Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I have a road bike in storage, and rode a fixed gear for a couple years. blah blah hipster whatever, it was great exercise and really gives you better control over the bike as a whole. When I worked as a merchandiser for an ice cream company for a few years I would ride between my stops as long as it wasn't raining (being wet in freezers leads to no good). I miss it, my wife won't ride a bike in the city so I rarely ride anymore as it's not convenient for getting places if she isn't getting there the same way , and I work in an office where I can't show up looking like a mess every day.

Lots if single speed hipsters in Colorado. Not sure if you need a beanie and wool scarf in 90 degree weather while riding a bike, but mofos do that shite all day in downtown.

PS, Ron you could never be a hipster, or a narc. <3

Who's needs a light bike. My 70s Schwinn Continental weighs like 65lbs. Its all about momentum for me, Me 220lbs + 65lbs bike + whatever I'm carrying = you can't stop the ho train. It may take a bit longer/work a bit harder to get up to speed but once im there I coast a long ways and don't have to work as hard to stay going. But that said with the original brakes still on that bvtch...what brakes.

Oh I did get that geddy jazz. So it had bass lines and an active preamp but no routes. Then it had a hipshot d tuner added as well. I went for it as I wanted a two pickup bass and the 70's position jazz bass is new to me.

I need to identify the preamp and pickups and sell them. Then figure out what's to go in there and add new pickups tdb and go for like vvt and series/ ric bridge cap switch/es and if I commit, route for my ric-o-sound stereo jack.

Probably do chromes on it.
