The Last Bass Outpost

Quote from: Basvarken on April 01, 2025, 12:07:34 AMIt does make sense to have two outputs though. One to a guitar amp and the other to a bass amp.
It certainly wouldn't work for me if it had only one.

I agree! I question the need for a selector switch if you have two separate output jacks. I'm guessing it was added or moved seeing it is mounted in the pickguard. I tried to find it again last night, I was going to try to contact the owner, I never ran into it again. I wish we had more pics of it, possibly back photo.

Education has much to do with current trends. When I started in college, I think it cost $255 a quarter. Anyone who wanted an education could get one. Within limits, you could be whatever you wanted to be. Sky was the limit, as long as you worked hard and had talent.

The same education is now pretty expensive, resulting in sky high student loan amounts for the working class.

Added to that is a general disdain for education in many areas.

The whole "elitist" bullshit...

... that's a lot of work. One thing I learned to love about Danos was how they were designed to be cheap , and yet were very playable , but you had to accept the cheap tuners , wonky bridges and other eccentricities.
I started a project bass after buying a cheap Talman. Changed the pickup , but haven't yet changed the other pickup , pots and tuners I had planned to do. I'll never break even with it as it is.

It's all a bit much and dystopian right now. And I miss the adults in the room.

But what baffles me the most is the amount of ignorance in the electorate (and I don't mean just the US, it's a symptom of very many Western societies), too many people have a next to nothing grasp of how good administration, domestic economies and worldwide trade work. Snake oil salesmen reign.

I don't know why comprehension of more complex issues has gone out of style, it used to be what set the Western World apart from its competitors. We live in world with an abundance of availabilities of gathering information, facts and knowledge - yet people seem to make little use of them.

Historically, whenever progress, science, education, research and development have been held in low regard, that has not been a good sign and an indication of rulerships trying to keep the public dumb and themselves in power.

The current state of affairs sort of reminds me of Nero and the decline of Ancient Rome.

I would comment here but Darrol has expressed my views very well.

These were really hyped as being great for the price. Doesn't sound like it at all to me. I'm sure you'll get it fixed.

That's a really cool bass. It has some elements that are reminiscent of familiar basses like the quasi-Rick body shape, yet I've never seen anything quite like it, and I like how your unique hardware goes with the paint job.
