Other Bass Brands / New neck for my Dano
« on: May 17, 2009, 02:46:06 PM »
Turns out the frets were put in pretty poorly on my '63 Reissue longscale Dano bass. The shop did they best the could but suggested I find a replacement as the fretwork would cost $80-100. So, I found one on eBay which had been removed from a new bass damaged in shipment. Brought it to the shop and picked it up yesterday. Man, it's a LOT better: a totally different playing bass. I'm happy!

Fender Basses / Cowpoke P-bass in the house!
« on: May 17, 2009, 02:43:27 PM »
I've been looking around for Fender P-bass to go along with the Dano and T-bird but didn't want one of the more commonly seen ones. Friday I saw an interesting looking P-bass on eBay and sent a photo of it to a friend who told me it's what was often referred to as a "Cowpoke" bass. It's sunburst and looks like it's been around the block a couple of times but it's definitely high on the unusual-looking P-bass category. I understand they were made only for a few years in the early '90s.

What do you guys think of them?

Are the pickups on the Standard the same as those used in the Thunderbirds?

Gibson Basses / Saw a T-bird in action last night
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:17:38 AM »
Out of the hundreds of bands I've seen play, I've neither seen nor heard a T-bird in action. Last night I went to a local bar, Slim's, to see the Octane Saints, and there was a Gibson T-bird. Holy crap, the sound was awesome! I had to interrogate him about it after the show.

Before last night I did not know that Gibsons have the front strap pin at the base of the neck while the Epis have them on the front horn. I suppose the reason is that the Epis have the bolt on neck while the Gibs do not. I'll have to relocate my pin then.

All this is elementary to everyone here, but I'm still learning!

Gibson Basses / Looking at a Thunderbird after work today.

If I end up with it, are there any recommendations for a stand best suited for the T-bird? The last thing I want is for it to fall over and knock the headstock off.

Anyone have any thoughts about Epi nonreverse Thunderbirds? Do they have the same sound as the reverse models?

The Bass Zone / Hello all, just joined up
« on: February 21, 2009, 03:16:16 PM »
A buddy of mine told me I had to join under pain of death, so here I am. Started playing in December and am having a great time with it. Currently I'm playing a Danelectro '63 RI long scale through a mid-'70s Fender Bassman.  :)
