I have not made the pilgrimage. It is a failing.

Is that step 1 - admitting that you have a problem?

I like the Chromes on my JB shaped object. They are old, but I can still dig in and get some burpy, nasally goodness up high on the board.

They sound great on my MIM P.

For a repaired headstock that seems pretty high. Scarcity works in the seller's favor but I would have to be completely enamored with it and flush with extra cash to pay that much for it.

So! Got the Comfort Strapp X-Long and it works great for my shorty bird hang/placement. Still want to do something with the neck heel strap button but it's NBD.

Question: Anybody make black tapewound strings for short scale?

Cheers!

Yes, D'Addario-and others. BUT, measure carefully. I got a set of D'A. SS Tapes for my Ibby and the silks on E and G overhung the nut. Hadda go with medium scale-they work fine.

I can’t ever see spending anywhere close to that for a bass.

Well, it was a hard paddle today. Wind at 28km/h that is about 17mph. The gusts were brutal - kept paddling, but not moving forward. Waves were not as bad as they could have been. Buoy measures have them at 2ft with a period of 4s. Which isn't as bad as it seems; that is 2ft peak to peak, so really about 8.5" rms .

So sine waves...

So sine waves...

Of course! But, the op amp responsible for the amplitude of the waves has a terrible slew rate.

I have no idea what that should go for, but if I had that kind of spare cash, that bird would be tempting- even though it’s that weird reverse shape. 8^P
I’d probably offer less but dang.

The painful truth! Let down the queen and she exacts her revenge. I'm thinking good single malt is a more fitting penance.

It is a NR. If you were flush with cash, I would not be competing with you for it. If it was a reverse and we were both flush. Then maybe.

To all of you in SC: be as safe as possible and may the ground stay put for a while.

Do you mean SoCal? Or is South Carolina having quakes, too?

So Cal. My son is in LA and does not seem to have noticed much. There may be a reason. I expect to meet her fairly soon. Plus he has been busy playing and is used to seismic activity in the venues while he plays. I sure hope stage volume is more reasonable than audience volume or that he has ear plugs.
