Have a link to “slimmer fingers”?

I googled it but I forgot to cut on safe search so…

I think I should probably get a bass now, no?

We all knew this would be a "yes", didn't we?

Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass Daphne Blue - Pix of actual guitar sent from Sweetwater. Never found those smaller fingers, so didn't make much progress with the pink guitar yet, but my son got it a few months ago and was noodling around. Well... turns out Fender is doing a promo where you get a "free" Squier starter kit + a year of Fender Play (lessons/app.)

Should be here in a few days, but going to hold off until Satanmas, as this may be "my gift" from the fam. We shall see.

Probably need a bass amp (that cost more than this much-more-budget-friendly-than-a-PRS-guitar bass).

This thing is going to hold SOOOO many clothes.

Sexy!

Nice!!!  Get a Fender Rumble.  The practice 50 is on sale for Black Friday.

I'll keep it in Mind; Fender is doing 12 Days of Deals right now, so I'm keeping an eye out for that too. I was seeing something about this Boss Katana 110 that has a bunch of effects and whatnot that seems interesting. I have a Line 6 for the guitar that's a modeling amp, and it's definitely cool to play with.

Just get a Line 6 Helix and Powercab and be done with it. 

[MexicanDragon]

Mmmmmm, blue Helix

I'll see your bass, Brent, and raise you.   Taking my old bass to use for practice in Durango (so my "band" members don't hate me).  This ones a beauty.  

G&L Fullerton Fallout (short scale)

Nice! Orange? Gold? Green? (Fucking colorblindness)

[shellylh]

By the way, if anyone has ever flown with a bass or guitar, please let me know how it was.  I really don't want to ship it but also don't want to get to Denver and find out I can't take it on my connecting flight (I have elite status so I can get on early).

I've heard too many horror stories: Don't let them check your bass!  Also, Steinberger make a nice headless and bodyless bass.  I have one.  It was very popular in the late 80's?  Geddy Lee played one for a short while.  There are multiple threads like this on TalkBass:

Just buy it a seat

Alternatively, check the dimensions of your case and check that against the airline's policy and the plane's above-head holding dimensions to see if it will technically fit. I've flown with a trombone that didn't fit up top before (Xavier's when we moved out,) but the FA was able to put it with some of their vertical storage up front and it was fine.

[shellylh]

OK, maybe shipping makes more sense.

^^This. We used a Gator case with a TSA approved lock for Peter’s electric guitar when we flew out to Colorado to take him to Colorado State. Worked like a charm as long as they do not lose your checked luggage.  

[Grahame]

^ hide an AirTag in the case?

[shellylh]

Ordered one of these cases.  Plan to put it in the overhead bin or in one of the plane’s “closets.”  I think it should be ok based on what I’ve read (and I boarding group 1).

@Dusty Chalk - Thought you may like this one.

Saw it on Trogly which just went up a few minutes ago. They had another one that already sold, but you may enjoy it anyways in the video.

The second one is for your hands, and the first one is for normal people?

[MexicanDragon]

 

@Dusty Chalk - Figured you may dig this purple Les Paul R9.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yes, but...REGAL EGGPLANT

That said, I'm downsizing -- I will be selling 90% of my guitars.

I even found a purple PRS Hollowbody that I forgot (!) I had.  WTF is wrong with me?  Don't answer that.

Or ... I don't even know what this colour is (looks "mauve" to me), but I like it:

[MexicanDragon]

Heh.

 Sucks about downsizing, because stuff is great, but I’m pretty happy with my Bonnie Pink PRS and Daphne Blue Jazz Bass. But I also want a crazy relic’d masterbuilt and/or Murphy shop something.

This is a my new classical guitar made by local luthier Trevor Gore. The guitar has a most of Trevors innovations incorporated, this weekend I’ll get to meet Trevor and collect my new baby.

Gorgeous, congrats! 

[Dusty Chalk]

Noice.

[Torpedo]

Very nice. That baby deserves a video, or at least an audio track, of you playing it.
