  1. I have Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass, where he showcases the 350 basses in his collection. His favorite basses are the ones who have the finish worn down on the body, and the frets slightly worn, because those types of basses have been used in bars and other gigs, and each one of those basses has a story unique to that instrument. I only have 2 basses, and my 5 string has a very special story to it. It was originally owned by a good friend of mine. Knew Steve for about 17 years before he passed away of a heart attack at 50. Steve's sister gave all of his basses to the top local bassist in Buffalo, Jim Wynne who was best friends with Steve. Jim is also my bass instructor. So one day Jim asked me if I ever considered playing a 5 string. I said I would definitely consider it, and in next weeks lesson Jim had Steve's 5 string all ready for me to take home. Jim has Steve's Rickenbacker 4001, but to this day Jim's Rickenbacker and my 5 string are still considered to be "Steve's bass".
  2. Very, very cool! Sad to hear that the blonde ripper was destroyed in the hurricane. I'd like to start collecting basses. The only "vintage" bass I would buy would be a 1963 Fender Jazz in Lake Placid Blue. Otherwise, I would go with more exotic basses like a Gus Bass, carbon fibre construction.
  3. I wasn't familiar with Freebo, but after a quick search, was very impressed that he's one of those studio musicians that everyone works with, because he's that good! Also touring with Bonnie Raitt is a great thing as well.
  4. Danny Elfman is supremely talented
  5. We have been rehearsing Dead Mans Party. It's a distinct possibility for this Saturday. It's just a really hard song. One of our band motto's is "F**k Danny Elfman".
  6. I usually go right up to my wife. That's the only lady I want to love my waving bass

  9. What I took away is the final paragraph. Spot on. The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. As the Bills head off into their bye week, rest assured this painful loss will be felt across the organization and it will undoubtedly stoke the fire for a postseason run.
  10. Wasn't Hart signed by Tennessee? I saw it on TBD
  11. There's also this
  12. Actually, I have a plan. Remember, I'm a huge Rush fan and there's a number just north of 2000 that holds significance.
  13. Don't be so sure. Remember, we're One Buffalo
  14. WDYWUTD? TIH
  15. If I have to
  16. Would you be bestowing us any wisdom nuggets for your 105,000th post? Inquiring minds want to know.
  17. But who's gonna clean the seagull poop?
  18. I wasn't wearing my Bills beads I caught on Bourbon Street in January of 2020 until the 2nd quarter, thus the slow start.
  19. The ESPN announcers tonight graduated from the Chris Collingsworth School of Sh**ty Announcing
  20. Now I've come down off the bridge, The offense still put up 31 points. The defense had a sub-par game. But with our schedule the next few weeks we're in good shape.
