, but with different sounds. / This is Markus' hat. He doesn't know I have it. / The neck pickup has a very full sound. / With both pickups it has an interesting sound. / It's a bass best designed to play rock, among other things. And blues. / I'm using some of the bridge pickup but this is mostly from the neck pickup. / It's a Lakland Deecade and is available everywhere. / I wish they made a 5 string Skyline P-Bass.
I think I got most of it, but some of it doesn't seem right.![]()
Had a great time last night. Had calzones and stouts w/ Aaron and his coworker who's also a musician (poor guy barely got a word in).
Got to see his basses, LPB definitely IS more striking in person! And, that non-ACDJ is super cool- light, small and sexy. And the Glaub neck felt great, unlike all the Fen**r P necks that have always seemed to feel too big.
We had no time for strippers and spooning though, I had to work. My dachshund was SO disappointed.
Aaron brought his basses with him???? man- he travels right for business!!!!
Calzones and Stout? sounds WAY to heavy for me.....love them both but NOT together.....
BTW - if you are ever in Waukesha Wisconsin, see if a place called Jimmy's Grotto is still there...they had KILLER Calzones 20 years ago....nice and (urp!) greazzy!
AND WE HAVE A BINGO!!!![]()
Yeah, cool place but not where the hotties go on a Monday night.
Although... we did see that naked chickand she was built!

If you ever come to SF we will go in reverse order...we might not have time to talk about Basses
We do that here all the time!
