Forgot the pic earlier. Sapphire crystal. Seiko automatic movement. Waffle dial has a lot of depth in person. Cyclops is big, but I’m older now so I appreciate it.

I had a Panerai Sub for a while. It's not a bad watch, but I agree with 52-80. It's basically multiple variations of the same 2 models. It makes the Porsche 911 design team look radical by comparison. I will say that the ease of strap changes and the huge array of aftermarket straps can let you change things up pretty often. A new strap is always cheaper than a new watch when you get tired of the old look. Regarding green watches with green straps, take a look at the Seiko King Turtle if you don't mind a dive watch.

How much are you (or the parents) looking to spend? Sweetwater has this demo. I bet they will drop it down a bit more. Capri Orange may not be the best Strat color, but the HSS configuration is always great. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratPHSSPCO--fender-player-series-stratocaster-hss-capri-orange?cond=StratPHSSPCOd1

This is well built and will cover a lot of tonal ground. Very underpriced for what you get. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BB435BL--yamaha-bb435-5-string-black

I am a 4 string guy, so no personal experience. The guys over at Talkbass really like the SUB series (especially for the value you get). I think the string spacing on the 5 is possibly a bit tight at the nut, but as a guitar guy, that probably won't matter as much for you.

Honey, this is NOT a guitar. This is a bass. It's totally different.

It actually sounds really good. Passive pickups with two volume knobs and the master tone is a push pull to split the coils. I am still playing around with different combinations. Neck at 10 with the tone rolled back sounds great as does splitting the coils and running both PUPS and the tone pushed up a bit. It can be "P-ish" but isn't 100% there and sorta Jazz with the split coils, but really it has it's own thing going. The neck is thin and fast, which I guess should be expected from an 80's product. It is super lightweight and balances unexpectedly well. The biggest issue is the headless aspect. I keep going to the 2nd fret expecting it to be the 1st fret because my visual references are off. I bought it on a whim and expected it to be a toy, but I actually really like it.

This was the before pic. May not have been cleaned since 1985. The case is super tiny.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I got really bored during quarantine and decided to pick up a project. Rescued this guy and have spent some time getting it back to it’s 80’s greatness. I’m starting a Jem and the Holograms cover band if anyone is interested.- The Guitar Pron Thread
If I contract and survive Covid, I have already decided that I am going to get a Corona survival bass.- Truck Nuts
That was exactly me. I was selling my Honda Prelude because the car seat would not fit well in the back (miss that car....) I loved the FJ, but dealing with the half door and fitting a kid in a rear facing seat just felt like too much of a pain. Ended up with a V8 4Runner instead.- The Guitar Pron Thread

Seagull offers a Slim S6 version. Drops the width a bit. The string spacing is actually the same, but the width is taken out at the edges. My vote is a Yamaha FG/FSX series and spend the rest on a great set up. A concert size would be my pick for comfortable porch strumming. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FGX800C--yamaha-fgx800c-dreadnought-cutaway-natural https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FSX820C--yamaha-fsx820c-concert-cutaway-natural An iPad and Fender Play App is a really user friendly way to go. If you are in DFW, I have a Seagull S6 that I could cut you a Surly deal on.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Unless you are in a RHCP cover band or play a ton of slap or metal, a P bass with flats should really cover most if not all your bass tone. Steve Harris uses them, so I guess they actually can cover metal pretty well too.... DougO is correct that going back and forth can be a huge pain due to the higher string tension of flats. So, in the spirit of this thread, yes you need 2 and please post pics of our new bass when it arrives. Are you playing with flats now? What (if anything) do you think is missing?- The Drums Pron Thread
Not sure about Youtube, but Drumeo is a solid online course. Fee based, but good. And those drums look great!- Adios Aunt Jemima

Young kids napping while you are running? How young? In that situation, I would just bring a phone and carry it in a flip belt. I use one and can't even feel the phone. No bounce at all. https://flipbelt.com/flipbelt- Running / Triathlon Thread
I have a Fenix that I love, but it is a bit more expensive. I don't think the F45 has an altimeter, so that would leave the Vivoactive. I hate the short battery life of the Apple watch vs Garmin, so I ruled them out early. They are running some Father's day sales right now, so you can save a bit right now on some of the Garmin products.- Best drumming on a song, ever
