The Last Bass Outpost

https://youtu.be/dq6fCOGyVJg?si=gCXeI4usPSDJ8K0h

Damn. I can't remember how to post a YouTube video. I tried to insert the link between the [url] [url] brackets and that didn't work. So I modified it and posted the link directly to the page. That didn't work either. Can someone refresh my memory? Thanks.

Just delete the question mark and everything to the right of it.

Unless you're copying something that's part of someone's playlist, it should be the URL that's in the Address Bar.

No brackets necessary.

No idea if we've had these before but... been a while since I've posted video links and can't seem to get these right...

You need to delete the ampersand and everything to the right of it. If you try to post anything that's part of a playlist, the video won't appear. Only post the basic video link.

In this case, the poster makes you watch on YT anyway.

I remember that you sold off most of them, didn't realize that you kept the 4004C longer.

At least reptiles kept as pets are harmless.

Colorado man died from pet Gila monster’s venomous bite, autopsy shows

I didn’t know that, the first Earthwoods were so appalling in action? I only played one once in a music store - great acoustic signal -, but that was new and had a fine set-up. Of course you can’t have an acoustic bass guitar’s action real low if you want to dig in, but his action seems extreme. I hate fret buzz anywhere on a bass so my preferred action is higher than what most people tend to have. Fret buzz even bothers me when I only feel, not hear it, because the amped signal overpowers everything. That Billy Sheehan-type constant fret buzz in the way his basses are set up would drive me mad. Let's not even talk of JAE.

None of the Earthwoods were known for low action, but the early ones had bracing design problems that caused top problems that made getting decent action harder. Also, the bridges on the early ones had a tendency to come off (no bridge pins). Sterling Ball has talked about this in the past on the MM forums.

That poor acoustic bass in the second vid needs an action setup BADLY! There is enough room between fretboard and strings for the bassist to crawl under. 

It's a first edition Earthwood, low action is impossible. Brian's been playing it since it was new, he's obviously okay with it.
