If he only has one contact, that would explain a lot..

Morning gents. Thought of the day: bobby ryan is a candidate for worst contact in the league IMO.
- clark_griswold

I thought that was Phaneuf and Kessel?

Semin? Clarkson? No honourable mentions?
- PhilMcCracken

kessel has a higher hockey 'drive' than Ryan, that says a lot!

Traded in my bass last night.

Ended up getting a vintage 1986 Ibanez Roadstar II.

Active pickups, 5-string. In the '80's that was almost unheard of. Only savants would brave those depths.

It's got so much character, I (frank)ing love it

My best friend's dog walker's cousin has a guy on his darts team whose wife is a real estate agent - she's showing Mrs. Babcock condos in downtown Toronto this afternoon.

Man, they actually sound incredible.

I didn't realize how harsh my run-of-the-mill Brain picks were until I switched to these things

What was the name of that crazy kinda bass that was all the rage for about 5 years in the 80s - basically looked like an anorexic base - you couldn't see the tuning pegs?

What was up with that thing?

Steinberger?
- TheMussel

Yes!



What was the deal on that thing?

Other than looks, was it any different than a regular base?

It seemed like all the cool "serious" bassists had them for a little bit, and then I never saw them any more.

I think the schtick is portability. No headstock and short small body = easier to carry around than an ordinary bass without reduction in scale length.

thats more common than just the one bass.. headless basses were all over the place in the 80s and 90s.. still are today

the shape may change the resonance of the body and thus the tone.. but ultimately.. unless you really dig into the specifics of the design.. no.. not really
