New fretless bass plans...

So I had a fretless that was long scale, and I didn't get on with it as well as I liked, so I'm doing a short-scale.

I managed to nab this 2002 History KBJ short-scale J bass in candy apple red via Buyee, the site for shopping Japanese auction sites, for a very modest sum.

I'm swapping out all the stock hardware and electronics, and I'll have my local luthier convert the neck to fretless, and give the fretboard edges a rolled feel at the same time.

The pickups are both neck width; I'm replacing them with Delano JC4/HE-M2 dual coil humbuckers.

The stock bridge is being swapped for a Kahler 2440, which lets me get tighter string spacing than standard.

Tuners are being replaced with Hipshot Ultralites plus a new three-string Hipshot string retainer.

Pots are going to be a blend / vol / tone setup, with a CTS 250k blend pot with center detent, and Jim Dunlop 250k Super Pots for volume and tone. Not sure what tone capacitor value I will use, but I might go for something higher rated than usual.

I'm swapping the stock chrome dome knobs for three Sadowsky-style black aluminum knobs with white line indicators.

Restringing it with GHS Balanced Nickels Short Scale - many people at TalkBass recommended these.

I also picked up this really nice Aguilar Octamizer octave pedal, which I can't wait to try out with it.

Yooo you played in the school orchestra? What instrument(s) do you play? :D

i'm not in school anymore (that was years ago) but i went down the piano -> violin -> string bass -> cello pipeline! still have my 19 year old cello (mikey) and my 22 year old violin (sherry). i play them every now and then when i have the time :)

#replies #loki-lock #i just recently bought some new violin books to try and get myself to play more #but working full time really does drain a guy orz #speaking of i need to get sherry fitted for some new pegs #younger me had switched out two of the pegs and now it's mis matched and it keeps slipping #so i gotta call the luthier and see if they can do something about it #i didn't play piano in the school orchestra #and i switched to string bass in 7th grade because the orchestra was only violins and it just sounded not good without lower voices #and then in 12th grade i switched to cello bc all our cellists graduated and we had two bassists come in so i thought why not #i'm already reading bass clef how hard can switching to cello be #tbh once you learn to play one string instrument it's not too difficult to adjust to another one #u just gotta learn to read another clef lmao #ough musical instruments is another thing i could talk about all day if i don't stop myself haha

how’s your *other* brother, lawrence? no one ever talks about him.

-🐢

Lawrence is doing alright, Though he is a bit upset cause he just found out Scott broke his bass.

#jesus Scott is there anything you don’t ruin #but anyways I’m going to with Lawrence one day to get him a new bass and to get Scott his own so he can smash it all he wants #I did say Scott would get it as a Christmas gift but he does not deserve a gift like that for the holidays #scott pilgrim #scott pilgrim takes off #scott pilgrim comic #stacey pilgrim #rp #rp blog #in character

Song of the Day: February 17

“DYWTYLM” by Sleep Token

#song of the day #Sleep Token really saving my sanity as we navigate this dark and uncertain time without an upgraded sibling singalong playlist #had to go out into the snow on under two hours' sleep to get groceries #(the farmers' market gave me kefir cheese so any amount of suffering would've been worthwhile but I couldn't know that at the time)#and getting into Nick's car knowing there was music I could request that he could play loud as he wanted and I wouldn't want to cry #I mean blessing isn't even a strong enough term. baking a cake for the Sleep Token guy (his name is Vessel) as we speak #anyway this song sounds incredible in the original and then so odd sung acapella. like singing a bass line just a couple beats repeating #polar opposite of my lady indie covers. a song rendered fully unrecognizable when I wander the house mumbling it to myself #the verses do alright I suppose but the chorus is out of the question. the lyrics are so strong too real gut-punch lines #'and my reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should / and I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could #and there is something eating me alive I don't know what it is / maybe not that you conceal your feelings they just don't exist'#the whole song is like that it is so so so good. every new Sleep Token song I hear I'm like oh of course yes I see why these are fic titles #(Sleep Token catching up to Fall Out Boy and Hozier in terms of lines I've seen as fic titles. I mean we are really getting up there #and I am definitely not immune. if/when I put up those fanmixes y'all are gonna be seeing some Sleep Token let me tell you)#edit: it stands for 'Do You Wish That You Loved Me' I just realized I never said #didn't even pick lyrics that include it which is nuts when you realize that every verse does twice. whoops

Nisky Trail and Joe’s Trail Bass River State Forest, New Jersey 3.64 miles 23 ft Elevation Gain

The Pine Barrens may be flat, but the scenery never disappoints. Short but super sweaty stroll through Bass River today. Since I spent $5 to get in, I figured I'd also take a quick dip in Lake Absegami at the end.

Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse

And I just about snapped, don't look back

Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand

#everycrow #goes to a fall out boy concert #fob #this concert was my first experience of any of the new album #Got to see it live with pyrotechnics etc #bass in my chest #and i got a sweatshirt that I will wear every day for the rest of my life #its one of the ones with the teddy bear and the every lovers got a little dagger in their hand
