We bring the noise.
We determine the chord.
We wrangle drunken cats.
Post whatever bass related things you want, with two caveats:
- Don't be a dick. That includes rig shaming.
- No porn, gore, politics, religion, or anything else that upsets your mom, as you still rehearse in her garage.
Finally got that dream gig?
We want details!

Nice! I like nice things, but seldom can afford them. (The Lakie was a special case, and we've seen many miles, stages, and studios together.) My fretless Ibby was a back-door COVID special which was NOT fretless at the time. Its intonation was so damned sharp that my luthier/tech refused to touch it, so I ripped off the frets (nicely, with no tear-out), sawed reference lines in the binding, and left the slots open. (Folks like that bass better than my others, combined!) The small Ibby was payment for playing the Jerry Springer podcast - I had no acoustic at the time, and that was kind of a requirement for the podcast, so the band I played for bought me one! I bought the Lakie online from a guy on Talkbass. Many Kegels were practiced during that transaction, but it turned out to be one of my best purchases.
