Had one for a few years, it’s my main bass. Don’t ding it, the poly is an inch thick ;) colour is the same and it’s awesome

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...

Rhett Schull for bassists.

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

Do I like anyone anymore

Just having a spring clean in the studio before I head back to sea. Totally distracted by a ribbon mic I hadn't used in a long time - sounds so good!

This is how I'm staying musically sane at sea.
Great way to unwind at the end of a shift.
