Common sense > science

Do not. Let them heal as protected as possible.

The reverse is also in effect, with gear4music for instance. Here in The Netherlands they pose as a local business.

What if, and I know I'm asking a lot here, what if they play superb, sound great, are super comfy and weigh less than 4kg?

This is one way to accrue some fame I guess. Not saying she's wrong, just saying she's insignificant.

How do they look in action?

The Wave or Seagull styles for example are not as pointy as some others 😁

B.C. Rich USA has many neck-through single pickup natural finish basses in non-fender shapes.

I might visit Jens Ritter, Alembic or Maruszczyk, but really I have all I want. Tempted to give a Barefaced or Mesa 2x12 a try, see if they are sufficient to replace my 4x12. Maybe a fliptop

I browsed through the 'dance music' thread earlier and I must admit most videos there are too awkward to be funny.

Which do you pick up to record/gig etc? Neither? Are they just wanna have a? Sell both.

To say "fretboard material A always produces tonal characteristic Z significantly" regardless any other factors (neck material, thickness and construction; truss rod design and implementation; headstock; body wood; hardware; pickup location and configuration; electronics; etc. etc.) Is simply ludicrous. You're all entitled to your opinion of course, but don't try to sell it off as science. Manufacturers sell products with variations to sell more products. Tapping a block of wood can tell you something about it's density and possible included cracks and faults but it's only one of the checks a piece gets before it's chosen (hydrometer for instance). Also I might be mistaken to the meaning of the 'fundamental' which in audiology we mostly assume to be the lowest dominant frequency in the timbre. The one frequency that does not fit in the 'maple is brighter' theory as that mainly suggest that the higher frequency overtones become more dominant in the timbre. Classical orchestra string instruments almost exclusively seem to feature ebony fingerboards yet differ great in tone, something to keep in mind maybe when claiming one type of material always has the same sound. Lastly, can we refrain from name-calling people with a different opinion? Flat earthers, trumpian fact-deniers or whatever it was. Even more so when your logic is flawed and your facts are cherry picked and incomplete.

Really enjoying the confirmation bias, keep it going!

When I was young and stupid I wanted one so I could be like Les Claypool. Now that I'm old and stupid I like how my basses stay in tune.

In case of emergency a dab of CA glue.

Very late-90s correct! Samick made so much decent gear at affordable prices. I still have three different power amps in the attic/music room. Good stuff!

Enter sandman and the unforgiven, or any metallicker off the black album probably.

Don't know how I got here, but no regrets.

For B-sides and BACKing tracks

Have shopped there in store (they have several large brick and mortar stores) and online without difficulty. The one time I needed their customer service it didn't move fast but it all got handled well. Any questions just give them a call, though they will be suffering from reduced staff due to Corona limitations.

Dude.. let people have their fun.

Didn't Jamerson use a rolled up tea cloth?

I love that

Any thoughts on Scientist?
