The brown truck brought something fun today. It popped up on GC's site the other day and I couldn't pass it up. It was a total of $342 shipped with the fitted Epi case. I had a $50 gift card so I actually paid $292 for it. It is need of a proper cleaning and the strings are beyond dead but those things are easily remedied. Has a few scratches on the back but still in great overall condition. Well worth the price of admission.

A steal with or without the case! Great buy!

The RW literally blew my mind. I was so frustrated with Jazz basses and had spent a small fortune on them and replacement pickups. I stopped at the House of Guitars on my way to rehearsal and bought the RW on a whim and to my surprise I plugged in in and there was the sound I was looking for. I was going to upgrade the pickups but there is no need.

That's how I felt about the Precision. I haven't been a Fender guy ever, but that one followed me home and will never leave. Guess I'll have to try a RW Jazz one of these days to see if I become a convert. That weird looking pink they paint those is pretty amusing.

I feel ya.
Same here, getting antsy revisiting the band's setlist and making small improvements/corrections in my basslines.
Hopefully you find that special singer soon and get a sense of forward movement.

We aren't even rehearsing together again yet. Maybe in another month or so. I wouldn't want to subject the world to any of my bands in their currently unrehearsed state.

Same here.

A 12 yo nephew took drum lessons this winter and is now working on his 1st real song, Coldplay's Yellow. We're planning to try it out this weekend with his guitarist/vocalist dad. That's pretty much the extent of my band playing these days. For a nice cause tho.

You know, I've actually had four (4!) NR's over the years, regrettably none of them are still within my house presently, I do plan to get a 2021 in Inverness Green and perhaps one day recover the Pink 8 String........ See, I'm not cool :(
