Wow that’s so cool! So you cut the neck/body wood and everything yourself? On the bass, not the dog, of course.
And yeah I think I see the resemblance of the headstock to another brand… 
Keep us in the loop about new bass tech, very intriguing!

That was a cool video. He has his thumb planted on the E the whole time.

Never noticed - was just enthralled by the pitch shifting pedal he was using.

He does move to the pickup cover sometimes. But also since he’s using an octave pedal, he’s not using his E string as much as he normally might.

This beautiful gal doesn’t have a name yet, but I got her about a month and a half ago, and I love her so. 
(Please excuse the cheesy FB frame decoration, lol)

t-rex arms! so funny. I also have a short scale because I simply cannot reach anything on a regular scale bass.

My main bass is a Fender Jazz Bass, just love it. I also have a Hofner violin bass it’s short scale and has that early Beatles sound.

I have a standard Jazz, and I’m about to pull the trigger on a fretless P. I can work them, but it’s so much easier with a short scale. On the regulars scale, I don’t have the reach, so I’m practicing sliding.

Pretty! I like those basses a lot.
Classics! I’d love to add a Hoftner-style bass to my repertoire, if only to amuse myself at home playing along with Paul.

This brings up a great subject - not sure if it fits here or not… but: naming the bass? Anyone out there a bass namer? I never have been. I usually call them “The Modulus” or “The P-Bass” - feels like a name, but it’s not an extra naming process. I’ve always been curious how people go about giving their instruments names.

New bass day! I go back to Iowa frequently to see Mom and do stuff for her around the house. I thought it would be nice to have a bass around, so I went to GC and picked up a Bronco and a Fender Rumble 25, and the ancillary gear that goes along with it.
I asked Mom for a corner to store it. She said the bass was so pretty I could leave it in the living room as art. Lol! I played the Billie Jean groove I painstakingly learned. She was impressed. I can also do a passable intro to Smoke on the Water.
The tinkerer in me won’t be satisifed, so when I come back next month, I’ll have new strings and a better bridge. I’ll bring my setup tools too.
That’s right. Mom still has shag carpet in the breezeway!

Yeah, the carpet is clearly the main subject in this photo. 
Let us know how you like the Bronco! I haven’t played one for years, I remember being kinda meh about it.

I don’t know if it will be meh, or not. But it will serve it’s purpose and give me something to do while I’m visiting Mom.

For sure. Didn’t mean to diss your new bass, hope you love it.

I know you didn’t. It’s all good. I’m such a noob still, that any bass is cool as heck. It will probably stay that way, too.
