Love the colour @terb,
When can we expect a cover from it
Cheers Brian

in fact @TNKA36 I’ve already recorded two covers with this bass before I painted it red !

and

… but there will be more, for sure ! I just have to find some songs playeable in BEAD !

I’ve found most Drop D ones to work pretty well

terb · September 11, 2020, 4:55am

yeah but when I play in Drop D (which is … always) I just play with Greenie but I have a few serious ideas for BEAD covers … mostly sludge I must say

howard · September 11, 2020, 5:08am

Oh it will be very good for that

here’s some inspiration

TNKA36 · September 12, 2020, 9:36pm

Hey @terb,
Watched both covers with the Harley, nice tone
Loved the zz top, look with the sports jacket and shades😎
Under the pine is very grunge, it look like the scratch plate reflecting in the sun has been hand painted?
I think the new colour is nicer than the old one👍
Good choice.
Cheers Brian

doom/sludge actually

no, it’s just a black plastic plate but it’s not in great shape !

terb · September 13, 2020, 5:46pm

trying to solve my label/faceplate problem with the GK preamp. this is made with a special glossy paper for printing stickers with an injet printer. looks not bad actually !

howard · September 13, 2020, 5:54pm

Looks great! Love the name too.

terb · September 13, 2020, 5:56pm

that’s the name given by Music Dings I chose to keep that and just added a little “400RB” label just after “Growling Krizzly”, to remember what this thing exactly is over the years

Jamietashi · September 13, 2020, 6:18pm

@terb that looks so neat, look fwd to seeing it develop

Before/After :

joergkutter · September 14, 2020, 6:01pm

Wow, nice - that sofa looks brand new

No, seriously, very impressive! And, I am sure, she plays well also!!

terb · September 14, 2020, 6:05pm

the setup is not perfect at all yet, but yeah, at least it’s playeable

TNKA36 · September 14, 2020, 10:08pm

Very nice @terb
Cheers Brian

Mac · September 15, 2020, 2:30am
