That's ok by me. You can have my share of all the Rics out there. I've never liked them and Geddy played and recorded with his Jazz Bass a lot as well.

Missed this one. Wonder if someone else was hosting his balls after his death? :unsure:

Padding your hand eh? ;)

Nice to see yet another respected Strat-Talk member join with us. We have a nice thing happening here. Stick around with us!

Whether you're a guitarist or a bassist there's always an interest in aftermarket products especially better bridges. I've been using Babicz FCH Bridges on a Tele and my PBass and JBass for about ten years now and I'm duly impressed. They aren't inexpensive but in terms of adding to attack and...

Pretty good choice if you're gonna have just one. (y)

I've done my share of Jaeger shots and once won a jello shot contest!!! 🏆 But that's not what you mean is it? ;)

I posted a pic of my current bass rig a few weeks ago commenting on how tiny it was but I realized I failed to include something else in the pic that could be compared to it and make it's scale easier to understand. So I took one with that new Sire U5 short scale bass next to it. The bass...

I've reached the conclusion that "wants" never seem to stop wanting and go away. There's really nothing more I absolutely need having covered various body styles and pickups. But somehow I still can't rest so I'm often in the process of thinking about selling something and replacing it with...

That's an incredible story and back history Scott. Interesting guitar to have in your collection too.

A lot of bassists play with the most outrageous setups I've ever seen. When I was subbing in a rock trio a few years ago because their regular bassist was on probation and couldn't travel when he returned his Dad who was the guitarist/vocalist brought me his Squier PBass and asked me to set it...

They are kinda like that aren't they. Of all my different guitars the Teles have always been the easiest to just pick up and play. It always feels like I'm more "connected" to guitar and amp than with others.

Terrific player and vocalist. Love his stuff with Govt. Mule and the Allman Brothers. Looks like he's lost some serious weight too.

Ha ha, should have figured a good German beer drinker would chime in with some advice. 🤣

While I believe that certain guitars and their setup tends to benefit from certain strings for the sake of simplicity and economics I use half size 9.5-.44 or 9.5-46 on all of mine. The only change is if I use pure nickels instead of nickel wound.

Switching it up for the weekend. It's Telecaster Time. Who doesn't love a Tele? It's simple and unpretentious. Kinda like a cold beer on a hot summer day and who doesn't love a tall cold brew on a hot summer day. Amirite? Of course I am. Now I'm confused. Should I drink or should I...

I had a natural finish Casino which I sold earlier this year. As much as I loved it most of my playing was done on my other models. When playing at home I sit down a lot more these days and a full 335 size body is less comfortable for me than smaller body models like my ES339. But now I find...

Bill was a jazz player and to my way of thinking the L5 was his Gibson jazz players special. Bill designed several other models for them as well but greatly disagreed with the quality of the product they were producing. Sound familiar?

Ya' got that right. The question is do they realize we're all on the same boat and sharks don't take cash or American Express? Stop bailing and let the flood of water flow toward them. They'll grab a bucket soon enough.

Amen to that. Makes me realize just how much older I've gotten.
