And how much does that Dean standup electric go for, anyway?

I use Rotosound 88s to get a woody sound out of it. I hear there is a La Bella set that also works well.

I think I paid $660 for it on sale. The current sale price at Musician's Friend is $729.

Is the body of the Dean standup bass an actual resonant chamber, or just a solid block?

If memory serves, Rotosound 88's have a fairly "loose" sort of tone, kind of a rattly intonation. I'm wondering how different the sound is between the standup and my standard bass using the same strings.

No chamber. It's a stick with strings.

I don't know what you would get from the 88s on a standard bass. This thing is fretless and has the piezo pickups instead of the standard magnetic jobs.

Today's the big day!

Our drummer bailed on us YESTERDAY, the day before the fucking gig, but we've found a last-minute replacement, so it's still on. We're meeting at seven to practice for a few hours, then the drummer has to work at the food fair, then we go on at 2.40ish.

Oh man its gonna be sweet.

Break a leg, Ib. Don't forget to flip some picks out into the audience, and make sure you've got a sock tucked down in your jeans for that "enhanced" profile.

Rock on, dude.

Ibby	10-27-2006 04:25 PM

Psh, I dont play with a pick, and I dont NEED the sock.

Well, damn, man...you've got to have *some* rock star affectation. Do you have time to get hooked on heroin, or at least get ten or twelve really rad tats?

How's a totally ridiculous pink jacket and a Roseworthy voice?

HOLY FUCKING FUCK I LOVE YOUR SIG!

Tear it up Ib!

We rocked. The singing was terrible, but I was singing so nobody expected better. We couldnt really hear eachother, we were playing outside, but we were all together and playing the right chords. I even nailed the solo from Kids Arent Alright.

My latest acquisition -- an Eminence electric upright. A doghouse without having to carry around the whole house.

It is hollow. It's essentially an undersized plywood bass.
