Well sir, you have a beautiful bass. And you should have kept the joking going, I could have been searching for the difference for weeks.

You will get used to the humor in here. Maybe.

So, who is going to tell him to figure out #62?

 

[Gaolee]

We're all here to (enable) help with matters like this!

Yes, it's what we do best. It seems to work pretty well.

More important, who is going to describe the initiation ritual. I think @JJR58 's voice has come back down to normal since, but he still gets nervous around staple guns.

First video uploaded from the ‘One Mic Series’ at Sun Sridios in Memphis. This one is a simple rockabilly tune with upright bass. As soon as they upload the song I used my ‘Bird on I’d be happy to share.

I'm in awe of anybody who plays at Sun Studios. Don't burst my bubble if it's not as awesome as I think it is. Thanks.

Been inhaling helium?

Let me guess - mid 80's? The diamond shaped pu reminds me of the made-in-Japan for only one year Fender Performer (mid year '85-mid year '86)... but it never came in purple. It did come in Alien Green (my name for it!) I owned this one for a while - it's a pretty cool 24 fret, narrow fb bass.

Same year Fender/Squier produced the 32" scale Katana - just because everyone wanted pointy basses then...

I wanted pointy basses then, I want pointy basses now. I think I'll always want pointy basses.

Totally the wrong approach, it should be celebrated as the greatest 7ender design ever, never again would those 7ender fans ever mutter the word "neckdive". Mind you, perhaps they should have called it the "Lemming" or the "Kamikaze" maybe even the the "rotator"?

foF's (fans of Fenders) can be just as biased as.., other guitar companies fans when it comes to ignoring obvious design flaws (in favor of style) in certain models. Those more objective know a bad design when they see one regardless of allegiance. just sayin'

No one is.

Come on, @Chucky Stiletti , you've done hard time in Miami. Nothing bothers you man...

Don't forget the other rules from Honda...
HOW TO RIDE MOTORCYCLES
1962 Safety Rules from Honda

Taken from a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Instruction Book. Translated by Honda for the American Motorcycle Rider

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootle the horn trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootle him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go smoothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon. Press the brake foot as you roll around the corner, and save the collapse and tie up.

Exploding the exhaust box usually is followed quickly by a terrible smell.

When it comes to the club initiation, there is one simple thing to keep in mind. There is no exemption, only redemption.

I think all Tarantino films are not for the squeamish

On the other hand, he follows exactly the same formula for every movie, so seeing one, if you really have to, is the same as seeing all of them.
