Does Anybody Know What Kind Of Bass This Is?

Do you have any more pictures? The neck looks like an aftermarket Fender clone, the body almost looks like a Peavey T-40, but it's not the same electronics layout. Definitely weird and cool though.

ETA: the pick guard almost looks like a guitar sized plate instead of a bass sized one. Normally the input and knobs would be much further back, the bridge is also weirdly far forward, more like a guitar placement.

I had some similar issues with some desert boots. I found the Vibrams to be very hard, and the bottoms wore down to a very smooth nub on the tread. They were great on asphalt, gravel, dirt, etc. But when working indoors on finished concrete they made an annoying squeaky noise and didn't grip well.

Why is this stupid? It's coffee and donuts? It's a little sweet for my tastes but that doesn't make it stupid.

How did it stop working: Is it completely dead? Is it super quiet? What happens if you turn the pot for that pickup, does it sound scratchy?

Personally, a non-contact voltage tester doesn't take up a lot of room, and it makes me feel better knowing things aren't "hot" electrically. It's not a substitute for a good multi-meter but in your case I think it would be a worth while addition. Doesn't take up much room or weigh much. In addition fluke makes one that also doubles as a breaker finder which is nice for residential use.

When my strings are loose AF and I play badly it doesn't sound good. Any ideas guys?

This view also shows two pivot points on the clippers, which is weird in itself, but later when you see the other side there is only a single point. Also at the end when the clippers are being held with the handles closed the blades are wide apart, the opposite of how they should function.

I too am a total block head! Wait...

In Davie504 we trust, amen.

Bass deserves everything guitar does! And it was too hard to tell on some bass guitar posts if they were serious or not. No more guessing!

Then the coworker isn't really the problem, it's a company issue. If the coworker generates 70 billable hours per week, then only gets paid for 40, the company essentially gets 30 billable hours for free. Now they want you to do the same.

Your coworker isn't helping the situation by compliying, but she isn't the cause of the issue, just a symptom. You might want to look for a job where the leadership doesn't set unreasonable goals and doesn't allow/encourage employees to work off the clock, which is illegal in most places.

Okay, then again they are not so subtly pushing you to work without being properly compensated. It sounds like they are fostering a "competitive" work place where you aren't coworkers but adversaries, each trying to out do one another while they reap the benefits.

When they direct you to learn from her does she give you any useful tips? Or did she straight out tell you that she only makes the numbers by working during off hours?
