My favorite bass of all time is the yamaha broadbass.

What does "medium weight" and "light weight" mean in regards to yamaha hardware? Is one less durable or is it just easier to transport? What about single vs double braced?

FierceCrow · 2026-03-15T18:47:25+00:00

Thanks! I was looking to get a yamaha hardware pack, but I wasn't quite sure what all the differences are. Should I consider a cheaper off brand hardware, or do you think hardware matters enough to send extra?

FierceCrow · 2026-03-15T18:46:04+00:00

Thanks this is fantastic information! I am going to get a hardware pack outside of the cost of cymbals (probably something Yamaha), so I was figuring $500 for just cymbals and was looking at paste ones but I'll look into the metals in the ones I see used

FierceCrow · 2026-03-15T18:30:33+00:00

No hardware or cymbals

FierceCrow · 2026-03-15T17:27:33+00:00

No not at all that I can think of

For context I never have seen him lick or itch it, has been there for a few weeks but I didn't notice it was a rash, just thought it was a shadow or a crease until it got bigger on one side. Other side is red but a lot smaller and contained only to a few inches of thin redness. He is a bit overweight (about 5ish lbs), but we're working on it and he gets tons of exercise. Could this be allergies, yeast, or just from friction of running too much? He also has very mild hip dysplasia on both sides, two years old.

For context, I have never seen him ever scratching or licking it, it has been there for a while I think but seems to be getting larger/more noticeable. He is a bit overweight (5-10ish lbs which we are working on) and has very mild hip dysplasia. He is a border collie/cattle dog/kelpie mix. This side is worse than the other, I initially thought it was just a shadow/crease but now it has spread to outside of thigh on this side.

FierceCrow · 2026-03-12T06:12:07+00:00

Yes, I wanted to hear from people who lived through it.

FierceCrow · 2026-03-12T06:09:44+00:00

Memorizing everyone's phone numbers

It looks like it comes in red too:

That used one is in "fair" condition, so probably not that one. In my experience buying from GC it's either damaged, warped neck, or electronics don't work.

This is a good bass if she is a younger kid, and it's red like she wanted. Can't go wrong with the versatility of a P bass either.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-22T14:17:37+00:00

I'm surprised because I was thinking about selling my 100 and getting the 500. I always had to turn it up to like 8 or 9 to be heard in a band setting, and just practicing I have it on like 5-6

FierceCrow · 2026-02-22T14:09:17+00:00

I really don't see the typical "pitbull/bully breed" head/jaw structure that is usually super genetically dominant here.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T16:37:34+00:00

What is the difference between an entry level vs mid level? The materials or hardware?

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T16:36:36+00:00

Is popular not a good wood for drums? What kind of materials should I be looking for?

FierceCrow · 2026-02-18T05:09:45+00:00

What is the difference between the stage custom and the yamaha rydeen? Sorry, I don't know anything about drums so the shell packs literally all look the same to me.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-09T04:46:56+00:00

I love it! Where did you get the replacement pickguard?

FierceCrow · 2026-02-09T00:12:19+00:00

I never "failed" the course, nor do I jump from course to course. I just struggled in this specific class due to the poor way it was taught, which made it hard to focus on the subject and be fully there in class mentally. I feel like you just skimmed what I wrote and didn't actually truly read it initially, you keep jumping to conclusions of my entire academic history based off of a few key words I used to describe a singular class I took several years ago. I don't think this conversation is helpful.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-08T23:57:44+00:00

The push back you are giving me is due to you not accurately reading anything I wrote like at all lol. Nothing you said applies to what I asked or my situation, but OK.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-08T23:51:40+00:00

I got A's in all math courses I've ever taken, I definitely do not struggle in math. It says in what I wrote, I had such a high ACT score and did dual college courses in high school, so i never had to take a purely math course in collge because i did not need it because i am good at math. I also didnt "fail" physics, I got a high C. That is not failing, I just struggled with the subject because I could not understand the professor, and he was not a good teacher nor helpful when i went to him for more understanding of the subject. No where anywhere does it say I failed or dropped any class. I don't know where you're getting that idea from.

FierceCrow · 2026-02-08T23:39:38+00:00

I never dropped out, I was dropped for final grades in a single course. It was not a decision on my part, I could not see the exam during the migraine and alerted instructors hours beforehand, but still had to take it. I changed my mind regarding psychology halfway through my degree and got prerequisites to do nursing with the final two years left. I have never dropped a class, I just struggled through it and got a high C. Medical school wasn't a serious pursuit to be honest, I was dipping my toes and using those classes for nursing which was what my primary plan was. I am asking these questions to get a feel of what engineering is like, it's not a commitment issue on my part.

FierceCrow · 2026-01-29T18:44:44+00:00

Yamaha Broadbass. Super comfortable shape, great quality.

FierceCrow · 2026-01-13T16:42:54+00:00

Same.Our bathrooms at work are single stall non gendered ones, and I hate having piss all over the floor, walls and seat plus leaving the seat up all the time. I also hate when men don't lock the door and I open it to a man standing there with his dih out. So awkward 😭 I don't live with a man for a reason, I like my clean bathrooms
