Well, he is a Floridian. Who knows what he’s got up his sleeve, or skirt.

Well, I finally bought a Broughon High/Low pass filter pedal. They had one with some kind of paint defect for a whopping $8 off. I'm a sucker for a deal. Now that I have been playing the '91 with tapes and don't have fret click, I have a pedal that will tame fret click. Brilliant! I didn't like the way it sounded for some reason last night, so I'll probably play something else for a bit. Too much light green in the sound. How did that get there? Who knows. It wasn't there before. The factory wiring defects seem to be sparking away in the inter-aural cavity for the time being. I'll play a different one with more blue in the sound. Apparently that's what I want to hear for the time being.
I can attest to that. Two Birds and two Precision’s. But I take cromag a step further. Just add in the Chechen alien.

We have to check with Carlo or Gone Plaid about that kind of regional trickery.
They may not let on though.
Or they’ll just humor us. Lead us to believe something else.
If necessary, angle the neck up more, too.
Personally, I think it’s a good piece of kit. I hear ya on the green. The blue is easy to dial in.
What the hell. The gangs all here.
Where did the Rick go?
Off to bass oblivion. Just wasn’t my thing.
I'm built like a fire-hydrant. I have no trouble with the reach on a bird. Just need to find a strap that is at least 60" (whereas standard is 54" or so). Can't play a bird like some funk guy with your bass covering your nipples.
Never let facts interfere with a good story
Couch is the answer, all of theirs are long I’m 6’4” and they fit me well
Nah. Mine is hanging (as seen in the avatar)low on my right hip w/ the lower bout covering my....uh....fly, that's it. I'm short enuff that I don't have a problem finding straps. It'd be even easier if I was less round.
when did you get the second P? Gorgeous bass..
Keeping the tort? Always dug that finish..
A very different feel and therefore approach to picking or plucking... different rhythms and accentuation. It’s like playing a different instrument and I must admit if feels and looks cool as hell. I’ve always been more about function and kept my instruments high.
If you’re bored and feeling stuck try something silly like this. See for fun what it forces you to change or write just to make it work.
Please quote me in responses because this is literally one of the most active threads in this forum and impossible to keep up with, without specific quote alerts. Lol
Maybe I should be reading this more ....based on some of the comments ...pillO said it has to hang low on your hip. Lol
Awesome! How about another question for y’all?
Which strings do you like on a bird? I’m a flats guy, but probably should consider some roundwounds for this setup. I’ll take suggestions for either, though.
I like lights on everything I’ve only ever tried the Ernie ball extra slinky 95 to 40... I think the 40 is too thin and seems out of place but the rest are great. I always hated standard gauges I’d go between the a and the e and it would sound dead and out of proportion just not balanced
