Also this. You pretty much described my experience with the Prolite/SVP rig and my dually. Tunes or lead sled. Save class D for small gigs and grumpy old men.

That Blazer get's me going. Like 4 hours, seek medical attention type.
Sadly no the Meatsmoke is about as base as it gets, two channels no effects loop no slave out. I'm pretty sure i should just sack up buy another tube amp and a back brace. Maybe i just need to convince Corey to trade me Mr Grumpy for it and have my verellen/dunwich/greenboy gang bang. Erbody in the doom community be ruinin they pants over it.
What's wrong with it? Besides being stripped, that is.
Sounds hella weird with fuzz in the video I saw.
My place is $500 a month. Because I wasn't joking about subterranean pit. It's a basement of a carved up Victorian. My bed is below ground. It's hella illegal. No way could I afford a house.I understand completely. Im not looking at buying anything over my budget, and will actually be saving money every month. So hopefully none of those unforseen expenses will be too bad.
I am very familiar with all of this. My parents decided to have 4 sons so that we could take over the maintenance of their house.
And this is what I have been doing, but rent around here is on the rise. I see no reason to spend $1500 a month on rent for a small 1 bedroom, when I can spend $1,000 on a house.
I call dibs on the Mostly Harmless.
No effects loop? Lame. I might not use them, but I'd be loathe to buy a new amp without one.
With verellans customer service being the best in the biz, i wouldnt be surprised if ben would put a slave in on the amp for next to nothing.
nice one! Also gotta Blazer (82) in that Color. at least as good as my beloved mexican P. and I got it for a hundred bucks, the Prices start to rise for those (mostly around 400-600€ now in Germany).
To me they blow any MIM P out of the water. Neck feels so much better than a Mexican fender, body is really good wood, bridge is brass, stock they have great sounding dimarzios. It's been my main bass for 9 years now
I have an alder MN P with a model P and a high mass Bridge on it. I love em both! I prefer playin the P tho, cuz it has a forearm cut.
Man, I really want a fridge, or at least a 6x10. My guitarist would never keep up though, and fridges are few and far between used in Oz.
Gentrification is driving up prices. A slew of students, young doctors, and hipsters are willing to pay more to live in an up and coming part of town. A little upgrade in amenities is bringing in a huge price jump. When I moved in to my apartment my rent was $490 a month utilities included. Since then the utilities have gone to me, and every 6 months my landlord has contacted me about increasing rent. He thinks he can get $1200 a month for my place, and I just dont see a 500ft^2 apartment being worth that.
If I was on the other side of the state, I would have done like one of my friends did, buy a 10 story factory for $40k, live on the top floor, then rent the other floors as practice spaces.
My apartment is in a 100 year old house that has been cut in to three apartments. It isnt subterranean, but it isnt anything decent as a whole. The only reason I am in the position to buy a house is that I have worked 90 hour weeks for the last two years, and lived on a fraction of my earnings.
So glad I bought those USA Thunderbird pickups and put them on a jazz bass body. I love the tone of that bass. Think I may get a nice solid fancy wood Warmoth neck and swap to all black hardware for it. Or maybe try and build a five string version.
Vehicle repairs, had to fix my frig, and lots of migraines so yeah TFIF. Thank goodness for Kava.
I'd hook you up fat if you lived here in the states or wanted to pay the freight.
Dually 2 is finished. The builder is holding it for another week for testing purposes to avoid the issues we encountered with dually 1. I am very excited.
I'm gassing hard for a parts P. That wenge/bloodwood neck just stares me down every day.
Did you take that neck off of that parts P bass? With that Gibson Humbucker in the jazz bass neck position I can cop p bass tones, more round and tubby but still in the ballpark.
