NE as in northeast?

I always detune a bit and put something like bubble wrap between the board and strings, I also don’t tightly pack but put some headstock protection around “sensitive” headstocks.



Pbase pickups can be ok. I like the MIM 7enders and the Duncan quarter pounders. I have hear good things about the geezer emg’s but have not tried one.

if you want a totally awesome pbase experience, try the original single coil phase pickups. They are stoopid simple and even the $30 eBay Chinese pickups sound as good as the $100 Duncan, don’t get them wound too hot, 7-8k is fine.

The Greco I ought from you arrived detuned almost perfectly to C standard.

I hate the process of recording, but my geetar teacher turned on the recording stuffs at our lesson yesterday. Me on treble geetar.

Never tried to upload audio files so see if it works….

I get "Error"...

2023: I started playing bass again for the for the first time in five years. I started playing music live again for the first time in a decade. I bought my second ever Thunderbird and made it my primary bass.

2024: I just want to play bass live and feel joy .

2023: I got two (TWO!) Grecos (one is RED and is now my primary bass) and now have two amps chained together as well.

2024: I just want to play bass live and feel joy.

Happy Birthday @JIO

Happy birthday, @JIO !!!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

UPDATE: it's for all purposes 0030 EST as I type-and correct this-and no BIG [STUFF]. . My cat is not freaked, which is good, and I'm ~1/2 bombed and going to bed.
"A Happy New Year to all and to all a good night".
Wait.
That's the other poem.

We haven't had pets for a while. Probably good last night, because it was cray. People around here spend serious money on big stuff.

Just caught a bit of "New Years in Nashville" on CBS. Lynyrd Skynyrd" doing (of course) "Free Bird". IDK who's playing bass, but he's using a 2021 NR TBird in either PB or IG. Hard to tell on broadcast TV.

Ah. The Skynyrd cover band. How were they?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Pretty sure I’m going to Donnie.

This makes my heart happy!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

someone looks pretty stoked….

I've been to Cleveland! (years ago) I have a good friend who is from North Olmsted.

 

[JIO]

Not again

What did I do?

 

[Stealth57]

Called Donnie (spelled correctly this time), Dave.

 

[JIO]

Happy birthday, @JIO !!!

Thanks Miles! HNY to you and yours!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Thanks Miles! HNY to you and yours!

Thanks. And to you and yours - and all y'all & y'alls!

Called Donnie (spelled correctly this time), Dave.

It's his on-line 'identity' - @dagrev... is there an "onnie" that I overlooked?... (sorry Donnie- if someday we meet that will solidify our internet connection)

I totally agree Miles! When I can strap on my “bass of the day” all of my troubles melt away.
I still have a few buddies that enjoy free styling and jamming and even recording a little structured musical compositions.
Happy New Year and Keep on Rockin’ in the free World!

1400 pounds is like, what? $1000?

As others have noted it’s almost $1800. Which here in the states isn’t a hard deal to beat on a new non B stock NR. Over seas that might be a good deal, no idea what they go for there, but here, I’ve seen much better.
