Good grief I hope they miss me.
This forum costs me enough already.

I got my eye on a Squire Classic Vibe '70s P-Bass in black. We’ll see…

Nice! I also have a Squier VM 70s Jazz, and it’s pretty great bang for the buck.

Gearing up for #50-songs-challenge I just (week and a half ago) got in a Zoom B3; the older one with DAI and a DI onboard. Also a Tech21 SansAmp Bass DI V1, and a Roland GoMixer Pro. All on fleabay, and each way below retail. The Zoom seller said it had a mashed in power switch so I talked him down. I mean if I have to open it up and replace parts I ain’t payin’ full price, right? BUT the switch is in perfect working order!! Score!!
I should be set for a while. Although I’ve been seriously stalking the Sire basses. I’m gravitating towards the V line rather than the Ps. I have two P clones (rather cheap ones), so a J Bass might be in order.
I love the tonal variations one can get with the pre amp Marcus Miller spec’d. And I also love asymetrical bodies. Does anyone have firsthand knowledge?
Maybe a Fender Rumble Studio 40 somewhere in the future too. Maybe when my industry gets up and running.

You already have effects and amp sims in the Zoom; skip the Studio 40 and go with a Rumble 100, maybe? No need to have those on the amp.

NBD (again - LoL)!!! I’ve been wanting a short scale and finally pulled the trigger on a Fender Mustang. Was looking at multiple brands but finally decided to keep it in the Fender family since I am “all-in” with them already.
I’ve got some tinkering to do to figure out the tones, plus install flat-wounds which are on the Fed-Ex truck as we speak, but I played a few riffs, and Another Brick in the Wall from our #50-songs-challenge and she sounds good.
Hope everyone is safe and well and has a great weekend!
PS - Doesn’t she look “little” compared to her “big sisters” while on the stand?

Me too @PamPurrs and @JerryP. I usually very quickly dispatch of “junk mail” but in my case it is sitting on my desk in plain sight and just don’t have the heart to trash it. Or, is it that I don’t have the willpower? LoL

Me too, @JDDaniel . . . 
That’s a nice-looking Mustang, and wish you lots of happy playing!

I get that with power tools. A lathe is next in my sights.

Wood turning or metal work lathe?
I have a small wood turning lathe it is a very rewarding tool to use. Particularly near the end when you put the wax or oil on the piece and the wood grain patterns just light up and pop out. On a similar theme I also enjoy carving my own kayak and canoe paddles.
Unfortunately my shed is so full of gear I don’t have room to use the lathe at present. I bought myself a mitre saw at the weekend cause it was cheaper to buy the tool and the timber than the selection of planters my wife had picked out for the patio…

A metal lathe. I’m using kitchen cabinet knobs as an excuse.

What kind?
The company I last worked for used to be a huge name in Lathe’s.
Ironically, they no longer make lathes and are now one of the top builders of High Speed, High performance and / or High Accuracy CNC milling machining centers in the world.
