Thanks, man. From what I’ve read, Cutlass basses ranged from 8.5 to 9 lbs.

I was under the impression they were a lot heavier.

^^^This.

The first Cutlass was, essentially, a StingRay, of sorts. They came out in the 80s.

I just posted @MikeC’s Cutlass on the “Only One Bass” thread as my choice…

My new to me Squire Classic Vibe 70’s. Took this picture right before I took it for a set up and gave it a good cleaning. It is the bass I am beginning my journey on and even though I have nothing to compare it to, It already sounds 100% better after the setup. I just love it.

I’m texting with the seller in NZ. He’s at the shipping place, sending the Cutlass off.

I had never asked him how/where he got an American bass. He said he bought it in NZ, but they’re extremely rare there. Go figure. :laughing:

Thanks!! It is the Rumble 100. Found a great deal on a used one by feverishly checking the market places online. I can’t believe how lightweight it is. My wife enjoys that it has a headphone jack :slight_smile:

Yea they are surprisingly light. I think the 100W comes with a 1x12 which sounds nice and full!

My late wife was Filipina. I’ve had Vegemite once. Not too bad. But when she broke out the Kamayan Ginisang Bagoong or dried, salted squid, it made my gag reflex kick in so hard I almost passed out.

I know the feeling. I experienced that just reading the description. :nauseated_face:

I love uni, it’s seriously wonderful, but the first time I tried it I was unprepared and almost hurled.

Holy Mother of God! I had never heard of uni. Now, I wish I still hadn’t.

Though typically called sea urchin roe , uni is actually the sex organ that produces roe, sometimes referred to as the gonads or corals. Five strips or “tongues” of uni live within the structure of an urchin. They are usually orange or yellowish, and do resemble tongues, with the consistency of a firm custard.

It is utterly fantastic, but has a very strong flavor and a weird texture.

All I know is that the first person that discovered it must have been one hungry motherfucker. Who looks at a Sea Urchin and thinks ‘mmm! i’m gonna eat that so hard.’

I’ll have to trust you on the taste, man. No way in hell I’ll ever be that hungry. :joy:

They are quite exquisite creamy-ish, briny and with the texture of a ripe mango. Great with many style of cooking as well as raw.
