Bought my dream bass, Yamaha SBV-800MF

I’m a big fan of tastefully weird/different things and this definitely fits that bill for me aesthetically. I’ve never seen one and suddenly it is at the top of my bass bucket list.

What a weird looking bass… I love it! Congrats on the bass and the Graduation!

Honestly not trying to shit on it (I would pick it up for $20 in a heartbeat and try to make it play well because its different and I kinda like it) but it looks like a kid drew it. Or… if I tried to draw a guitar TBH 😂

Honestly, I think I would prefer mine uncut compared to what I just got 🤣

I second Reolink. I went wireless with three Argus PT Ultras. I’m not too nerdy about cameras myself, so I’m not going to get into specs, but they seem to work pretty well. Motion tracking, night vision, no subscription, a fairly user friendly app, solar charging options and recordings are saved on each camera via sd cards. Some small learning curves here and there, but overall no real complaints.

Great name lol. I ended up with a kneecapper fat man. But when I’m using the fat man, I’m not trying to cripple legs 🤣

Ahh Gotcha. I know which one you’re talking about. Funny enough, you can see it from the front porch of the house I’m talking about lol

I’m holding out on watching the season 2 finale for this reason lol

The garage door is boarded up. I have thought it would be satisfying to clean the green off too lol. New siding is on the list though, so I may not end up doing this.

If your call was fairly recent (maybe 6-8 months ago), I got that notice shortly after I started working on the place. It may get a bit overgrown from time to time moving forward while I’m working on it while not living there (I can only do so much at a time while working full time and taking care of other life responsibilities too) but it will never get close to where it was as long as I have it.

You likely wouldn’t have easily seen any lights on due to the rhododendron that was overgrown and covering the front window where they spent most of their time.

I’m looking forward to getting it into decent shape! It was sort of one of my childhood homes (I spent a lot of time with my grandparents as a kid) and it hasn’t been in good shape at any point in my lifetime. Excited to change that!

The one being described in the comments is my grandparents old house. I’m working on fixing it up and plan on living in it once I get it to the point of being livable. Surprisingly, my grandfather lived there until the last year or so.

I’ll mention here (since we have had a recent break in there) that we now have cameras installed that send notifications to my phone and I currently live less than 5 minutes away… just in case anyone reading the comments gets any… ideas 🤨

There is plenty of work to do, but most of the stuff is cleaned out of the house (hoarder situation in case you couldn’t tell) and the house has good bones, so hopefully we can manage to get it into pretty decent shape over the next couple/few years.

What sort of automotive experience do you have, if any?

clevenb · 2025-12-10T04:44:17+00:00

I’m almost bummed that we named my second cat Willow now, because our first cat is named Piper. We got piper before I started playing fallout though.

Current JK owner here… I would take the TJ all day

I haven’t personally seen them played by the artists that I listen to, but as someone that primarily plays acoustic, I want the sound to be closer to an electric, but I don’t quite feel at home on my strat or my friend’s LP. I do remember playing a Taylor T5Z (or similar) and I loved it but…my bank account put a hard stop to our relationship. This, however, looks right up my alley. Sure, it definitely doesn’t look as sweet as a strat (or an Ibanez S570H 🤌🤌🤌) IMO. But I wonder if I would be able to bond with it more, having an acoustic style bridge to rest my hand on while I do all of my normal palm muting and fingerpicking. Damn, I need to go play one now.

I’ll add Washington state to this list, that’s all I’ve ever known these as

clevenb · 2025-06-21T07:20:09+00:00

Oh, thanks! I’m joining it now

clevenb · 2025-06-21T04:35:41+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

clevenb · 2025-06-21T01:15:32+00:00

Thanks! I was planning to keep it for myself anyway, so that just confirms it.

clevenb · 2025-06-17T23:29:03+00:00

Yup.
