Point is though, I play bass more like a drummer

Wow, there is a straight line just waiting for responses...

It's aging like fine wine or cheese. Don't open the cupboard or I'll have to start the whole process again.

The eBay listing has 6 watchers, presumably waiting from me to give up and drop the price to $20. I think it's going to end up as a trade in for that EB3L I have my heart set on.

Don't let it go for $20. I'll give you $21. I'll will even begrudgingly pay shipping.

Cracked me up.

CAD21 = AUD20.59

I should have been more specific - real dollars, US dollars. I generally do things in US dollars for professional reasons. So about $27 AUD or CND.

Hmmmmmm, well that's different then...

It doesn't have that full throated thunder we all love.

It would probably benefit from flatwound strings played through a powerful and clean solid state amp. The angled tailpiece means it requires extra long strings which is annoying.

Using my T-bird at Catapult's show in San Jose tonight.

I had about nine years of piano lessons way back when. And don't play piano at all any more. Bass and guitar are completely self taught so far, but I'm more than happy to admit that I would be a whole lot better at it with some help. I started playing drums about three years ago, and started lessons right away. I figured the path to semi-competence as a person in his mid-50s was too slow by just being self-taught. Now, my brother says I'm really a drummer. Relatives sure know how to hurt a person by pointing out the obvious, don't they!

I had a really good day playing guitar once and told my mom, "I think I'm getting a little better."

Her, "Well yeah, you couldn't get any worse."

I'm pretty sure she was just kidding. She had a great sense of humor.

Beautiful grain. Oiling the fretboard and polishing the body.

Sounds like a bass I'd do small-band/funk gigs with. $27 eh?

It does sound pretty good copping the Bowie 'plastic soul' era George Murray basslines. Since I decided to keep the case, it's pickup only mate.

It's very Italian looking.

Lol. Gratuitous hatchet swing:

That's the vibe they're going for - 'Italia' - although they are 100% Korean (designed by Trevor Wilkinson).

And right on cue, him indoors says 'how come I don't see you playing that white one any more -- it's just shoved in the cupboard is it?'

Grrrrrr..... Hate when your significant other does that...

Yeah, and see how much good it did for you with all those lessons - Totally killed playing the piano for you...

 

[hillerup]

...Oiling the fretboard and polishing the body....

I might use that one in the future - Sound much more innocent...

"Oh, I was just oiling the fretboard and polishing the body, Dear..."

Move on. Nothing to see here.

'I'm not playing it because it's for sale.'

'Well if you don't want it, why did you buy it in the first place?'

Answering that question would require an admission that I'm not actually perfect, and that AIN'T gonna happen.

 

[Korladis]

Wait, are you supposed to oil the fretboard?
