Fixed it for you.
But your chances of getting it might result in some kind of physical altercation.

I'm a good boy. Wouldn't wanna mix it up here with anyone.

 

[GonePlaid]

Do any of you guys have youtube channels and post videos of you playing the birds?

Well, since you asked, this was shot a coupla years ago on my brother-in-law's phone. Only known video of me and my 'Bird.

Definitely don’t want to tangle with Marshall the Enforcer!

Which venue this? Miami?

How about a hug, Roger

It's cool. I'm good with these.

What’s a boat anchor doing blocking the view of that sleek yacht?

It's not an anchor at all in any way.

Yes ma'am!

No, Port St. Lucie, FL, American Legion. Prolly 2019. I think...Maybe.

I'm not around here much, but honestly it's heck to keep up! And I'm busy a lot...

Not acceptable!

It's clearly challenging. Miss one afternoon and somehow you're two days behind. Some kind of Quantum Mechanics or something.

Whatever does the job.

We played the Queens Night Market tonight. By far the biggest crowd I've ever played to. Granted not everyone was there to see us or even paying attention to us, but I'll take it.

Nice!

 

[dagrev]

Hold on. You tune?

Only if things start sounding like I turned on the Phaser when I didn't.

And, it doesn't seem to help my playing much, so why bother?

 

[dagrev]

OK, this is nuts. When I got the 67, it was in tune so I made some little marks on the tuners(and the bridge). That way, when I put on new strings, and after I take up the 'slack', I just line up those marks and it's perfectly in tune/intonated.

Now to post the easy way after I've been doing it the complicated way with the tuner all these years. Better late than never. Any other helpful bass tips you're holding back?

 

[dagrev]

If you can score a Peavey MK-III head, in any state of repair, get it. They're still fixable, and sound monster. And pretty damn loud...

My old gigging head (not that exact one). Why did I sell it again....

It's what we do. I'll go tit for tat over remorseful dealings anytime.

Me too also.
