The Random Thought Megathread

[FingerDub]

Guys, I have a parts bass to assemble. I'm not super confident in my ability to do everything. A local TB member said he is willing to help, sans mounting the bridge which I gave a Luthier $30 to do. I mean everything is from scratch. The luthier gave me a good price to finish the whole bass of $150. Should I stick to a pro? Or take the free help and maybe make a friend? I'm worried about not having all the tools and potential screwups. The TB member said he could do it. I put a lot of time into finding the parts at the best prices ($500) minus assembly, and planning it and coming up with what I wanted.

I took mine to a pro. I did as much as I was comfortable doing and let him do the rest. I also had as supertune done, it came in at about your price.

Supertune was done as well as a fret leveling/dressing ends/polishing, setup, pup adjust. I had forgotten to ground the vol pot, I had him install the tuners, which means he installed the strings too. The whole thing was less than $175.
Here is a list of what is included in a supertune:
-adjust the truss rod in the neck
-adjust the bridge for height and intonation
-tail piece or tremolo adjustment
-height adjust the nut for first position action
-tighten and clean all electronics, tuning gears, pickups
-clean and polish instrument

I don't understand the jeans that young people are wearing these days. They're loose around the hips and ass but not baggy. They look like they don't fit and then they're skin tight around the thighs and calves. Millenials' jeans are stupid.

That's how Levis brand have always fit me, along with the waist. I have to wear Wranglers.

Same here.

Levi's have never fit me right; they always hang too low on my waist. I wear Wranglers (and Rustler, a division of Wrangler - really good jeans and dirt cheap at Walmart), Arizona jeans, and random brands from places like Kohls, Ross, Marshalls, etc.
