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?

Have I missed it or was Richard Cheese not mentioned?

Yes, Rinus Gerritsen is renowned for his danelectro longhorns, even ownes a double barrel one!

Paints come off and the scratchplate turned a funny colour and all! I'd be having a chat!

Songs that radically changed the world for me: Psalm 69 - Ministry Cenotaph - Bolt Thrower (still tugs at my heartstrings) Internal Bleeding - Obituary (actually the whole a-side of Slowly We Rot, I never turned it off before the end. Internal Bleeding is just the first song)

Don't lie. Fibs will always come back to haunt you. Either give him a second chance or tell him how it's not working out.

That was a hard watch, what an annoying fellow. Spot on message though!

Bit small for a riot shield

a cheese board? You can always fill any cavities with epoxy.

Pot/kettle

15 year old me found inspiration with Corinne from Acrostichon and Jan-Chris from Gorefest among many others:

Roll off some treble?
