You know that you could use it as a wah-pedal, too, right?

I did not know that! Thanks!!! This is why I frequent this forum.

Got me one of those Levy wall mounts from Sweetwater. I like it.

Empty spot, time to shop

Empty spot, time to shop

A Danelectro Longhorn and a Sire D5 are on order as we speak! My Gibson has bright rounds and sounds super hot. Ya'll know what the Viola sounds like. I swapped out the tuning machines and put LaBella flats on it.

So I'm getting the D5 because I need that low P-bass thump and I love Sire guitars. And I'm getting the Longhorn because I fell in love with the Viola's short scale and I wanted a short scale with rounds. Plus that bass is just freaking cool!

Just got this back from the shop. Replaced the TV Jones SuperTron with a Novak DS/BS and moved it a little towards the neck. Right in the middle of a conventional split P pickup. Wow what an improvement!View attachment 5361183

That just broke my covet meter. Needle bent all the way around the stop with a puff of burnt electronic go-bot fart smell. So cool.

I’ve never post my arsenal of basses here because for most of my bass playing career I’ve only had one bass guitar.

Now, I’m up to three… I think they’re perfect.

Love that NRT4! I stared at that FS thread so many times.

I did too… I’m glad I pulled the trigger. I’m playing it regularly in my pay-space rock band.

I think you have too many Yamahas. You should send me one and try another brand. I want to help you branch out. Lol.

I am openly a japanophile, my home stereo is a Yamaha, my car is a Honda, I like the way they design stuff.
And I tried other brands, I had a Cort at some point...

Yamaha makes awesome guitars, that's for sure!

How does that Yammy PJ differ sound-wise from a 7ender-esque PJ sound-wise?
