So, here is how it looks.

Should I file down the top of it so that only 1/2 the string sits in there? It seems like i should....

I would bring it down to at least below the top of the strings.

I suspect that the changes are not about sound quality, but primarily about tuning and perhaps to a lesser degree feel.

I'd say it all counts. I'd care about sound quality.

Safe for work (maybe the only part of the movie that actually is)

Another Classic!

My YBA200 is 19kg, which makes it a featherweight compared to others of a similar power rating.

I was just thinking of what they might do in terms of making the bass indestructible. At least while keeping it affordable. $10K? Probably much lighter.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Even looks similar to Richard Kruspe's mic!


My Mesa Strategy weighs 22kg (49lbs)... 465 Watts of tube power. The benefits of metal go beyond just the music!

Toroidal trannies?

 

[ModuMan]

Finally caved and ordered the Epiphone case for the VP. I would have gladly paid the $129 for it to be included with the bass at the time.

Cool, yours looks nicer.

I was guessing some kind of Aria, a Cardinal perhaps.

The Traynor knock-off?

Thunderbird and Traynor YBA 300!

And rockin' the TB+! Is that Traynor a guitar amp, though? I see an SVT to the left.

Traynor YBA300 - Bass head with 6 pairs x 6L6 = 300W.

A disappearing mic stand?

Sorry. A YBA-200. Never figured out how to separate quotes.

Walnut Wednesday? There's some walnut in this.
