Ya know, every time I see one of those Dano’s with that particular pickguard, all I can think about is freshman biology sex ed class.

Why?

If nothing else, the IVs just look balanced to me. But that BaCH was stunning just as it was.

Easy fix. Own a a IV, use it as a II.

I like saving money, but it is what it is on strings. I have TI flats on a P and a J and TI Power Bass rounds on a different PJ. If I was that worried about saving money I'd stop logging in to TB.

Word!

There's also a 50-105 set I tried, but I wasn't thrilled with it(E standard).

I think that's what I have on my VP. I brought it to a Legion jam last Saturday night and my index finger was a bit sore the next day. But that was 4 hours of playing - with no break...

I'm familiar w/4 hr jams... but with no breaks??? I recommend at least one break.

I'm really liking them so far, but I tend to like flats in general so I'm slightly tempted....

I hear rumor that cobalt rounds eat frets faster than Willy.

This is the same colour as the one MCF showed us, Pelham Blue - it's pretty much the same bass!

Ah. It looks more green in the picture.

Sorry got that wrong, should have checked the link you quoted! That is my take on Candy Apple Green:
I have a tame paint sprayer who's great at mixing colours to my description, as well as matching unusual existing colours. I had what I thought was a Dupont/Fender Candy Apple Green custom paint job on a bass (who knows?) but I wanted more sparkle and a bit more tangy so my paint guy used gold flake instead of silver. I like it too!

Got it. It looks great. I can't see the gold flake in the photo so much, but that's probably one of the reasons it looks so good. It's a beautiful color.

Just found this pic from a looooong time ago with my old Danelectro. That was a really fun bass.

The drummer's kit looks like an old stencil kit, probably a Pearl knockoff from the '70s, made in Taiwan. Those sound amazing if you can find one in good shape.

Sure...

The inside pet.

(The pad if for the tumor that is leaking. We were ready to do the thing Monday if we could get in, but talked with the Vet and she said we needed to give it a couple weeks to see if it heal. I'm not optimistic. One day it seems a little better then the next more drainage. But he is in no discomfort as far as we can tell. That won't won't allow to happen.)

Danny-lectro Sunday!

interesting technique...

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Chuck, is this your first experience with EBCFs on a VP?
They truly are an amazing string on an amazing bass. All the top end one could ever ask for out of a flat, yet still creamy smooth on the bottom. If I were a gigging artist looking to get into a super flexible incredibly sweet sounding stage set up at the lowest possible cost (basically biggest bang for the buck) I’d be hard pressed to find a better fit than a used VP for $500 with some EBCFs and a used $500 GK MB212 combo. That set up would would punch way above its weight class.

thanks George

Just a few samples for FF

I tried it. Actually helped my playing. Just need a longer strap.
