Aw, gee. Do I have to?
the best part was, he carried it in, set it on the House cab, then tore it down and carried it away after my set

...and just like that, the first sparks flew and off they went to start a beautiful friendship that grew into much more...
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
No so much a disease as a micro-code error.

How was it?

Out in genpop, @wintremute did his annual NAMM thing of providing us with an insane amount of photos on just bass gear. Such a generous thing to do! I have an irrational aversion to coffee table basses, so I’ll just focus on a few things that caught my eye.
Another failed attempt to cop a TBird vibe!
Nordstrand basses that to me are pretty dang cool
Dunable seems to cater mostly to the Stoner/Doom crowd, but I’ve heard them and they sound fantastic. Personally think their aesthetics are on point too
These G&L’s are almost cool. Love the simplicity and shell pink is a beautiful thing.
This would be an example of something I wouldn’t want, but deeply admire the craftsmanship
TV Jones is an old pal, so I’m biased. I also think his pickups are amazing. Kinda like this bass too!
Serek gets nothing but praise from anyone who’s ever met him and his designs are awfully original and cool. The 30” scale ain’t my bag, but I wish interesting folks like him nothing but the best
I think this Iceman bass looks really cool. Sue me
I dunno, I think this bass looks neat
One of the few basses I regret selling. Yes, they weigh a ton, but no other passive bass has such amazing tonal variety and it might be my favorite neck shape of all time. One of the most underrated basses ever, IMO.
Thanks to @wintremute for all his photos! Check out his thread if you want to see more

I happen to think the Mesa 400+ is one of the best bass amps of all time, so I’m very biased. The Ampeg house cab at the club was never going to do it justice, but it sounded terrific. Used my new Fano bass with TBird style pickups. Friends all have positive comments
That half reverse shape makes my eyes itch. Look at that red star- clearly a Russian attempt to destroy the rock and roll world.
I thought Peavey was out of the instrument and amp business. Good to find out I was wrong.

Which one of you holds the beer for the next great YouTube stunt?

Sounds like a good plan to me. Most of us are pretty good at stupid. A herd of stupid is always more fun than a single shot of stupid.

Aversion to coffee table instruments isn't so irrational. I think it's perfectly reasonable and share the aversion. I don't care who Dunable caters to, I like those. And the Iceman.

I like that too!
There's safety in numbers, if only because then people aren't sure who to blame.
"No, really, officer, I can't tell them apart when they're all holding those weirdly shaped guitars, so I have no idea which one knocked over the stand of motor oil, which I *did* warn you about and you insisted on walking into the store, anyway, so I'm not responsible for what happened."
"Hey officer, wanna join our club?"
I also like the amp beside it.
Would you believe I didn't even notice it because I was so interested in the bass?
Sure. I just notice things. Do stupid stuff. See dead people. You know, writer/bassist/half-Martian stuff.
