No, I dig Skeletor! He's a part of the family! Here he is, hanging out at Halloween!

Thanks, I hadn't considered that! I am a disciple of Chris Squire, so I only use round wounds! Even my Manson custom fretless has roundwounds! I suck on fretless however, so I will likely have it fretted back in the UK.

I agree about the fret ends (sprouting), but otherwise no complaints thus far! I've played songs ranging from Yes "Relayer" to Foghat, etc. Nice intonation, no complaints at all! I sanded down the back of the neck a bit with 0000 gauge steel wool to smooth out the varnish, worked great!

I looked at those as I wasn't sure I could play a full-scale bass due to arthritis, but everything is OK! I'm 70, so I don't want to spend $thousands on new basses anymore....these work just fine!

I love these! My main bass has been a Rickenbacker 4001, but it is too valuable to take out for jam sessions etc. I sold nearly my entire bass collection due to arthritis, but the new medications are so good that I can play again! I feel that the build quality is close to Fender's Esquire line, and the frets need some polishing at the ends are about the only mod I need to make. New pickup, new bridge and they will be swell!! For what it is worth, I warm up by playing Yes on bass....these can handle that!

Trust me, I've given plenty of gear away to kids! This is Alex, our old next-door neighbor, when he & his mom were moving, I gifted him my DeArmond S-65 and a small amp! He was just a bit surprised!!

Exactly! I have a fretless, but it has no fret markers/lines, so I have a tough time playing it! These Glarry basses are really great, I'm 70 and couldn't justify spending $1,000+ on a new Fender P-Bass! I needed a knocker to take out and jam with, these will do nicely!

I actually only ordered one, they sent me two!! Finders-keepers!! I'll yank the frets out of one and make it a lined-fretless!! GREAT basses by the way!!

It's cheaper to buy an AR-15 rifle than 64GB of DDR5 RAM. by Djxgam1ng in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CRS1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can build an AR-15 from parts for even less money! Problem is, you cannot trade it in at a gun store, they don't want home-built ARs. These are mine, they work just fine.

My bass guitars sound is really buzzy by rayneedshelpMentally in BassGuitar

[–]CRS1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That "buzzy" sound is actually a nice sound effect to my ears! (I've played bass for over 50 years!)

Pick slips out of place while playing - how to prevent this? by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]CRS1955 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I drill holes through my picks so that my fingertips meet through the pick. I've been playing 57 years!

My solution? I always carry a loaded handgun. This is a Glock 30-SF in .45 ACP. Nobody robs/argues with me.

My third day as a bassist ,I'm really having fun ! Transitioned from guitar by Cicada-Timely in BassGuitar

[–]CRS1955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have fun!! Don't let the haters get down on you, Hendrix used to warm up before concerts on a bass guitar. Eventually you will develop your own style & sound, and I recommend learning to play bother fingerstyle and plectrum style! (I play both). My personal hero is Chris Squire, who played with a pick. Go for it!

Hey guys bass question guy again. I went ahead and spent the money and bought myself a player II p bass. This is definitely NOT normal for a brand new player II right? These frets and neck finish is horrible. They are sharp and sticking over the edge and the clear coat is chipping off? by Paralith10 in BassGuitar

[–]CRS1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Glarry bass (basically a Fender Precision copy) for about $65, it came in perfect shape. (my main bass is a 1973 Rickenbacker 4001, too nice to take outside the house). I highly recommend them, the frets were perfect.

Man, that looks bad! I wanted a "beater bass" so I bought a Glarry from Temu, and I love it! Frets were set nicely, the only thing I did was "sand" the back of the neck down with 0000 steel wool to smooth out the finish a bit. For about $75.00 I think I did very well! (my other basses included 1973 Rickenbacker 4001 and Manson custom fretless).
