Still Here—- busy last six months or so. Ummmm

Thanks for posting, Volker. Looks like a great day!!

I knew you or LKTRAZ would correct me! I’m out of scrapple at the moment. ;)

Looking forward to the lime kiln. A friend of mine in Pennsylvania lived near Limekiln Pike. PA Rt. 352 I think???

Get those kids off my lawn…”Mission Control”??! I’ve heard “Major Tom”, and it scared me!! Now, LT. Uhuru??? ;) I’m glad she was a big part of my youth and adolescent times. A great role model for girls everywhere. And let’s not forget Clint Howard - Both Mission Control (Apollo 13) AND Star...

Drool….. Mmmmmmmm…. Doughnuts…..drool….tell us more!!

Wow!! I think that’s cool! Needs a tort pick guard. You’re Welcome ;) Finally back to playing some bass today. Orange Crush on offer. Yesssssssss!

Aahhhh. Vermont style Mutton curry.. Alex makes a great curry. ;)

Checking in. Camping last weekend- good time- tomorrow Boyz go to D-Backs Baseball Camp at Chase Field in PHX. We are heading down today. “Celebrity” baseball coach for the kids will be Josh Rojas. Very cool- he grew up in area and now plays ball for the hometown team! Not much playing this...

The Curious Lemon. Painted desert will be next.

They are SO LUCKY I saw your post on El Enojada late at night…. I ordered the Watt Sauce, the Raven (cherries and chipotle), and the Kurious Lemon (Meyer lemon and habanero). I sent the three to the “buddy” who sent me the TWO “coffins” of Blair’s Ultra Death…(see above in the thread!…) I...

Ummm- I’m ordering some :).

Our suburban/still had a bridle path and some wooded areas neighborhood played “Kick the Can” sort of like a capture game with elements of hide and seek. Love Aussie Football when I can watch it. College chums did a stint “Down Under” at Perth University, so are more knowledgeable than I ...

Sadly, yes, heavy and expensive on that AD200B… if the tube preamp/class D output are on offer, cheap and light would be the Terror Bass. 500W, effects loop, DI out under 11 lbs. ( <5 kg) under 900 Spacebucks US. Mmmmm. Terror Bass – Orange Amps Just playing my new Crush 50 combo today...

No one has mentioned Orange yet??? Tsk tsk tsk… Natural aesthetic with a Marshall powered trio.

Can’t wait to see the gold and silver bling a bling!!!. Go gold with tuners and bridge if you wish.. Consider black nylon tape wound strings. Picks out a maple fretboard great!! (See avatar…) Rotosound 88 have chime and girth. Weirdly awesome. Killer deal!!!! :)

I’m gassing to try a Höfner Club bass- Beatle bass w/ergonomics! Chillin on the Rez… Again- club Bass- Tina Weymouth has one.

That’s the 50W Crush Bass. It gets VERY loud. I haven’t had it wide open yet! I had a couple of those. Best one was in Tokyo at age 9. Needed a filling - the dentist had his pinch-faced assistant nurse kneel on my chest while he drilled. Very “Marathon Man” I recall. I wonder about my...

@Luftkopf. Keep riding the bike…save on petrol. Trade in the 25 for the 50. Throw your DarkGlass into the effects loop. Never look back…

Not a “like” like :( Thanks!! Triple digits down “the Valley” as we venture down to PHX for long weekend. Plan lots of time poolside with a nice read and cold drinks. Adult drinks. Lion King at ASU (Arizona State University) on Tuesday. New “Minions” movie planned Sunday. Yay- Real Chicago hot...

Enter the interesting, but little known S-50 plant… S-50 Liquid Thermal Diffusion Plant (U.S. National Park Service)

You are correct, Sir- the K-25 gaseous diffusion (of UF6- toxic, corrosive uranium hexafluoride) plant’s control room. At five stories, and some incredible floor space made it one of the largest buildings in the world when built. Technicians rode bicycles around to check the equipment...

Good Guess!! Univac was constructed at University of Pennsylvania, and was prre-dated by Alan Turing’s Colossus at Bletchley Park in England. One of Univacs inventors was Jonathan Edwards’ (Sunshine go away today… one hit wonder 1972-3) dad! Incorrect, however. Glad to hear it- StringJoys...

Lots of movie nights, popcorn done on stovetop, and grilling. Cake and ice cream last night for Karen’s (???)th birthday. We’ve been isolating since Thursday. Just like old times!! Ha ha. Glad we had a couple “mega” Lego kits for the kids to keep ‘em busy!! Max quite the tailor now- winds his...

Hear hear-rain is good. A LOT of rain??? Ummm. Glad to hear on the mend. I had a “close contact” Thursday last, got tested - told I was “positive and have the COVID virus”. I went home, took the powerful antiretroviral “paxlovid” for five days. I home tested on Monday. Negative. The meds made...

^^^and the Salton Sea will become a wellspring once again!! Really. Lol

Still here— checking in!!

JMJ All the Way! (Credit the Sante Fe Railroad)

Too Bad- that looks GREAT!!!

Nice Score!! You are IN!!! I have been playing mine with my new Orange Crush bass 50. I finally swapped out the pickups, and I like these “Fat Pole” Korean Artecs quite a lot!! I figure same line where the “Duncan Designed” stock pickups came from! I found the P/J set at guitar Madness...

Cooking with Kitty…

Oh- I almost never “dime” my volume on any of my basses- usually 50-75% gets nice none- a bit more for some “hair” on it…

Playing the Orange. A Lot.

So I’ve been really playing this Orange Crush Bass 50; I’ve been using three different basses. Lol. I’m impressed- the Jazz sounds divine, the Jag bass with the P-pickup sounds awesome. Even the 68 Telebass with the DiMarzio humbucker sounds good! Finding the sweet-spot with the “Gain” and...

So very very behind…hope all are well! Congrats to 25years and dinner! I can’t even think of the last time my wife and I had a dinner alone together; out at a real restaurant. Oh well. The Boyz keep me young; I’ll post some pics from the Valley this weekend- (that’s Phoenix and it’s sprawling...

Yes.

Agreed! Good Luck, DT, prayin’ for rain. We had quite a few fires in Arizona last spring/summer- pretty much killed our camping plans. Be safe- Oh Yeah! When does the hot water heater die??? When you are re-locating across the country and are putting it on the market! Grrr! Lol- well- it was...

Actually, our bandleader (who has the PA and board) has used a mic on the amp >board> PA on occasion. Or, takes a DI with NO amp (tight situations- I used a Behringer BDI. That sounds great as a preamp/DI and goes for about 30 Spacebucks. Latest DI I grabbed was the Dapper Bass by Valeton...

THIS ^^^ My first two bass pedals were a Boss CS-3 compressor and the boss bass chorus. I still have them today! Comp first (GENTLE…a little goes a longggg way!) then add chorus to fatten up! Yay!!
