Quote from: briant on May 18, 2026, 10:38:59 AMWe did a bike show yesterday afternoon and the weather cooperated.  The light was being kind to my shop night special bass.  It sounds so good for doing the classic rock thing, which is primarily what that band does.

If I had an endless pile of cash, I'd order a few other variants of this bass.  I never would have taken the risk of a single pickup volume/filter configuration like this but damn, if it doesn't just sound amazing.
Yeah that's a cool bass. I had a similar idea a few years ago for a single pickup bass but built around the Rogue shape with an all-ash body. I always thought it would work out great with just a Volume/Filter and a big ol' AXY Fatboy pickup. If any other controls, a Q-switch, and the bass and treble boost/flat/cut switches. There's a lot to be said about doing more with less too... just plug-n-play.

Looks like a good time there.  :)

i'm playing a gig in a couple of weeks in an acoustic Grateful Dead duo.  We're both of a similar age.  We're calling ourselves "More Then a Touch of Grey".   

Hey Jazzy, good thing you are no longer in "Musical Youth"!

hehehehe
