Have 4 and picking up #5 Sunday and #6 if I ever get to India and back…going to need another rack.

Which reminds me that I need to get polishing. I haven't started yet.

One of my fav bass sounds is on Hatfield And The North's "The Rotters' Club" album. Richard Sinclair played a modified Jazz Bass on it, the bass had one Gibson EB bridge pickup approx. between the original J pickup locations.
I got a cheap hacked J bass body from a friend and had a Triumph P neck. I quickly soldered an OLP J humbucker to that position and the sound is there. It sounds also very much like a Ric bridge pickup (same location).
A hack job if there ever was but a promising start. Will post a soundclip later.

I hear 8 is really good luck in some cultures.

Now you are talking. I think I have 10 at the moment, but who is counting?

Your grand kids would love to have it willed to them..... How can you say no to them?

Easy. Strings would be a mess.

What that a question?

If so, yes. You still have plenty of room before hitting the ceiling.

Fantastic!

Funny think is GC store had a Peavey Mk head as a tube head..... Did they not notice one off/on switch and no tubes light up when on.....

Heartless. You have no soul to deny such a sweet boy the bass of his dreams.

Just buy him flats.

Wow, $600.00 more than I paid for mine, what like 5 months ago.

No rush

Sure liked the Ashdown Mag 300 I took on trade once. Should have kept it around. This one is made in the UK.

Great! "You done alright!"

Meanwhile. A little bit of red VP action.

Right on! Love that red VP!

I like Hipshot. Great company. But they are slow at times depending on where they’re at in production of various parts. I waited so long for tuners I ordered through Best Bass Gear (because I had a 10% or %15 coupon) that I pretty much forgot I had ordered them when they finally arrived. It was well worth the wait though as the MIM Mustang I ordered them for is now a great little bass. The Hipshot quality makes a huge difference.

I have their Ultralight tuners on quite a few basses, mostly to reduce weight, but the quality is noticeably higher than the stock tuners that were on my VP and Casady.

That one is local to me. It’s been there for 6+ months. They need to drop the price.

Good thing!

As I promised...

After the Gentle Giant riff I've absolutely no clue what I'm playing but the sound is the thing here so bare with noodling.

sweet rig Kara.

sweet rig Kara.

Thanks!


The Acoustic in the pic is working now, but the Mark III still needs work. I got distracted by other projects.......

my problem now is I have (technically) six amps, that could collectively power ten speaker cabs, but I only have three of those




I need to start looking for a bigger apartment so I can get more cabs.......
