I’m sorry Kara. Been there. Done that. It’s never easy. We’re all here for you.
That’s a beautiful bass, just reeks class. Would love to see a closeup pic of the bridge if you ever get a chance.I know I already posted this pic, but I like the bass so much I am going to post it again for Thunderbird Thursday.

Fanned frets make my head hurt, now there are fanned strings? It's marketing I tell you! No way to get the strings crooked to line up with the crooked frets.![]()



Time and A Word, the second album, is a really good record. Squire was developing his sound. And I always liked Peter Banks guitar playing; I was a big Flash fan too.Yes (sic) to all of the above, except since I was ~13. Local radio late night guys would play some of their stuff well before Fragile came out.
I think you posted some vid a long time ago. You guys rocked! I went looking for it awhile back but, and well, my search skills suck and you’ve posted thousands of times since then. I asked Rosa about it at the Party on Saturday, but forget to bring it up with you.all this talk of YES!!

I’m not amused Donnie.Enough. We already were gifted Neil.....
(Joke for the non-NY fans.)
Some daft Bird going on about it......
So you're spending all that money you jumped with and have been buying basses to launder it. Genius.
I never heard of strings for fanned frets, but it makes some sense. Definitely never heard of that brand.
Seriously, I can’t believe how incredibly easy this thing is to play. My biggest issue with it right now is occasionally I’ll start off on the wrong string because I don’t play 5 strings very often anymore. But these new flats are absolutely fantastic, I think I like them even better than Cobalts, which are/were my favorite flatwound.
I think I’m gonna take your advice and put a set of GHS Precision Flats on the BaCH VP. That should give me a lot of different options across the birds.
Oops. I was hoping you wouldn't see that one. Go a head and post a NY song. I can take it.I’m not amused Donnie.
That looks exactly like my first bass. It was the definition of catastrophic neck dive. It's disappearance from my ownership was completely unlamented.I've seen that bridge someplace....

I was once traded to a new hockey team for a warm six pack. Does that make me semi-professional?Well, it wouldn't sell as well if it was "semi-professional". On the other hand, semi-pro's usually have more money to spend on gear...
