That's not fair. We should all get participation leg lamps, otherwise our self-esteem will be shattered as the unfairness of it all gnaws at us. Do you have any ankle nightstand lamps left?

They'll sound great, easy to install too.
My Stingray should be racing green but it turns into blue. I blame the inverness green NR which spreads it chameleonism everywhere. The red Telebird is actually yellow (OK, it's not).
Must be Tony Levin's influence but I really like what the compressor brings to the Stingray's sound. I usually only use the compressor as an effect, not an "always on" helper but with a Stingray I'd rather have it on all the time. Here's some noodle with a pretty heavy compression (DOD Milk Box) and phaser.

Been thinking if I should invest into one of those compressors with a blend control. Broughton or Cali76 or whatever those expensive ones are. On the other hand, I don't mind if they color the sound (Milk Box does, as well as my Orange Squeeze clone) as long as the low end doesn't disappear (looking at you Dynacomp...).

Thanks. I realized that those are my only solid color basses apart from three black ones (Ric, Waterstone and Dano Longhorn). All the others are more or less natural with one burst (the VP).
Another reason to get a new bass next year then, right? More solid colors! A racing green Fenderbird! An inverness green Sabre!
Beautiful color, and really nice tone. Is it really heavy?
Thanks. Actually, it's a bit weighty indeed. Slab ash body. What made you think it's heavy?
Just because I've always heard about the EBMM basses being really heavy.
I haven't really tried a real Music Man Stingray often, maybe twice IIRC. Two of my friends have Sabres and one used to have one but I don't recall them being heavy.
One friend just got a superb 5-string Stingray, that's pretty heavy.
Mines a custom job you see.
What's the bass on the right?

That's a bummer! He's a talented fellow, I am glad I got to see you and your whole band when I did.
I was reminded today how good a Thunderbird sounds through a massive tube amp and 810 fridge. The doom/jam project is back in business and songs are coming together.
I was going to sell Tubezilla, but upon leaving rehearsal I pulled over and nixed the ads.
What a combination...
