moparmagic Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 What's up guys! as near as I can tell.........I haven't posted on this forum in 12 years 😅 I apologize to anyone who dealt with me on here as a 17 year old discovering life and all of its ups and downs. I cant say I remember anyone I talked to on here then, and im sure not many members from then are still around today, but the selfless generosity and love I received from members here has stuck with me. And that's why I return today to say thank you as a slightly more refined 30 year old. I probably haven't touched a guitar since I last posted in 2011 or so, but I've been thinking about hopping back in the saddle recently. However! through it all I held onto my 1983 Cruisebass....the only axe I've kept with me over the years. She's dusty and craves some love so forgive me, but I figured if anyone is still around from those days they'd enjoy knowing she's stuck around with me. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Man Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Nice bass, but damn if those aren't the rustiest strings I have ever seen. I know they are quite a bit more expensive than guitar strings, but not that much more. Give that beauty some love. PM me if you really can't afford strings, I've got a bunch of round wound sets, as I always swap them out for flatwounds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Based upon the thread title, I recommend you grab that CruiseBass, crank up “Hello There” from Cheap Trick at Budokan, and play along HARD. Then get a tetanus shot while you await a string change. Welcome back! Edited May 3, 2023 by Jakeboy Spelling 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the gesture, the kindness around here still seems to be unmatched 😎 im gonna grab a set this weekend, wife will be out of town so im going to do some snooping around the local shops for the first time in a decade and see what speaks to me, will grab some new string then. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_S Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Since you were last here, those chips in the paint have been re-named “relicing” and people now pay more for it. Welcome back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not stalking per se but the old days were different and there were some funny threads in a train wreck sort of way back then.

I am hoping that your headstock is still attached to your Cruisebass. Let's see the whole thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a gear head back then for sure, owned way more clapped out old Mopar's than I'd like to admit haha. Self taught mechanic because of those cars, which led me to receiving a great opportunity to work swing shift at a steel mill as a Mechanical Maintenance Technician. Just gave that career up last fall after nine years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have always wondered if there was any history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
