Nice slab of alder. Is it a Fender or a clone?

It's a Hosco body, my friend built the neck and finished the body. Here it is in its original guise back in 2006:

Is that a short scale or are you a tall dude? Or both?

My friend sent me a surplus Will Power he had and I just dropped it in. The bass originally jad an Artec that was hopelessly too narrow, then a custom made P-90 style pickup underneath the EB metal cover (worked well, sounded more like a Ric neck pickup) and then a Dimarzio Model One. It was alright but the E-string was always a bit of a compromise. Not anymore. There's not a huge difference in spacing but the Will Power works perfectly.

A customary sample with both J's first, then WP added and then WP alone. An added bonus of WP with some Smashbox madness.

Dig!!!

Here's my biggest regret. I had to sell this cabinet when I moved from Santa Cruz to Maui. I had purchased it at a music store on the Pacific Garden Mall in Santa Cruz in '82 or '83. Total beast. I'd love another Cerwin Vega B36 cab

You mean me? A long scale bass, I'm 187 cm.

Sometime you gotta put the covers on the cabinets and guitars in cases.

Looks like they’re having a great time! Lego’s - that’s certainly one room you don’t want to walk barefoot in at night.

And I though you were a man of taste and distinction.

Market research. Would you buy a breakfast pita? Egg, potato, and onion. Cheese is an extra.

Oh yeah

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I'm not a lead guitarist or guitarist even, I just use it as a tool and probably play it like a bass player. Still, a burning ambition was to play a solo to a new track I'm working on so I didn't have to explain to anyone what I want in spite of them playing great solos. With some double tracking I came up with this. Not perfect but at least to me it has some of that Max Webster vibe I was after. Sorry Kim Mitchell.

Dude, you’re freaking PLAYING GUITAR. That was awesome.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

RIP Gary Rossington…

Yeah. Super bummed.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Yup, my Peruvian wife has two chihuahuas, Bobby (don't ask ) is really jealous and hates me but it's funny, all she has to do is say my name (I'm Robert to her) and he growls. Mia the female loves me. I have my cat. I'm the enforcer with Bobby, taking off his clothes, bath time etc, so he hates my hands but loves it when I pet him with my feet .

His clothes?!?!?

 

[Stealth57]

Today’s market research. This is a tough job.

 

[PhR75]

Dude, you’re freaking PLAYING GUITAR. That was awesome.

Thanks, man. Helps with the confidence (and saves money too.

Now this sounds already really good! I'm sure the finnished song will be just fabulous!

Thanks. The finished product will appear here I hope in April. Not the 1st.


I cringe at advertising but sometimes you just have to. And many thanks to everybody here, I'm sure you had already said if my stuff wasn't worth releasing.

His clothes?!?!?
