Wow, nice work.

Joe has a thread on here where he took (takes?) theory questions. He’s so knowledgeable, patient and explains things even a theory muppet like me can grasp.

@Dood’s reviews strike again! They do look like a lot of kit for a decent price.

Ooh nice.

Yeah, idiosyncratic, but JM does like narrow necks. Not a fan of all black, but it’s still a standout shape and style. Just watched the video; feel inadequate again.

I remembered another one: Gillian Welch - country singer, she has a really nice voice and writes some great tunes.

Ooh Glou Glou sure do some tastily equipped pedals.

Regina Spektor - slightly mad, adds in Russian lyrics, lovely voice, great songwriter.

Love the finish. Schmexxy. What sort of ballpark price was it (shipping etc included)?

Ooh tasty wood.

It can be done within a specific time frame - but the kids need to be asleep, or downstairs watching TV/arguing/emptying the fridge, and we both need to be not knackered. So once a blue moon - and that's a very specific shade of blue, mind. There's not even a lock on the bedroom door! I do like that bass - so wot's the preamp do the - 3 band eq with mid-freq control, plus blend and volume? (counts knobs)

Hah - I was supposed to get zapped in the Spring after #4 (he's 15mths now) - but Covid put paid to that for a bit. My Wife's done the: 'are we sure?...' thing a few times... We already had to have one bedroom split to make 2 so we had 3 bedrooms for 4 kids. Gah! So - you'll definitely never sell this new shiny MM bass then. I do love the colour - does it have an official name (i.e. was the person who refinished it working to a guide?)

Hah - he speaketh truth. We have two preteen girls and it's awful: one is Kevin the Teenager and the other is manic and angry all the time. That's a nice bass - what's under the square pickscratchguardplate section?

I had a red one of these for the best part of a decade. Comfy neck; good eq, solid bridge, made a good noise, even with me playing it.

He’s also a very patient chap to put up with Mr Mustaine all these years. There’s some youtube vids of him playing promotional slots at US guitar shops and he does some classic Megadeth tracks to backing: Five Magics shows what an epic pick player he is: total control and consistency. Megadeth when he hasn’t recorded with them are just a boring thrash band.

Nice!

Lovely - it looks like it means business doesn't it

That's the skill of bands like Rush and Dream Theater - to play what sounds like 'just a good song' and yet it's complex if you really listen to it. Disappear - Dream Theater Tiberius - Smashing Pumpkins

Starless - 13/4 and 13/8. Carve Away the Stone - Rush - it has 3/4, 4/4. 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4 in it

Hah. You know this is true. I don't gig, practice, use a PC for plugins etc. so it's no appeal for me I think (someone will be on to correct me) - but it is one of those useful tools that will probably prove handy.

It's certainly a box of tricks. I think you'll find it's 'reassuringly expensive'!

That's really smart - but yes; they've used one neck design for fretted and just replaced frets with lines for fretless - tsk, dots and markers in the middle. I do like the concept though.
