coming back this weekend. A fresh start to the relicing debate - woohoo! ** ** heavy irony here, if you're thinking of being negative, please just dont bother.

Better...

Mine was bolt on

I had one in trans grey - totally awesome

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1464793213' post='3062617'] Likewise. Way to come in being super rude. [/quote] Me also, rude, stroppy, and impatient were words that crossed my mind reading this thread

Why not run some string thru a piece of sponge and stuff it under your bridge cover ?

Bet they could - my prosebass looked like it had been machine gunned by the time it left their tender care

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1464616386' post='3060804'] Got a pic? [/quote] Only once I have patented it

I designed one that fits a bridge cover

[quote name='BasicBird' timestamp='1464506144' post='3059845'] What does Gas mean? [/quote] Gear acquisition syndrome The idea that your playing will improve beyond all recognition if you dispose of a perfectly acceptable bass and buy a different one

There are several threads answering exactly this question - you should be able to find them using the search function

I had one - US feel for less money, I didn't care about the case and the graphite rods

I think both 51-57 and actual telecaster bass look cool beyond words so I'd love to try either

Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems a storm in a teacup ? Driven perhaps by an unintentional pun on "come"...

[quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1464112006' post='3056662'] I am on the train home and just thinking how much I enjoy playing bass. I do not have quick fingers, my tone and volume are questionable but I just love picking up a bass and noodling. I have yet to gig and will not be the next Trujillo, Sting or Pastorious but, I do not care. So for those of you who think that only gigging players are real or that you have to be able to slap or play a certain number of strings, go boil your heads. I am happy playing bass and making music. That is all. [/quote] Yes, with you, the odd OM night is nice but even looking at my basses makes me happy

I'm not sure I'd pay all that, I go with an earlier poster who suggests you could get a luthier to do an amazing job with fender or mighty mite parts for a lot less

Sounds like long term trouble whatever happens, I'd walk

Nice tortoiseshell there

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1464032911' post='3055990'] WOW!! Cool! Where did you get it done? I must get mine done. I'm sure my MD will be SOOOOOOOoooooo impressed when she see's this done to my company car. [/quote] Won't be valid, you didn't drive it for 39 years and leave it outside in all weathers

[quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1464031189' post='3055962'] Ooops.Wasn't trying to be rude or disrespectful,just expressing an opinion and not trying to stir the pot like some people do.The last three words of my earlier post say it all-"different strokes.....whatever....",you do your thing,I do mine and we might not understand each other and that's OK.I'm a bit weird by some standards since I own and gig with a Yamaha RBX750A(anybody out there have one?) and a Yamaha SLB200 EUB and play through a Laney amp which is a rare thing here in Canada.Probably lots of people wouldn't get that either...and that's OK.Apologies to any one I have offended,I'll be more careful in the future. [/quote] You didn't offend me, it wasn't what I wanted to see in the thread I started, but you're entitled to an opinion

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1463983470' post='3055436'] I have both, and often do the darth Vader thing, looking at one then the other , back and forth trying to decide which side to take. [/quote] You should say to them that you find their lack of faith in your ability disturbing before picking one up by its neck
