a Rochester NY thing or a competition between Scott & DrBassman?

You have to something indoors up there in Winter - I understand that it's chilly sometimes not to mention the polar bears out looking for their next meal

The Bass Zone / Re: Marking my spot - Dogs & basses!

« on: January 13, 2008, 08:44:42 AM »

Several years back one of the local news shows did an "expose" on homeless with dogs - everyone of these people made it clear that the dogs were a goldmine. They also spied on several of them - turns out they drove nice cars, parked blocks away from where they were panhandling, and lived in some pretty nice places. Seems that full time panhandling was a fairly lucrative profession.

I really like it. I like the song and I think the bass stands out nicely in front of the mix, where God intended it to be

, my compliments.

I would warn anyone about Reranch- It's brittle! Both my red non Reverse & White Eb-0 have chipped just by looking at it!

I would never use Reranch if you want something that is even partially durable!

If you want a fast relic job, use Reranch!

Mixed & sprayed Nitro has to fare better. I'm disappointed in the durability of reranch.

I thought (heard) that RR was just McFaddens Nitro that they tint at the loading of the can? I have done three in RR - my white Pbass and my Red Fbird plus a buddie's seafoam green - all three have held up well but keep in mind I'm gentle on them.

Length is the problem

At least that's what I've told.....

Someone pointed me at the Warwick Rockbag and the dimensions are very generous. Of course I never found an online retailer that had one

@#*!%, DO YOU MIND!!! This is a new monitor and, thanks to you, it has now been sprayed with coffee!

Don't get me started about the cofee that exited through my nose......

I tell ya that bass is just stunning!

Why can't Gibson just re-issue one?

Geez, with all of the other flotsam ans jetsom they floated down the river lately, need I mention the Reverse V, you think Gibson could toss the public a bone. If they looked at the vintage market they would see that it would make sense.

And +1 on building and restoring - I have a jones for it myself.

I love the color, and I've never like Butterscotch before

, but his one just looks right. Once again - killer job!

I'm curious as to what the all maple makes it sound like - anyway you post some some sound clips?
