That particular bass is special.

To paraphrase Top Gun Maverick, “it’s not the bass, it’s the bassist in the box.” So what’s Chuckies call sign?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Nope. It’s a JBass. I’ll pass.

As soon as I get my travel schedule set. I have a 2 week trip to India that is dependent on family getting their visas settled. It took a while, but my daughter just got her passport and visa back today. Now she has to apply for dependent visas for her two sons. We'll see how long it takes the Indian consulate in SF to process those.

Once all that's done, am off. Looking more like the end of the month before I can beg you for a visit to Hollister. I've been stringing poor Will along since October...

If I still have some left, I might be bringing my 805 homebrew clone. As long as Marshall's not around, a sixer should last a couple hours

Life goals.....that will never happen.

I had a Sukop which is like that (contoured body). Sure miss that fretless 5.

I have a Sukop SC5 that I bought used…wanted one for years. It’s probably my easiest playing bass….and I have played a ton of instruments and have some really nice ones.

Tried to watch. won't come up.

On another subject: it's baaaack. Maybe for ~$100+/- less-if I was certain my 67(65?)would fit.

There's a lot of this on the internet. It's how I know I'm in the last verse of the rock n roll song. Or maybe it's the outro... So I'm turning this bastard up and leaving marks.

Those people can have their forgettable chops.

That guy reminds me of Robert Fripp.

May we have a nice weekend

I played the SIT RB Stainless tonight and like them a lot, but not sure if there's much of a difference over the Power Steels, especially to justify the cost difference. The Gorgomyte picked up so much dirt from the fretboard and frets when I changed the strings. I still think it smells more like vanilla than coconut.

Have you tried their exposed cores? (I think they still make them, or is that the RBs?) Requires a setup, but may be of interest to you. Curious about the Fusion wound strings.

Great price for a NR Thunderbird....

Oh, he's not including the bass....

Maybe one day he'll get lucky and someone will bite.

The Fusion Wound are Rock Brights rebranded.
