Bass Burners!

Got a set of those recently to try. I haven't put 'em on anything to see what they do yet.

 

[Gaolee]

Well, here's my work bench. How's about I have a go at that Modulus.

You need one of these, too. No serious luthier should be without one.

Good way to rough out the shape.
Might need a wood blade though.

That's what this is for:

It gets bonus points because it's also the best cutting tool for metal.

Perfect!

Turns out there’s folks that have very different ideas about stuff that rocks

Yes I think it's funny 26% "Other" and another 40% who don't know you can do "P Bass +" with a TBird.

What? You do the work, then someone has to repair it?

You had to go and give it away now???, there go the profits.

I'm torn... I don't know if I would go with a professional golf style commentary, or more of like an MST3K sort of approach...

What about a Dexter style inner monologue?

Or a gritty, black and white, film noir private eye monologue...

 

[Shannon]

That could work. But I was thinking of finding a way to calm the masses that would violently disagree with any stringing method unfamiliar to them. You know, kind of a soft spoken Bob Ross laid back "you can string your bass in you're own little world" type of commentary. You could talk about being gentile with the happy little G string and and making bold windings with the E string.

This could be taken SO out of context...

So anyway, this is a couple of kilometres from where I live.

Definitely thinking about it. Are those nitro or poly?

I was keen on those when I was looking recently, but didn’t get to try one.

Here?

I've developed an ear for certain breeds of Jazz, and am interested in incorporating elements of it as I grow and develop my own style. This I vow... one day, I will perform a musical piece that can only be identified as "Jazz", on a Thunderbird! Not some avant guard whacked out ceremony of noises... but an honest to goodness Jazz song, the likes of which typically conjure up images of Jazz basses in peoples minds. When I do... I pray there is even just ONE of the GP type in attendance, who feel that the Thunderbird is a muddy neck-diving one-trick-pony!

This would be awesome.

Here?

I know right?

So here's the color thing - the 1991 with Cobalt Flats and Chinabuckers comes across with a lot of black, and purple/blue/electric blue. The 2001 with Black Beauties and stock pickups has a lot of black, too, but it colors toward maroon and purple.

You and @theFixer both have colourful descriptions. But differently so.

 

[JJR58]

Here's a bit of color. My usual random Friday night. Or any other night for that matter.

 

[JJR58]

While i dream away...

 

[JJR58]

Ok world. Why i'm still up beats me.

Eh? I was agreeing with you, with a bonus joke about masturbation thrown in.

Saaaayyyyyy... that IS a bonus

Dang, that was a fun gig. Texas has been good to us so far
