  1. I don’t miss the early mornings after the late nights either.
  2. That’s lovely , Andy! The trad scene is very much alive in NS.
  3. I’m just a thumper , but have a bunch of old friends in the metal business. They like fresh strings and pedals. Their choice of basses actually is pretty normal.
  4. You’re a fifty year old Morris dancing goth that plays the accordion ? welcome ! … this thread really deserves some pics!
  5. They don’t give a damn about legal repercussions in the People’s Republic.
  6. I feel strongly about the counterfeits of instruments that are truly designed to deceive , but these are easily spotted at a glance. I know that doesn’t make sense…
  7. The drive down to Niagara is gorgeous this time of year!
  8. My favourite dive downtown has the classic issues. Lots of neon signs around the stage , and there’s a couple of outlets the regulars avoid. I think the owner found someone who’d do some wiring for beer. And yet it’s my favourite venue.

    Show us your rig!

    Big Berg! I’ve been looking at the Sisma.
  11. Ringo also played some piano and guitar. And I’d bet was a better bassist than Lennon.
  12. Never thought of him as a bass player. I’d bet Ringo was a better Bass player…

    I’d been rooting around for a little TH for a while. The search is over. I like it.
  14. Neon signs can wreak havoc too.
  15. A friend recently bought an Ashdown in Texas , but the amp quickly had some issues and he had service problems. I was telling him the service in England was stellar. … back it went
  16. I’ve driven around Toronto. madness
  17. Welcome. You might find an interesting amp in the classifieds. (amp nerd here)

    Test hi

    Hello? edit … check …test … 1 …. 2 …. hello ? … IS THIS THING ON???
  19. I’m an old Fender guy , and was a Pbass aficionado. … now the only Fender shaped thing I play is a Squier Bass VI , and that’s just goofing around.
  20. I put the “improved” heavier string set on the Squier and found they made a nice difference from the factory set. I had never really considered the Bass VI and then one popped up on kijiji and somebody got it before I made my move. And at that point I decided I had to have one. I’ve been happily surprised at how often I pick it up. I heartily recommend them. The Gretsch is a winner too , however mine does weigh a ton.
  21. With a 29.75 scale they can easily be used both ways. Danos are being made in Korea once more. edit … the Dano 6 in line headstock is often called the Dolphin nose headstock , I have a friend that has several vintage Dano made Silvertones with that headstock , so I’ve liked it. I have a reissue 56 bass with the Dolphin nose and don’t find it any uglier than the classic coke bottle. I’ve been a Longhorn player since they first were reissued , and to this day can’t decide if they’re butt ugly or cool as heck.
  22. I have a Gretsch baritone , I’ve read that it was initially designed to be a BassVI , but they decided to put lighter strings on it and sell it as a baritone. I’ve just tuned it A-A but I might try it with some heavier strings one of these days.
