Aww c'mon Donny. I'm trying to get us to part 49 by tonight.

Does Spector make your pedal board?

But since we're talking about boards....what pedals are you starting with?

When I got that I didn't feel it was any worse than the 5LX which I was used to, but now having played the Webster, it does feel big. I just save all the fast intricate playing for the Webster.

Nah. My guts the way they are, I can only enjoy a couple of fingers of good stuff every once i a while and there are small batch bourbons that will put Maker's to shame. Makers and Knob and Woodford are all very good, don't misunderstand me. It's just that when you only get to have a little every so often, you get much, much, much pickier.

I like Blantons small batch better anyway!

My friend just got married to a woman originally from St. Croix and she introduced us to rum. I had honestly never had it before (except in a long island iced tea, and let's face it - that's not the drink for a connoisseur of fine beverages) and there are about ads many specialized, unique, single barrel rums as there are bourbons, vodkas, scotches, etc.

Which makes me think that with some Windex, other random crap under the kitchen sink and a little Scope, my computer and some nice labels and bottles - I could be in business! Yes, it would be the business of sending people to the hospital, but it would be a business.

Leaving tomorrow dude. All packed up, labeled and in the car.

There is definitely a lot to be said for the "homemade" NS-4.

9v circuits are delayed once again. We are backordered for our production. We hope it will resolve very soon, but we have no definitive answer.

Got this from Jo Ann today in case anyone wanted a 9v status update.

So, after playing my J-bass steadily for 3 weeks, I've gone back to my Spector.
There's a tension & tonal difference between the 2. My J has 45-132 D'addario Chromes, and my Rebop is wearing 45-125 DR Black Beauties. Both are 5 strings with passive pickups and an active EQ. The Spector sounds slightly brighter, and is MUCH louder, with more growl.

Has anyone ever put flats on a Rebop? Do they sound good?

I imagine a rebop with flats would be a perfect match. Ice, have you done that on yours?

May I ask what do you mean by "once again"?I paid for one 10 weeks ago. Did they become available I didn't know about it. They haven't responded to my emails in about 6 weeks.

Yep. And my bass is sitting there waiting for a circuit as well. So we're all in the same boat.

Haz Labs was without for over a week. So all things considered, that's good news. They didn't take any damage or flood.
