The Bird Is In The Nest
Posted in Bass Guitar, Local Music, Podcasts, The Low End In General on October 4th, 2007 by RyanI gave the new P-bass a run through its first rehearsal today, after having the nut replaced, getting a new knob and other hardware, and slapping on a fresh set of strings. It sounds great, and it’s already broken in (after 30 years of fairly hard living, it should be past that new-bass awkwardness, ater all) and wowing the folks in the Warner Gear. I’ve decided the thumb rest is going back on, but I’m still on the fence regarding a new finish. There’s some exposed wood, dings, and screw holes that I’d like to cover. Still, it just has that feel to it that I’m kind of loathe to change. I’ll give it a whirl at next week’s show and decide where I want to go from there.
On a totally unrelated sidenote, changing a car battery in a Wal-Mart parking lot just after rush hour sucks, and I wish it on nobody.
Finally, there’s a new podcast up - enjoy.
