Look down



Yep! It’s such a perfect bass I won’t be sad if it doesn’t sell, but I really just have way too many basses at the moment. Wanting a new synth and the new Mesa WD800. I’m a Mesa endorser, but they ain’t free

Shoes dude!
Nice price for a sweet bass. GLWTS

Love Itzhak. Talk about total mastery of your instrument.

I don't think he hit a single off note the entire night. The piano player missed a couple notes.
Kinda puts you in your place when you realize that you probably make more mistakes in one song than Itzhak does in an entire 2 hour concert. Guess that's why he's a virtuoso.
By comparison, I'm more of a virtual-so-so.

You should trademark that.

I'm kicking myself in the @$$ for buying one 20 years ago, I can't believe how much better it sounds than my GK cabinets. After our NYE show our guitarist said "I heard the bass tonight!"

Gotta agree with the Queen! I love my Goliath II 4x10. Best 4x10 Cab i've ever played through. Very mid punch focused with enough boom & sparkle highs to balance out. I can imagine the 6x10 to sound awesome

Look down

Looking down means you only see your own shoes. Bass AND shoes means looking diagonally.

Whoever buys it will be happy. That's true of most 'Birds going to chosen 'Bird people.

For what its worth, I took the '91 out to play last night. it sure sounds good with tapes. Precision on steroids with the neck pickup and bridge pickup swapped. I didn't do anything to the eq, didn't touch the volume or tone knobs, just played it. The only anomaly is that there was a little bit of an adjustment problem right at the last couple frets on the E string before fretboard ends at the body. That's my setup problem, and the fact that I haven't adjusted it in who knows how long. Tonight is when I'll start taking it apart.

Note to self - freezer bags and a sharpie... Plastic trays that the supermarket uses for meat these days will come in handy. I don't know why the supermarket is using fairly heavy plastic trays, but they make great parts trays. The '91's guts will go into separated freezer bags that will then go into a plastic tray for the duration.

New TB just arrived. Bought on eBay and it’s still in its box with plastic wrapping etc.

I know it’s a bolt neck but it’s my first TB and I love her all the same.

Can I get a club #

Sandwich bags work too.

Nothing wrong with that! My first bird and main player is a bolt-on Epi IV. They let me in. 8^) Welcome.

Yeah, but your bags are in metric.

Fettle?

That was what it was advertised as, have no idea if it is what he said. All I know is it’s a TB and sounds good

Sticking some EB Power Slinkies on as we speak

Great, now the two of them are going to be speaking Scottish at each other and the rest of us will be scratching our heads.

Afraid not. New kidda is deficient in Geordie language skills. We'll have to speak furrens.

Sandwich bags and the little snack bags. As long as they have zip-lock tops or I remember to tape them shut to avoid losing screws and other little parts, they all work.

is it buzzing? or do you actually play that far up the E?

Bolt on or not, it's a 'Bird. I take it you have started playing it - which means it chose you. Congratulations!

Is a metric sandwich different from a US sandwich? Aren't all sandwiches imperial, having been invented by the Earl of Sandwich?
