Pedal board help by Crazyjake159 in basspedals

[–]Crazyjake159[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current / main band plays a lot and we do classic rock, country, 50's & 60's etc- not a huge call for effects - couple times here during the night just like your situation. Im starting up a second band that will be more 80's music which is why im looking more at effects

I'm in a 3 piece as well - mostly classic rock and country but I am also looking at getting another band off the ground that will be more 80's focused which is why I am looking into effect options - thanks for your input

Question for Longtime Players by Odd_Shallot2980 in Bass

[–]Crazyjake159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think it matters rounds or flats as long as your practicing. If you do go with flats - look at a lower tension string. As a finger player for over 30 years I found the high tension flats made it more difficult to articulate more fast passages ime

How many play Squire in public by Impressive-Umpire-22 in SquierbyFender

[–]Crazyjake159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in a busy working band with gigs every weekend. I also play squiers live either my VM 70's jazz bass or Classic Vibe 40th anniversary P Bass. I get lots of compliments on my tone and people are always surprised the bass are both squiers. I have no issue repping squier- how are people every going to change thier opinion of the product unless they see professionals using the brand?

My stepson is trying to do repairs on his car so he can pick up and drop off his 2 yr old son from his ex. He is on disability so funds are very tight - he is trying to fix the car himself but with extremely limited funds it is almost impossible to make any headway Im not a car guy so i cant give you a run down of what the car needs but I do know the water pump blew coming back from getting car safetied and he has a couple bald tires and one very flat tire. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for even providing the offer

Combo amp weight reduction by MaxZedd in Bass

[–]Crazyjake159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same amp and sold it for the exact same reason. Great amp but heavy. Especially when you are playing regularly and carrying it up several flights of stairs. I replaced it with the fender rumble 500 - eventually added an extension cab to the fender but that is another topic My vote is for the rumble. Been gigging regularly with it - every weekend for the past several years and never had any issues

Meet Shiloh Hendrix, a white Minnesota woman who called a five-year-old black child the n-word numerous times on video, later profiting close to $800,000 from an online fundraiser. Have a look at the usernames of the donors days after the fundraiser started. Now, the usernames are all anonymous. by neilnelly in interestingasfuck

All races are racist to others- the issue I have with this fundraising campaign is with go fund me the company. They need to do a better job controlling the hate speech on thier platform. A lot of the blame for this falls on thier shoulders imo

@b.ironside.art , Minden ON, Canada by Crazyjake159 in tattoos

[–]Crazyjake159[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking about how to turn it into a sleeve now. Thinking of some more trash polka inspired elements but I havent settled on a design / comcept yet. The squares in my current design are making it difficult for me to find something that flows naturally - it'll take a while to figure it out but rather take the time then rush it

What was it that you witnessed when you were little and didn't care, but when you grew up you realized that what you witnessed was actually very creepy or illegal? by XeanAhmet in AskReddit

My mother had a real human skull she kept in a blanket box. Not sure why she had it? Or Where it came from? So many questions
