    I want to see the Ibanez 6 string bass. Is it long scale?

    No it's 30" scale! Plays like a dream although a true bassist might not jive too well with it. For someone coming from guitars ( including 7-string) this was a very easy transition. I love it and groove with it frequently... Many times after some particular bass-line has gotten stuck in my head. I looked at 4 and 5 string basses a long time before getting this one although five-string basses are still very intriguing to me. She's pretty too imo... kinda like the girl next door without makeup... and just the same, knows how to have a good time! I'll post her up!

    No problem. Heck, I don't even own a Fender guitar! Only my '66 Vibrolux Reverb is a real Fender.

    I'm in the process of building a bass amp for my wife, so yesterday when I saw a CL ad for a Hartke 4-10 XL cab for $50, I bought it.The guy says "one side doesn't work", and came down to $30. I don't know if it has dead speakers, or a problem in the jack/switching. I'm driving down Saturday to pick it up! (120 mi away).

    I certainly do love Fender... both guitars and amps, but I love variety too. I'm glad that TFF seems to be open to members posting and discussing other brands.

    I went to GC today to pick up my guitar. Unboxed it in the store. seemed pretty well packed. no gig bag. Ok, if it passes muster, I'd still take it. Checked it over.

    3 large cracks in the top below the bridge to the bottom end, very easily felt with your fingers. Returned it on the spot for credit. Definitely better than getting it at home and feeling like I have to prove that it was damaged before I got it.

    the search continues

    Does TFF frown upon members posting about other brands of guitars ( besides Fenders and Gibsons) in regards to NGD threads or members that would simply like to show their guitars?

    Thanks if anyone can answer that. I have a couple guitars that I'd like to post about but they're not Fender's nor Gibson's.

    I love to read about any guitars in here. I am a member of several forums, but this one is my home. I prefer to post anything here.

    Btw I myself think we should have an "other guitars" section. Most every guitar forum has it, and we'd have more cool threads!

    Thanks, Sergio. That's a solid idea. It would definitely be nice to have another section for other brands. I guess as long as I don't get in trouble posting in the Whammy Bar, it's all good. By the way... Why couldn't my parents have given me a cool name like Sergio. I'd be more mysterious, wealthier, and would probably have all kinds of groupies. Man I got screwed...

    If you ever read Mad magazine, you've probably laughed a lot with another Sergio's work:

    My brothers and I grew up on MAD, which probably helps to explain my dark sense of humor. Spy vs Spy was my favorite. It was violently funny.

    so did we, my mom hated it. My dad didn't get it, either, but he had a twisted sense of humor anyway which we definitely got. My SIL is always bemoaning our family's sense of humor.

    I honestly think that my mom just hated Alfred's image on the cover lol. I had a 2nd grade teacher that actually ratted me out to my mom after finding me reading the publication in class. I have a small ceramic black Spy figurine in my work-room to this day... Friend of mine has the other white one.

    *slightly OT*

    all my mags got thrown out without my knowledge. I was sad.

    Now of course they're worth money, lot of the William Gaines era ones were rather collectible at one time, reprints might have changed that.

    A Space Oddity is still one of my favorite satires.

    On Saturday a $50 Hermida EPH-3 arrived and today a $50 Lovepedal Champ arrived. I can't tell a lot about them (I was out at the track on Saturday, sick yesterday and we had no electricity today due to a big storm last night). I played them both through a battery powered Pignose with my new ES-335 today and was really impressed. This might be the best delay pedal I've heard. Just having it on improved the guitar's tone (easy to say considering the Pignose). Inspiring.

    The Champ sounded cool too. I had the guitar's volumes set at about 6 for a clean tone, cranked for dirty.

    We'll see how they sound with a "real" amp. Tomorrow, I hope.

    BTW, the power is back on after about 18 hours.

    hahaha me too! I liked Don Martin's drawings and the spies as well but Sergio Aragonés was always my favorite.

    I began to read Mad when I was really young. My father would buy them and keep them off sight because he never thought they were appropriate for a boy my age, but I'd always sneak them out anyway.

    I think my personality and sense of humour were built out of Mad Magazine, along with Peanuts, Garfield and Astérix comics.

    uh... and a lot of porn

    I am laughing a lot here. For a long time my avatar in all internet forums and on MSN messenger was Alfred's face.

    Oh, man... Haha! I can almost see my mom sneering in disgust at that very picture! Too funny!

    Btw... I had many Peanuts books and the complete set of Garfield books when I was a kid!! I think that I aspired to be Linus at one point lmao.

    I'd take pictures but I need to polish the frets and oil the board but I saw this gorgeous Squier rosewood fingerboard Stratocaster neck on Stratosphere. it arrived Wed evening .835 at 1st and .919 at 12th fret. 9.5 radius. Nice dark rosewood with good grain. Brand new 2017. The only con is the oxidation of the frets but I've noticed that before on Squier and it's nothing at all to clean them up.

    In preparation for the new practice amp that's on its way, I bought a wireless guitar system from XVive. For when I'm in my living room and don't want a mess of cables getting in the way.

    someday I'd like to check out a wireless system like that. I hear about compression being an issue but in the recording realm that is not necessarily a bad thing. I could use my bathroom as an iso room with an amp fed by a system like that. I've long wanted to know what an amp sounds like in my glass doored shower.

    what does a rig like that go for?

    I paid $154.90, which includes shipping (no tax in my state). There's also one by Line 6 in the same price range that's intriguing.

    This is the one I bought.

    Pat Metheny signature model. Should be arriving tomorrow. MF had a blem for a great price and couldn't resist. Haven't had a true "jazz box" in years, and the urge came on me. Not sure what the "blem" is, but I'll hopefully post pics in a day or two once it arrives. Excited!

    My latest acquisition wasn’t exactly guitar related either, but it’s definitely stage related.

    I often play live wearing sneakers, mostly Converse Chucks or Nikes, and I am starting to get old. The All Stars are killing my feet and sneakers generally have little or no arch support so my back is whining.

    just ordered a new pair of Timberland yellow boots. And I’m seriously considering going Bob Weir and getting myself some Arizona Birks. My aunt was a hippie in the 60s, I have some of it in my blood
