Hello Last Bass Outposters!

[Basvarken]

Welcome Garrett.
Cool Gretsch you got!

Guten Tag, Garrett, you are now a permanent guest of ze Reich! Escape is futile.

Test question: Does finish influence sound? And if it did, would we be allowed to say so before "him whose name cannot be mentioned"?

[Highlander]

I think I have finaly managed to secure the proof that "Finish does affect sound..."

You will find the evidence at 26-28 seconds in... anything past that point is at your own risk, as is opening this in the first place... language and images are not meant for younger viewers...



Certainly finished that instrument...

[Hornisse]

Welcome Garrett! 

[OldManC]

Welcome aboard, Garrett. It's always good to add new blood to the mix around here. I hope you enjoy the place as much as I do. This is the best group of guys I've ever run into on the 'net.

finish does influence sound. a heavily laquered and cleared acoustic bass or guitar versus a satin finish one for example. no contest which 'sounds' better, to me anyway.

Yes, Welcome!

Should be "Does finish influence collecting habits?"

Welcome Garrett. Unlike most forums where it is either frowned upon or banned, digression is a prerequisite here. Enjoy

Welcome, Garrett...I have that same Gretsch 2202 and really like it.  Just put the same pickup into a Bronco bass, too.

Enjoy the place!

Welcome!

Always nice to see more Gretsch owners 

[Iome]

Welcome....though you'll regret it..

[Psycho Bass Guy]

Nice to see a new face. Here's the lowdown: there's a lot weird anal sex jokes, WWII references and car/motorcycle nuts on here, so in case any thread ever gets too boring or stays too much on topic, drop a mention of any of those and you're golden.
