I have played both instruments, but never to a point of rising above being "bad" at them. With bass, on a good day I feel mediocre.

RR, with comments like "I feel mediocre", you could get yourself flagged for being overly "braggadocious"....
When are you going to reveal the combo hidden under the sheet?

The size of the PJB BG-400 makes it appear a lightweight carry when it's actually 40 pounds

Ignore the actual rig behind the curtain.
Same as it never was.
I've heard that Phil Jones has his combos cast in one piece with reclaimed-amp-and-cabinet-goo in a nearby foundry.The size of the PJB BG-400 makes it appear a lightweight carry when it's actually 40 pounds
“Forged in the fires of Mount Boom!”
The only way you can destroy it is to cast it into the fires it was forged from...

The BG-400 is a C4 and and amp. Since the C4 weighs in at 30 pounds, that's 10 pounds of amp
Ain't no Elf in there!
Yea, this is my first recording setup. Still learning, local shop had this in stock at a discount so I grabbed it up. I've been researching a lot on different mics and honestly it gets exhausting trying to determine which to get next! I'll certainly look into that sennheiser.

What I see from reading TB is players who grew up reading treble clef seldom bother with bass clef charts. Either they learned to read both from playing piano, or (just as often) forgot how to read bass clef and never bothered to re-learn. Then we have folks like me who forgot how to read treble clef and never bothered to re-learn
And just snagged this off Craigslist for $250. pretty solid score

Thanks! And now I'm intrigued - I gotta check out Firefly!
Treble is just engrained in my mind - learned it real well BEFORE the days of sex, drugs and rock and roll!What I see from reading TB is players who grew up reading treble clef seldom bother with bass clef charts.

I play bass by ear - let me hear it a few times and I can just about nail it!
Sorry, I'll try to keep it down over here...RR, with comments like "I feel mediocre", you could get yourself flagged for being overly "braggadocious"....
