Check out his post about using new strings before a job at The Villages. It's EPIC! No, really, it got pretty nuts.

I saw Jimmy’s string thread...comedy gold

Got a link?

You think the audience doesn't notice? Think again!

??

Totally Epic that one.

Two pages and already I'm losing the will to live.

I'm calling BS! No way did he have 20 or so people come up to him on break to discuss his tone. Absolute nonsense, nice guy or not... that has to be a bit of a stretch.

What did he have, a receiving line?

They all cued up to speak with him?

...or maybe they all stood around in a half-circle and shouted out their praise?

My favorite post in the thread:

"Half the audience never change the batteries in their Beltones and the other half thought you were their grandson."



I made it through three pages... that was enough.

I hate GP... lots of knobs out there.

NAMM photos are pouring in on TalkBass. I’ve been to NAMM as an endorser maybe 8-10 times...loved it the first time when I was a kid. Been downhill ever since. Pretty much eleventy billion variations on a J bass, but with some ‘exotic’ wizard wood. I just don’t get it. Couple cool things in a crowded, noisy sea of goofiness

Before I offer this elsewhere. Tobacco Sunburst Classic Pro with Chinabuckers, Badbird II bridge, and vintage repro tug bar. The bass is super clean, never left the house, grain is spectacular in person. $400 Shipped in the lower 48.

Sharp looking bass!

Keep your good ol' pike next to your trusty theremin.

I hadn't thought of that. It's a outstanding idea, and I'll put it in place right away. There's a reason there's two of us. Somebody has to fill in the blanks.

 

[Gaolee]

Just read that whole thing...my gosh

I think maybe I'll skip it.

Ultralight clovers and ashtrays and that would be pretty close to a perfect 'Bird. It's beautiful. Thanks for distracting us from the rabbit hole we were going down.

I'm ready to remove this gigantic bridge from my '18 Gibson. Thought I'd let you guys/gals know. Not sure what I'd want for it but I DO know I need a excellent condition black 3 pt for the Gibson. A couple other things I'm needing; a black hipshot A style (maybe B), Schaller roller bridge and DiMarzio model PJ pickups. This is definitely an awesome (and rediculous expensive) bridge but I just don't like how it looks. So, any interest let me know before I just sell it for alot of $

I have the black 3-point on my '01 that I plan to replace. I'm not sure it's in a perfect shape as you would want, though. It's good, but it has been on there since 2001 and the bass hasn't sat in its case. If if is good enough and we did work a trade, it would have to be my 3-point plus cash for your Babicz.

Or, if you get another 3-point, I would be interested in buying the one you have.

He still does use four 115’s. As much as I’d love to put in a ton of work on a cab virtually no one will buy...

Right now in boutique world, most folks want tiny cabs they can practically fit in a gig bag

And they still expect your cabs to make them sound like Sheehan/McCartney/Geddy/Flea...

Just got back from the post office! I unpacked the bass there because the box looked as if it had been through a war...large holes and plenty of dents, but thanks to generous amounts of bubble wrap, all is well!

Here’s my humble aviary

It’s a really nice bass and very different from my Gibson’s, which I was hoping would be the case. The Thunderbucker Ranch ‘63 is a very nice sounding pickup! Very punchy and clear. Much brighter than my Gibson’s. Like, a lot brighter. Carlo did a perfect setup. The neck is a bit wider than my ‘Birds. It’s closer to all my other basses. That’s neither here nor there as I’m not super fussy about nut width. The neck feels really good and looks nice. Cool dot markers! The matching headstock is a nice touch. I’ll play it more throughout the day and maybe make a video clip, but first impressions are very glowing. Thanks Carlo!

Sheesh, not gonna escape the criticism tonight. See the double Hercules Stand?

Nope, never. Not around here. Bunch of harpies, we are.

That poor box though....

Looks like the Drop kicked the Shipping box. Glad the Packing did it's job. Very Nice!

I saw the box before it was shipped...sure didn’t look like this
