    Thanks for the heads up on the TB classified add. The keys would be an improvement over the y-style that's currently on it, but the bodies are the same. The 80's F logo body is wider and longer, which would cover up the holes from the two different sets previously installed. The Hipshots that...

    This Longhorn, known as the Boner Bass, actually came with the non-deluxe tuners, now that you mention it. The main thing for me is finding the proper tuner body, either one of key styles would be okay. But the deluxe would be the ultimate. I put a set of Y-style Schaller's on it that fit...

    I have a 1980's era Fender Longhorn Jazz bass that someone replaced the Fender logo sculpted paddles with a set of Hipshots, that don't fit properly. I've looked in vain to find a vintage set of originals, just looked again and still no luck. The Guyker's are a close looking match but have...

    Him and two girls with him walked away, no hospital visit required. Surprising as bad as the car looks.

    Well, the drummer canceled rehearsal tonight again and the guitarist can't do tomorrow. I'm thinking about changing the name from Top Secret Overdrive to The Unreliables! Does anyone else have the drummer problem? I ask others that question and they say, "No he's a pretty good drummer...... but...

    Yeah, him and his two girlfriends were fine, he was a lady killer and that car helped. He ended with a cherry 70's Camaro Z28 but later got rid of it because it didn't have AC. Oops, the dummy didn't realize it could have been retrofitted.

    That's just downright unreasonable and abuse of power. 1/64'' is the hair on a nat's .......

    Speaking of brakes. My stepbrother's drum brakes didn't work soon enough as he plowed his 69' Camaro SS into a herd of black angus, but I don't think he saw them until it was too late, it was at night. The headlights probably weren't that great back then either.

    Our city inspector was called 3/4'' Glem Kadiddlehopper, ''3/4's of an inch is 3/4's of an inch''. Made some of my journeymen move an already wired 42 space panel over 3/4''. There is a 30'' width x 36'' in front of extending up 6 1/2' minimum clearance required for an electrical panel. He was a...

    It's usually a fatal mistake when I mention I'm an electrician. I see people's eyes light up and oh no here it comes, hey could you.....? There's nothing worse than coming in after Minimum Joe Schmo has been there and having to crawl through a crawl space or attic because he only did what was...

    My first car was a 1973 Volvo 164E I sold it to fund a 1980 BMW 320i. I wish I still had both of them. I would have chopped the top on the 164E and dropped a V8 into the 320i. The Volvo had to hottest heater of any car I've owned. I figure was less likely to get pulled over, with the wildwood...

    That's funning because that's the only song I have an access issue with. I love playing and singing that song.
