edwn Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Q: How many BassChatters does It take to change a lightbulb? A: It takes: Four to say they'd be all over it if only it was a 5 string lightbulb ... Six to ask how much the lightbulb weighs Fourteen to say all you really need is a Precision lightbulb Nine to say they used to have a lightbulb just like that, but it was an original '63 and how they regretted selling it Three to say how great the service is at Bass Direct and how if they were in the market for a lightbulb, that's where they'd go Seven to wonder how the lightbulb would sound if it had different capacitors Eleven to say that the bulbs are less bright with flats but that's how they like it Fifteen to say they have not changed their lightbulbs in over a decade ... Oh, and one to actually change the bulb .... 🙂 4 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I had a 1963 Philips tungsten filament bulb - with it's original box! Had proper bayonet fitting, original price sticker (1/6d) and everything. It didn't work, so I foolishly threw it away. Just think what it would be worth now. 😥 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends if you're going to read the instructions or change the bulb by feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yeah but then you’d need to argue if feel is “in the fingers” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
