@@chickenbobby666 make sure you find The Fall Guy is Really Good!!! That’s my other personal favorite. Honestly I thought it’d be cool to grab a couple funny Lou Wilson quotes and this just kind of fell together. I had to play another minute or so of bass to make it fit but editing it together was like the hardest part.

@@user-vm9hy7qx7c they’ve held up good so far. I will say- I’d like to put some isolation thingies under the high hat stand. The way it sits flat on the floor, there’s plenty of ?sonic transference? into the floor. Jamming/Gigging would be fine but if you where REALLY mic-ing everything to record, it’d take a few bars before someone asked, “what’s going on with the drums?”

@@telecasterbear hmm…have you considered Mandolin fret wire? Leland Sklar has it on everything and now that I tried it once-I want it on something. You’re keeping the Ebony, is it a good piece of wood? Had an Ebony-ed neck on the Fenderstein at one point with the bridge moved up like 2/3” and I want one! Gonna feel bad if you’ve been making videos and I’m missing them but are you gonna do some videos?

@Redbeard4321 I only have two bass repair videos on my CZcams channel. It's just a slide show of pictures in each. I have not used mandolin wire. The piece of ebony is very black. There is no visible grain.

@@telecasterbear if they’re more then a year old then that’s what I’ve seen. I don’t have enough patience and barely pulled off a couple fretless conversions…I’m the guy you station at the chop saw and yell measurements too. Hope you put something together for CZcams with this next project.

Agreed. Flats for me as well. There was no guitar center back when I started. You were not born yet. It was 1975. Only mom and pop shops. Such a great time. Looking at great used gear that I could not afford. I was only 15 then.

@@telecasterbear just getting back a 5 string that was with a friend for soldering pre-Covid. Teetering between trying Half Wounds or these new Low Tension LaBella’s. Look up Dogal Hellborgs on CZcams but a 5 string set is $100+! Now that Hellborg’s have been around a while I should try to find out how they’re aging…

@@Redbeard4321 I love Gregor, and Lars, and Frank.

⁠​⁠@@telecasterbear Gregor Fris? Lars Lehman? Frank Itt? The bald guy on BassTheWorld?

@Redbeard4321 Yes indeed. I miss seeing reviews by Ove Bosch. He died so young at age 51. He did reviews for warwick gear. A great bass player.

He chewed a hole in the Chicago Bears bed so that’s getting handed down to the kitty. If he manages to get through the Kong bed, honestly I’ll be impressed!

Real talk: for years I’ve been mildly judging my sister. Then we get Alfred and now I’m looking at dog toys everywhere and getting a couple. (if he’s with me in a store, then you have to, right) In our defense- a lot of it is hand me downs from my sister!

…and I just put a Capt. America squeaky shield in the cart. The struggle is real.

You know it!

Short answer: Catholic means universal sooo sure! Could be Lutheran or Methodist…Priest, Father, Clergy…do the Catholics use ‘Reverend’? She’s played 1 or 2 Sundays a month at an Evangelical Free and we just have pastors. When I move down to TN am interested in getting on like a freelance thing and playing some where different every couple weeks. Assume there’s enough money in it to cover gas and maybe add a couple pieces of gear a year.

@@Redbeard4321 Okay, good luck with the playing ,would be an amazing Bass I think, I live in the Netherlands, not much churchmusic here.

@ultrasignificantfootnote3378 Have been very happy with the Reverend and it’s a very respected brand. Hope you get to try one out. Am planning to test out a Lakland 5 string 35” with ebony fret board. What’s your current bass?

Seriously it’s worth catching on the big screen!

That’s Jake Gyllenhaal boomer!

I’ll pass that along. 😉

Alfred, long hair chihuahua. Taking him to 1st vet appointment tomorrow. His mom is my brother’s and his half brother is my sister’s.

I can’t have Benadryl! Took it for a bee sting and then grilled 200 burgers for campers. Got on the radio to the director and said ‘I feel like I’m in a giant marshmallow suit.’ He served the burgers and I had a lie down.

for me its the left ear

Is it all coming through the left ear in headphones? If that’s happening, then I need to figure it out. This is my first time with a keyboard. So I just got a Reface CS cause I had to plan & program everything into the multi pad. I’m literally learning as I go…everything is one track at a time, through $40 dollar interface on a free app…check that, I paid like 20 to unlock all the tools with Hokusai. The images are a slide show cause that’s what the app requires for as long the audio goes. I’m just tired of sending my buddies 1:30 of snippets of stuff. I’m literally a middle aged warehouse worker and volunteer bass player/ tech for church. I like a lot of different music. Lately I’ve been on a Vangelis and John Carpenter kick.

If you got time…I just posted Drive Test in mono. Hopefully it alleviates your rage. Thanks for the heads up on the technical issue. Am looking at upgrading my interface…but am always looking at a lot of gear!

I thought my gear was just busted. Thx

@@Redbeard4321 you're good, you don't owe me an explanation. I'm just a jerk online that suffers from that need to be a hyperbolic jerk online when relaying information haha. But yeah, balance seems to be something like 90% left and 10% right since there's still audio there but barely. Depending on how everything is set up, it could be a problem with physical connection to your interface (something not plugged in fully or a mono plug going into a stereo jack or vise versa, for instance). I've had that happen when plugging something directly into a 3.5mm line-in on my computer.

A percentage is all I’ve ever wanted!

Going back through my old stuff! 1- that girl you got singing is great! 2 your drummer hasn’t posted in 5 months, are the Throwbacks still together? Don’t break my heart Tele!

@Redbeard4321 I would never break your heart, Red. Yes, still together.

Watched another one and noticed your using an IPad music stand setup…which helps my ego. I have the memory of a Goldfish. I can not tell you what song we just played in church two seconds after it’s off the confidence monitor…but I do a good job of coming in, dropping out, building back up…cause I cheat and follow the drummer. 😉

@@Redbeard4321 Yes. I never had an iPad until this band. I use it for lyrics, and I make bass tab notes for any song that is new to me. We have way too many songs, so we don't always play them all.

You gonna get any videos from your gigs! Let me know so I can check it out!

I use to go to the bar almost every night to “keep my roommate out of trouble”, so I know how this works. 😉

@Redbeard4321 Good man, Red.

It’s funny because it’s true!

@@Redbeard4321 You never helped me with that hump.

Thanks! Hope you’re having fun with the family!

NICE! I think Reverend called the color Metallic Alpine. My friend said it reminds her of Tiffany Blue.

Yep. Did I say “saNd”? Me not talk good an stuff…

@@Redbeard4321 also Bartolini was pronounced wrong. Let your bass do the talking I guess.
