I like it! Already have 4 green basses

Shouldn't there be 5 so it's not an even number?

Well, sometimes we do get a dusting at close to sea level...

There was talk of possible snow in the Bay Area but we got off & on rain instead. It's been unusually cold so maybe some snow on the top of Mt Tam, Mt Diablo or Mt Hamilton - that has occurred over the years.

There's a green NR in the Mod Shop.

That is nice. With them listing at $2199 now, that’s not a bad price with the Babicz.

In the East Bay it was a lot lower than the 3000-4000 foot level of those mountains. We are at about 500 feet.

This was when the first hit and were big, around Surfer Rosa - her parents are from Ohio (possibly Dayton) and were back stage. Kim looked like she was possessed with her eyes rolling back in her head as she played her repetitive/hypnotic bass-lines. She had a very unique way of phrasing.

It really is too bad she and Black couldn’t get along well enough to keep them together.

Does anybody know the dimensions on these? Asking for a friend

Sorry Thump, my ‘15 is at the mountain house. Which has a few feet of snow coming down around it.

Anyway, I tried to buy those last night. Just missed them.

TSC's will be performing here this Sunday at 8pm - The Hotel Utah in SF, built in '08 after the '06 earthquake/fires. Folklore has it that upstairs was a brothel at one time. Played there a few times with different bands over the years, but not for years. It was closed during Covid and has new management. In the mid '90s they had a music series called The Dark Circle Lounge on Tuesday nights and I went every week. It was where I first saw/heard Nels Cline. It's a cool place to play - very old-school SF. (pic's from Wiki)

When I get back from India, I’m going to put together a list of when everyone local is playing and get out of the house.

New cab day:

An old UK made Ashdown ABM115. Sounded gigantic with the Hiwatt and ABM410 stacked.
I also tested it briefly on it's own with the Lab Series L2, very nice. I must do an A/B with the 4x10 using both L2's. I have a hunch that I might like the 1x15" a bit more. If that's the case I could see myself swapping the 4x10 for another 1x15.

Getting your hands dirty helps focus the mind.

 

[Thumper]

Are there any orthopedists here? What would the appropriate forum be to ask a bass related question about lumbrical and adduct or policis issues?

 

[KaraQ]

Shouldn't there be 5 so it's not an even number?

When it comes to basses? Absolutely!









.....one the reasons I like 5-string basses

 

[KaraQ]

Well..... it's done. Not as pretty as I would have liked, but....


At least, I managed to make room for the battery, I suppose



Before:

Now:

Bass & treble controls are essentially useless, but it sounds good as-is, soooo....... prolly gonna leave it be?









......for now, anyways

And as I promised, here's the sound sample of the Ibanez Smash Box SM7 distortion. Bare with the idiotic riffing and noise, the pedal made me do it! Some autowah included (first up, then down), noise gate at max.

Share it. I’ll try to come up now and then.

I only play a doctor on TV. You might want to talk to a sports doctor. You know what medical advice on the Internet is worth.

You let him work on the car without something protecting the paint on the fender? My Dad would have a fit.

Given it's a one off, and a gorgeous color, it's a good price.
