Oklahoma. (Not Arizona. (What does it matter? (What does it matter?)))

You need to go to Tulsa. Just sayin’.

 

[MCF]

Just do it, man. Even some of the worst people give you more and more experience and confidence and flexibility. It's not about waiting for the right one. I've played with so many terrible people to get to this point.

Counting the days my friend. Counting the days. Work sucks. The good news is that with the market the way it has been, we’re back up to where we were before having to take out some cash to put the down payment on the mountain house.

Ah, general population, how you never let me down. Only 5-6 threads currently cooking about how you need a P bass

Maybe I should start a thread, just to index the P bass threads. I shall call it “P basses sound like wet dog farts”

I love my Pbass. Yet there it hangs. Forlorn and forgotten. I really don’t need it. But it’s Lake Placid Blue and does sound good with Chromes.

Maybe I need it. It’s the right color and all!

Not even one evening a week?

I need to come up with my SVT and get a lesson how to do that. I’ll bring beer. Or better, Dave can come with his home brew. And we can make thunderous noise.

Y’all need to rent a bus for the Cali gang to get to the GTG, and just bring all your bad selves and all your gear.

Purple Tortex. I started drilling holes in my orange Tortex picks back when I played guitar. That carried over to bass.

This type?

Wait about 4 weeks. I start the yeast tomorrow for the next batch. Going with Anchor Porter. Also need to drop off the B15N, Marshall broke it

This in .88mm is all I have used since 1984. I am a pick player.

This type?

My 1.14s are rounded on two corners, and those are the ones I use. If I need the pointy I use the fender mediums and let the strings holler a bit

Not at this point. You’re a lot younger than me. Heck, just going to see Nikki last Thursday night was tough. But very fun. I hit the “office” at 6:00 and sign off at 5:00 - 5:30. With the stress of what I do, it’s tough. Growing old is getting old.

Ha! It’s a humble ‘13 MIM. But I’ve got it dialed in the way I like it. I pretty much only play it for the Booker T and Creedence songs that I like.

All the more reason to play more bass!

You found a recipe? Cool!

^^good advice here. Weird people, flakes, guys that smoke 2 joints before anything, guys that insist you never, ever play with a pick, singers that leave for a smoke during the guitar solo, guys that remix your song so you don't recognize it...

I had a 13 with a maple neck. Unfortunately I am a stupid bass flipper


I'm stupid and a flipper Not the basses. Well a few...

I only buy with the intention of keeping them. That’s why I have so many Thunderbirds. The couple other basses I would not miss aren’t worth much anyway. They’ll go to kids who want to start playing.
