i blame Jerry

I had nothing to do with this. Well, I can blame Greg too (for the head). But the bass is all Jerry's fault. I swear.

Thumbs up

Nice Todd! The GB head looks cool lit up.

Something so classic about a P bass leaning on an amp.

You really should take ownership of your compulsive gear buying issues though. Jerry might get your GAS started and Greg might facilitate the purchases but you still have to provide the credit/debit card numbers!

Why don't you travel on over to Georgia in April and we'll all help Council you in the area of gear acquisition. We really care and that's what friends are for.

Anyone have a good solution for getting the sticky backing off the pickguard? Fender really wants that thing to stay on. Will Goo-Gone or something not mess up the tort?

8.2 lbs for the bass. Sounds like a big fat p-bass. Quick truss rod tweak and the action is close to the Roscoe. I don't really blame Jerry so much as I blame him. Consensually.

I usually just gently run a thumbnail across the film to raise it in one spot, then start peelin'. It sometimes helps to take the knobs off first, otherwise you can end up with plastic scraps sticking out from under your knobs.

I wasn't asking about your skincare procedures. That was far TMI...

Note that the word "lotion" in my previous post is a link.

I think Gard should call Al Gore for his technology issues, after all he did invent the internet
