What's that white T-II in the background? Is that one of those '86s?
I spent a lot of time with the new rig last night and does it ever sound great. Even with the buzzy driver that will soon be going back. Tracking says replacement cab to be delivered by 8:00 PM. Fingers crossed. I should have everything set up to spend a nice weekend in the shed.
Did someone say an occasional P bass is welcome? I guess it's Fender Friday then, here's my 1968 treasure...
Fender Friday (with birds) has been doable at my house since 1981! These all moved on long ago but the ones on the ends have been replaced. If I ever fins another Eagle I can afford, I'll complete this trifecta again.
Turns out I did post before. I'm in the club.
There's one available here in classifieds. For Sale/Trade - Savannah "Lightning" Mini Bass (Like Kala U-Bass) - model STB-700

That was my opening bid. I would go higher.
I can almost hear the covers:
I wanna rock and roll 'til nine,
And party during the day.
Is that a jumpsuit with a bass built into it?
How does his tech feel about changing strings and getting his "relief" just right??
You are short half a bass...
Or you have half a bass too much.

Ah, but most importantly, what happened to the Sunn cab!
Recently sold the other half, waiting on payment for this half! Neck was too chunky for my liking, even the Telecaster's neck is honestly too fat, but I put up with it since it's vintage. If Fender were to do a proper Tele bass reissue like the older AVRIs, I'd promptly purchase one and have the neck shaved down to more closely match the AVRI '62 Precision neck, which I still stand by as just about the most comfortable neck on any bass I've ever played.
I don't wanna know anything about the action on that bass.
I wonder if his intonation is just a hair off?
Looks like a short scale to me.
LOL - That picture is a target rich environment for a meme generator.
I sold it not long after this and got a mid 60s 212 Bassman cabinet and a late 70s 810 SVT cab. I was inflicted with G.A.S. long before I knew it was a thing.
