I still very much pine for and covet your '76.

Its not pine, its korina!

It's mahogany though.

For me it's the instrument equivalent of a '59 Buick Invicta, with those big 'ol wings. I love how balanced Explorers feel.

Explorers are the coolest guitars

They look pretty cool now.

Sounds like quite a strain !

Nice board! Must check out some of her music!!

Quite like the features of the DI/Preamp he's using... https://www.thomann.de/gb/palmer_pocket_amp_bass.htm

Two of my Three Strats are Lace equipped and all of my guitars and basses have flatwound strings. I live on my neck pickups and I know its weird, but I have never been happy playing anything using the bridge pup. I guess I don't fit with trebly tones. Gimme the smooth. Caveat - I don't use effects,...

Ordered a Blender kit and OptoPuss optical bypass kit from Fuzz Dog to make a little wet / dry loop box for my bass board to use with some of my fuzz pedals

Rhett Schull for bassists.

Scott’s early stuff was awesome but now I just find them insufferable.

Do I like anyone anymore

I was thinking while watching it that they make Chappers and The Captain seem calm and relaxing in comparison

Going to try running my bass preamp into the effects return of my little joyo JCM800 style head, with the 8" cab I built, wonder if it will do as a basic practice rig when I can't be bothered firing up my computer to play through that...

Broadening my knowledge of the jazz standards. Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise. Loop pedal utilised for the chords. A few bung notes but getting there. Amps are both forum-made (Ryan-built Tweed, Plexi clone assembled by MikeC with cab by BG). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx3b8jgTZgg :clap: :cla...

Never a huge fan of the SP comp on bass but comp is where I get disgustingly cork sniffery. The blend makes a massive difference and if you have a cheap clone coming you’ll be happy. I don’t like Ross style compressors and greatly prefer optical I've got a Cali76 clone currently which is great but ...

Couple of pedals on the way, Sonicake OC-2 clone and a Ly-Rock SP Compressor clone.
