Ok, I took the weekend off. Totally lost at this point, but here are my irrelevant comments.
Been there so often, i ended on the Face Down Bar Top
I'm really have to get back to you on that, I would have expected a better ride, monkey girl. Specially after you got into the cubbie hof.
I'd write more, but I have other buns to bake in the morning.
(And a long Monday ahead of me.)
I like classic style pinup pics.

Just Kidding!!!
Please [DEL]don't[/DEL] spoon me for that one, Thor.

You would need to be careful that you don't amputate something when using that weapon!Presenting the best tamborine for metal:

This actually reminded me of a post where I made fun of like 60% of TB. The question was "What are the first things you do when you score a new bass" and me being me...

Saucy - cheeky - terribly pervy in the best kind of way - that would be ME!
Yes, you did turn me around there on the finish, but that's okay. Sometimes it's fun to be led astray.Would you do it again if I asked nicely?
Oh, totally agree on it being nice to be led astray on occasion - and who could refuse when someone asks so nicely....
Ok, caught up with the last few pages from the busy weekend.
Auto - Hope everything turns out the best for you. Your friends are her eif you need us.
I vote WITH for a the CWB except for Tat's Chick. Without for her.
Tat, thanks for posting the vids. Will watch later at home!
Boobs Flash Everything is an EPIC WIN!
I would be in for a good game of bassistoply anytime.
FM - Great find on the Gio! Love the cheap find. Love the color! I am constantly checking Craigslist for the unloved basses.
In fact, I picked up a $20 POS bass from CL. It was a Silvertone bass (from Walmart I think). The thing had good bones, neck straight, nut intact, good vibe to it. But it looked like it had been used to roll funny cigs on it. Residue on bridge, just not loved and cared for. I told Mrs Wacko that I wanted it to take it apart to see how a bass worked. But then I played it. Even beat up something resonated in my soul. She saw the look in my eyes and knew I had a project. "It better not cost over 100.00 to fix that POS" was my warning from SWMBO. I took everything off, salvaged what I could (bridge, tuners) , found that a pot was bad, and a pickup was about to fall apart. I found a loaded pickguard from a MIM Fender P on fleabay ($40.00) New pup covers (4.00) and a set of roto 77 flats (28.00). I sanded her down, and was just going to rattlecan her, but I wanted to ask a friend of mine who painted cars on the side for some advice. He convinced me to have him paint it with some leftover candy red paint he had. The one caveat was that he had to wait until his 2 cars and one motorcycle project was complete. I said fine. That was in June. I got the neck back today and will get the body tomorrow!!!!!! Add $20.00 for paint (Cheap for his time) and I am at $112.00 including the initial cost for the bass. As it is not a frankenbass, I decided to re-brand it in my own way. I am going to have a local sign ship make me a transfer with a logo and the name "Poseidon" which has a special meaning for me because of my Dad that I will post some other time. But that is down the road because I am over budget. I showed the Mrs the neck (we work for the same company) and she asked me if I was going to sell it when put back together. 
I explained that with the time and process involved, plus the brand the bass was, it isn't worth what I have put into it monetarily, but it is worth much more to me emotionally. She understood, but then asked what am I going to do with three basses. Play them was my response. I will post later before pics and a pic with the headstock painted so you guys can see the color.
Sorry for rambling...

Please [DEL]don't[/DEL] spoon me for that one, Thor.
Best ... emoticon ... ever!
I immediately thought of two things and got confirmation that I one of the them was correct. Furry suggested my other guess, which is very close, but not quite correct.
I mean, very close ... as in RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

Here is the crappy cell phone pic of the headstock:
It really is a better red then my camera can show. Full body shot (of the bass) coming up tomorrow night after I put her back together!

Silvertone was from Sears. They used to have them in the catalog in the 60's. I think they were all Japanese production. There are a lot of TB'ers more knowledgeable that me on classic MIJ factories, so post up in the Basses section when you get a chance and post the results. I am afraid to enter that subforum for reasons I am sure you all understand.
Currently working my way through the Swirling Dark Mist of Monday Morning. Hope to come out the other side with the Crystal Clarity of the Evening Star.
Played my Danelectro HoDad yesterday. I had forgetten how good that bass sounds. It's pretty much all plastic. Lipstick pickups. (smooch) Three of them, no less.
Spent the weekend fixing the rot in a basement window. Not done trimming it off, but the substrate rot is cured for now. I think I just saved myself 3000 bucks I didn't have.
As your Thorinator, I expect to get copied on PM's that are inappropriate for posting. I think I at least deserve some reward for putting up with all of you.
Where is that pesky Chuck and the T-shirt I wanted? Hmmm
Where is that spoon smiley when you need it.

I wish this was a classic Sears Silvertone. Based on the serial number, this for sure is the s***y plywood 2009 Silvertone. Bad wood (If you believe in all that tonewood stuff, but that's not for this forum, as we are more concerned for the best wood for spooning), bad electronics, but you cant value my experience so far refi'ing her and the mojo she's got!
