THAT get's my "Troll Post of the Day Award"

What kind of playing you do?

A P-bass is a Fender Precision bass, not just any ole fretted bass

Try Fender flatwounds or Ernie Ball Slinky, set the height as low as you can get without that fret buzz you mentioned

Dude could play a garden hose and sound great, sure hope he's ok, falls at our age can be tough

drop one zero and send it to Wade to make a 180 f out of it.

I didn't know this was possible. Is the result better than the 183?

sorry I said anything

Ignoring everything above, which is filler:
If you play instruments built in different lengths regularly in your practice, you're eventually not going to have problems reading music and playing them.

Yeah, I think so too. But time keeps on ticking...

Let that ticking be your metronome ...

the ferrules for the bottom bow would be offset ? Not in line with each other ?

whats going on with that ferrule alignment between the two large bows? How did that happen?

Guess we all missed World Tuna Day. (If you know, you know.)

sell the trumpet and get the new horn

Heartwarming

First new horn I bought in 1983 was a BBflat 184, sn 12453 (funny how I still remember that.) Great horn and for me was the ultimate quintet horn...I wonder what life would be like today if I hadn't gone off on Tubenet-fueled equipment infatuation nonsense, and eventually "switched to CC" in 1998 ...

Wade:
Your 186.

I haven't bought a new etude book in years. I like etudes. But I keep repeating the same ones over and over. My current stack is:

Bordogni (and also Rochut I and II)
Blazevich
Kopprasch
Snedecore
Vasilev
Shoemaker
Seiber
Tyrell
Verne Reynolds (horn)
Arban

I know there is a newer Snedecore ...

I just read one that is absolutely hilarious, even the disclaimer cracked me up
