We're not talking about what I thought we were talking about.

I am officially in the Tbird Grandfather Club as of a week ago. Meet my granddaughter Clementine Carolynne. I am already planning a Tbird build for her so she grows up knowing the correct style of bass to play. Might be a couple of years before she is big enough to actually play it.

Thank you!!
Thank you!! Momma and baby are doing well!
You don’t need to spend a fortune to get there. For example, I have a perfectly nice ‘13 MIM that they simply called the Precision Standard. I was going to but never found the need to “upgrade the pickups. run it with a set of now eight year old Chromes. It’s LPB, of course. It sounds close to this:This sounds like my Epi VP. I actually think it makes a nice P-bass-with-flats tone, but a bit too mid-focussed with rounds. I may upgrade it anytime and unleash it by using Roto 66 rounds. Then I need to find a new P bass to put flats on...

I just ran across this, thought I'd share in light of some of the conversations that have gone down here about this company.
I think that may be the venue name.

It’s been discussed in several threads. Andy Fields, the current designer of the bass division, ain’t talking. For obvious reasons. It isn’t clear if Randall was fired, formally retired, or his contract that he entered into at the time of the sale expired and they just couldn’t come to terms. He’s a legend. He grew a garage business into one of the most recognized names in the industry. I’m a huge Mesa fanboy. And will continue to be one. The Subway line is phenomenal. At least IMO. And the predecessor 400’s, M-Pulses, Prodigy, Walkabouts, and Carbines pushed the envelope of bass amplification. He was hands on, on both the guitar and bass sides. Mesa will be fine. And continue the legacy.
