Imo, that's how it should have been referred to from the beginning, it might've been taken more seriously
Some water-news from the Sacramento area.....
Wind and rain was bad enough last night I worked (Wed/Thurs) we weren't allowed to pull doubles or empty trailers, only loaded single trailers
(Not sumpin' ya normally look for on a "new" bass)
Do you tune it a half step sharp or so and leave it overnight after installing new strings?Well.
The gig report on the Epi Embassy will have to wait 'til at least next Sunday(1/15).
I expect the new strings to take awhile to settle/stretch in, but it seemed every day they'd go a little flat and they'd been on over a week. So. Tuning them up-again-this morning, They just wouldn't hold pitch. That's when I saw the claw/tailpiece was pulling outta the body.
Now, this bass was a demo, but with all the warranties, etc., as if it was new(I couldn't see anything 'wrong' with it -initially). Got on the horn with SW right away. They're gonna send me a new one, but it prolly won't get here 'til Monday. Then I'll send back the NFG one(they're sending a return label).
cool, same color/finish?Well.

Too bad I can't keep the pups. Oh, well. LSTYD.
This is the SS Sapona off Bimini in the Bahamas. Concrete ship. I dove it a few years ago. Only about 15' deep, but lots of fun to explore in there.
Usually. I tuned it up to a 'sharp' G, D, A, E, etc. Not a full 1/2 step. I will be checking the claw on the new one. Unfortunately I may have wiped out the EBCFs messing with this one. We'll see.
Good luck. Those strings aren't cheap.
I'll bet. I tried the diving thing years ago. Couldn't equalize the pressure in my ears past ~10 feet(sinus issue). Since it wasn't a priority, I didn't follow up on it.
These sorta were-I had a credit with SBM, so they were $15. Less than 1/2.
It could be more excessive. A colleague lives in a 319 square foot apartment, including the bathroom. She's kinda hyper. I think she should take up drums. Drums in 319 square feet would be pretty much all that goes in there. But, it would be perfect for her.I think I may be excessively exceeding what is necessary for my 300-ish sq.ft. living room.....

Sudafed can help.
Also, the first 10' or so is the biggest pressure change you'll experience.
get a free set from SW….valid request imho..
I heard that.A bit of both, it seems. With a dash of liability aversion thrown in
I might when I talk to my sales guy again. Might stick with the 45-105s. I wouldn't think that .005 on 2 strings woulda made that much difference, but who knows(other than "The Shadow")?
Nah, those are Peavey solid state watts. They compete just fine with tube watts. An ACC 360 stack has a 200 watt power section. Those are some manly watts.
I got a 'nose-squeezer' mask-it helped, but I didn't have enuff interest(or $)to follow up on it.Sudafed can help.
