I was pushed an ad from Guitar Center for a Thunderbass head. Like I played it high school, with that goofy robot-head mounting handle on the bottom.

As many of you know, I care much more about how I look on stage rather than how I sound. So I was happy to find a strap to complete a "harlequin pair". Mellow, that's the Steinberger that sent its innards to you.

So, I see that I am simply labeled as "Member" here. Rather than something more appropriate to my proud history, such as " Justified Ancient of MuMu". Thank you in advance for rectifying this oversight.

Demonstrating who is the boss of the rhythm section.

Passing the 70-year-old mark triggering a change of priorities. Slimming down possessions. So I'm going to part ways with my 1970ish M-85 with original Bisonics. You NEED this bass.

The one was a Ricky ChrIs Squier bass tobacco stained to fine patina. Unremioveable as both the seller and I found. Plus some issues that only the Mellow one might find interesting. The guys at Acadia studio took it off my hands. These two are a dilemma. The Guilembric on the left just feels so...

A lovely thing. $2500 might work for someone.

Pondering selling my Alembicized JS-II. Not sure, but I'm coming to realize that I'm uninspired about playing out a lot anymore. But, well, you know... Please let me know if any of you might be interested.

Thinking of our own Mellow One and Heironymous here but to all you youngsters out there. Advice = KEEP A SONG DIARY. Start to finish. Maybe a scribble about the inspiration and how you orchestrated the parts and such. Just saying because I really wish I had done that. I'm suddenly...

My old Sony receiver lost too many DA converters and then even some analog channels. Too expensive to repair again. So I spent a portion of the afternoon loading in a replacement Onkyo. Not up to mgod's standards but good enough for me since I still want to be able to crank out records, DAT...

In a mellow mood, I fished out a four disc (3CD/ 1 DVD) set of the Grateful Dead playing at Veneta, Oregon on August 27, 1972. Pretty nasty heat conditions on stage and all around, helped along by a lack of water on site. But some nice closeup camerawork for music vids nerds like me...

I recently bought a set of TI 324-H Jazz flats online. They arrived with an invitation from the seller to take 10% off of my next purchase. Being that those Hofner sets are harder to source, I decided to lay in a couple more sets. But when it went to the StringsandBeyond website I saw they...

On Friday, using my M-85 through a Versatone purchased from the forum curmudgeon.

Mgod was gracious enough to allow me to visit him and view some of his guitars. That was fun, but the stories that went with many of them were even more fun. He is not the nasty guy some of you believe him to be. (Sorry for spilling the beans, Dan.) Glad I got to hang with him for a bit.

Lazy boy shd research. But I wonder when I look at later JA vids where the stage is crowded with Versatones, Fender Showman amps and Fender and/or Sunn speaker cabs. Was Jack only playing through the V-tones? Maybe in one photo i saw with like six V-tones on stage. But other times, it looks...

It struck me that we are a pretty small community - globally or nationally. A small but fine group of people that care about their sound. (And, of course in my case, stage appearance & charisma.) Even over on the bigger boards, it's just a few of us old geezers. Complaint? Nope. Rather...

After some A-B-ng, I put a fresh set of TI Jazz FLATS on my active older, JS-II. So the GuilEmbic still sports TI Jazz ROUNDS. Being I'll be playing some shows this summer where I'll be happy to have basses with such diverse sounds, I'm really happy. And a poke at all of you "I'll leave my old...

So, long ago I mentioned how my cherry red JS-II was annoyingly head-heavy on the strap. A couple of posters commented that they had never noticed that. Now with two in house, it's interesting. My new black Alembized beast is noticeably heavier when you pick it up. (I THINK it is a 72 vs a...

I am looking to sell a pair of Guild bass humbuckers which were removed from the bass I Alembicized. Two pickups and wiring included, but no pickup mounting rings. Wondering if they might intrigue anyone here for $200 shipped USA.
