Perfect. Drum three hours? That's at least three hours of bass. Longer on repeat. You can play with yourself!
(Ahem)
Sounds like a good time to learn some Bach on bass

If I do that, then the next step is to actually, finally, learn to play guitar and maybe even sing in a way that doesn't break glass and cause even the rodents to leave the house. If that all happens, the band is fired!

Funny you should mention that. Last summer, I played a show with some guys who had a Kval(?) player. It is a Bulgarian instrument that looks like a recorder but sounds like a flute. Anyway, he wanted to do the Jethro Tull version of Bouree. We had a week to pull it off before the show. It was not the easiest thing I have ever done in my life, but nobody threw anything at us. I consider that a raging success in a week.
I usually play with myself. Well, really you need a computer, just for beats. And I can get vocal.
Wait, are we still talking about playing bass, right?
I want in! I've actually had this 2001 T-Bird for some time now. I love the ebony board. I'm ready to start modding now by adding all nickel hardware and thunderbuckers. I'm in love with the look of the Bicentennials. Does anyone know what large clover style tuners (with the big elephant ears on back) will fit? I'm going for the look of the bicentennial, but I'm not sure if mine has a smaller headstock and that won't work? I know about the hipshots- but for me the bigger the better! Thanks!

Back from the dead with two new birds. VP in white and Spector 4x
Dolores Umbridge took care of at least a half dozen.
Were it out here, I’d have violated the stay at home orders and been all over it yesterday. That seems like a very good deal. Would be perfect for the bassist in a bluesy tinged alt/indie band.
Beautiful Bird! You don't see many of the non Burst birds around. Welcome to the club, our Queen should be by soon to bestow upon you a royal club number.
A fellow Spector (Rex5 Pro) and VP (Ebony) owner here. Both outstanding choices.
I am having a hard time too with my mini. They decided to upgrade the toneprint software and it no longer covers 32 bits computers, Im stucked and their customer service is beyond sht.
It takes some time for the toneprint to work, like 5/10 mins sometimes, but there shouldn't be any problem once is working.
Sometimes nothings better than a straight forward thing.
Thanks. Good to know. My computer is most definitely 64-bit. I waited for TonePrint to get itself started and just watched it sitting there telling me to plug in a pedal. I'll likely just return it. Worth a try.
I've seen that some of the classic pros seem to have a rosewood fretboard instead of a ebony one, I may be wrong tho, but the color of the fretboard looks way more brighter than ebony in some of the birds, at least comparing it to mine.
Has anyone noticed that same thing?
