The teenage girls in the house on one side of my house have increased the frequency of their late night parties, and the lady on the other side has rescued 2 more all night barking dogs. I don’t complain, but…

It’s time to upgrade my amp for a louder one. A friend has a Rumble 500 amp head and a Rumble 115 cab for sale, and he said he’d sell them both to me for $450. How can I say no?
I’m selling some items on Reverb to raise the cash, and he said he’d hold it as long as I need.
Once I get it, I’ll sell my Rumble 100.

Hey Pam @PamPurrs,
You will be able to provide the “BASS” for the late night parties :rofl:. :joy:
Cheers Brian

This time even worse than usual - I went to the dark side!

Side note: it’s absolutely insane how small and cheap guitar strings are. I just picked up a set of D’Addario 10’s for $5 and the package is the size of a coaster.

The discrepency in cost of strings always killed me. Then I went to upright bass… it’s easy to spend $150 on a set of strings in that world.
Congrats on the new axe!

Thanks!

but guitar strings need to be replaced way more often than bass strings … I’m pretty sure guitar strings are more expensive over time, if you take this point in consideration !

It was for the chicks wasn’t it? :hatching_chick:

I tried, it doesn’t work. it was so disapointing that I finally switched to the bass to be sure no chick would bother me.

It actually came with two ladies and a crate of booze. Well, “ladies” might be a stretch. Let’s just call them friendly.

Good strings! The ones for bass are in a similar package and sound very good. Seems you are playing with your synth, bass and guitar at the same time too :joy:

I’m eyeballing this mini pre-amp from Aguilar for some time now:

Yep :slight_smile:

And yeah, I’ve used D’Addario EXL Nickel Rounds on every bass I have owned. They are my favorite strings, great feel and sound.

Oh speaking of synths, if anyone is interested, Arturia Pigments 2 is on Black Friday sale for half off right now. Really nice software synth for $99, it was my second favorite I tried (after Phase Plant) and would probably be a better beginner synth if anyone is looking for one.

They also do a $10/month rent-to-own through Splice. Though for $10/month you get a lot more with Phase Plant.

Yeah so nice! I just bought the crossgrade of Pigment for 69 because I own Arturia gear. :slight_smile:
