VCR? I actually have one hooked up to the system. For old music VCR tapes. Mostly Neil, Yes, and the Boss. And no Ken, it’s not flashing.

But yeah, I’m ancient. Same age as Jeff.

I have one hooked up as well! Mostly for the same reasons. Not the same artists, though.

You are younger. I have DVD’s of “younger” artists too.

Most of my tapes are '70s punk stuff. And some auto racing.

Thanks Dave! I'm very proud of what we have accomplished.

My wife’s digging it. Just like Bond Girl, she got hooked by the first song.

Makes me very happy to hear this Dave! (your wife has good taste! ) My intent for TSC has always been to choose and play music that people like/enjoy. I like edgy, difficult music personally - but I also love interpreting these beautiful classical pop songs and also developing Pauls unique originals.

Nick is a lucky guy.

Nick and us both! Kirstin joining our band was a gift we all are thankful for. Our last (young) drummer Zach joined because of Kirstin! He just passed his bar exams and has joined a law firm. We miss him but he's a good force in the world!

To me that chunk missing is not a "cool looking chip". It would make a cool project, but should be priced accordingly.

Yes, it's a bit nasty. But Ken is sharp. I'm sure he can get them to sell it for much less. Like a whole digit less and then some.

Now is not the time for a project like this, especially with something as way overpriced as this.

Here's the Super Bassman video I was talking about.

One of the 1st... enjoy!

Came in the mail while I was out of town. Played it last night, sounds fantastic! Hats off to the entire band.

You've used/tried it? - I have been tempted, but haven't acquired one. How would you describe how it's awesome?

One of the bass players at my last church just left his on stage for all the bassists to use. It had the feel and punch of a well adjusted tube amp. I didn’t know it was based on, just that I loved it. Later I found out it was based on an Ampeg B15 and it made sense. I haven’t A/B’d them; I just know they both make me happy.

BOSS Compression/Sustainer ... it's like putting a humidifier in the room with a de-humidifier and letting them fight it out. (Steven Wright) I set the level full up and the sustain full off - attack at 12:00. It's always on.

Why not just use a compressor then? Just curious. I’ve never felt the need for a sustain pedal on my birds. I did have one guitar that sorely tempted me to get one.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Seems odd to me. I’d’ve thunk that a brass nut would be a selling point at the Epi price point. Why wouldn’t they leave it unpainted and show it off?

Esthetics.

I tried other compressors w/o success - new expensive ones too. This one just works for me and was bought used -

Yah, that makes sense.

Has the Earth stopped dead in the sky................'cause only Leo got it right

Someone is trying to get kicked out of TB.

I could use an anti-sustain pedal. But that’s what foam rubber is for.

Just because I’m maxed out on Bass acquisitions for the immediate future does not mean I stop looking.
This one is on FB marketplace just one state away in NC. It looks like a legit 76 bicentennial..although maybe stored in a crawl space for years.
The guy is asking for offers so who knows.
