That’s about where my strap length is set (roughly the same sitting as standing, maybe a tad lower). This guy kinda sums it up nicely…


I’m not a fan of this at all…

And I don’t really fall into this camp either…

I’m comfortable slinging it low, apparently even if I’m not playing rock.

This showed up at my friend/tech's house today. He tracked it until he found the real seller. He was able to score it for several hundred less than the non-owners were listing it for. He said it arrived with a perfect setup and needed nothing out of the box. He said it is super growly and aggressive. And yes, that is gold hardware, including the pickup.

When he sells basses he always gives me first shot. I am using the power of positive thinking that this one will come my way some day.

Oh, man! what the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!
Help me understand how something can be scanned "Out for delivery" and then not?

It's FedEx. Makes the post office look like UPS. I know, hard to do. The problems I've had with them..... And don't bother calling support which are difficult to understand and many, many time zones away. Then they eagerly ask how they did in helping.....when your issue is still unresolved.:banghead:

Don’t fret, FedEx hasn’t sufficiently damaged your package yet. Sometimes it takes them an extra day or two to get through the double boxing and Bass case. Had you ordered it without the hard case you’d already have it by now. ;)

There is that. Hopefully they won't leave his damaged box in the driveway like half of them do here. What's complicated about "Put it on the porch" not the drive where it could become anyone's package?

I love Billy Sheehan. His videos are always a lot of fun. He loves to geek out.

I used have projects at Casinos. Needed to receive materials on site. Those places have multiple front desks. Purolator drivers are not allowed to call. Stuff could end up anywhere, or not.

OK ok I can't hold back the ask anymore! This is built around a Curtis Novak Tbird pickup wired like a PBass but with a Tbird correct 500k over 250K concentric. The Chickenhead goes like this Just the PU, the PU and a Novak EB choke and a black ice battery free overdrive. I really wanted a Thunderbird II but I can't afford on like that black and gold beauty in post #188066. Can I be part of your club?
