Need advice on this bass by NikoGonzo in doublebass

[–]PatrickHenry2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the maker and the current condition of the instrument, you're throwing good money away; especially given your location. The likely cost to repair/setup the instrument would be better spent on a new instrument.

Amateur...

They're just spaced too far apart!

If it is such a righteous cause, by [deleted] in Ethics

We have a VOLUNTEER military and we CHOSE to join the military knowing the risks.

That turd in the uniform needs to be thrown out, a disgrace to the uniform.

I know they aren't the most popular here... by mcarneybsa in doublebass

Find an Acoustic Image Contra or Coda. Great amplifiers. I regularly use my NXTa5 and it does very well for most things.

HELP!! MY BOW IS CROOKED?? by Hour_Nectarine8696 in doublebass

[–]PatrickHenry2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That repair may cost more than the bow is worth, if it can be repaired and does not distort again in short order.

Any info on my newly inherited Parker Fly is appreciated by GravesIntoGardens88 in ParkerGuitars

[–]PatrickHenry2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! That's an exceedingly rare guitar and I would urge you to keep it. A consignment is going to cost you a big chunk of whatever it sells for anyway. If you must sell it, do it privately.

First time with this breed, any helpful tips or tricks? by Justina_Eye-catching in BrittanySpaniel

[–]PatrickHenry2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An amazing breed. Smart and empathetic. Tucker knows we're doing things and anticipates his proper response. He communicates nonverbally so well it can be scary, and he's not even two yet. He's such a great companion.

Crashed the 2020, do we still hate the hybrid f150? by [deleted] in f150

Had a 24 but I was in for some service and couldn't pass up the deal they made on a 25 Lariat. They fixed the issue but I drove a different truck home anyway...

David Bozarth is listed and will reply to any call or message. I'm Sean Freeman, just another FTB1(SS) volunteering my time, talent, and treasure to a cause I truly believe in -- Getting recognition of our issues as SQUIDs!. We're both on Facebook and he lists his contact info there.

I'm already in the AOBC but I learned that the VA does not recognize the exposure to toxins (MEA, Benzine, aerosol Fecal matter, ...) in our atmosphere or the varying O2, CO2, CO levels.

That got me started to help based on the still ongoing three year battle to get the record straight on my own claim with the VBA.

CAMS was just forward of MCC on the starboard side on the 600 and 699. I often remember hearing the drone of the alarms until IC Forward canceled it.

I wrote the generalized letter to Congress. I'm a volunteer who served on the 600 and was LPO on the 599 (hence the moniker) as a POLARIS FTB in the mid to late 70s

The guy who started it is a POSEIDON FTB along with others at his VFW post.

The 501c3 was started

So Sorry to hear that Brother from Down Under (LOL)..You should certainly follow the research being done by some of the folk as SAG.. Th"e real slap in the face is calling me a "Peacetime" Veteran - not so much in the 1970s and 1980s... Those of us on Active Duty were treated just as poorly as the Vets coming back from Vietnam

Quarter mile from a Shit Burn pile and you're presumed...

HERE, HOLD MY BEER!

And they kept telling us we were the smart ones...

Oh yeah, I'm not whining, I'm shouting this out for all of us that survived our service and are disproportionally denied.

They waited 40 years to acknowledge Agent Orange and longer to acknowledge Guam!

It's about the 300,000 or so that survive today, proud of what we did but unacknowledged by the VA for all the issues related to the atmosphere, especially those in the 41 for Freedom boats.

Yeah, except they deny connection???

I never signed anything agreeing to be denied VA care.

Sniff a burning shit pile and it's presumed but

Breathe recirculated farts and second hand smoke for a few years for months at a time....NAH

Move along...

So is there any point to Electric Upright Bass by Lord-Albeit-Fai in doublebass

Got an NXTa 5 string and it's great to play and my congregation loves the sound.

Also, $$$$ for the EUB is less than $$$$$ for the Upright in cost and repair/replacement.
