I walked into a pawn shop today. Always hoping to find an old Fender bass. No Fender but they had a Warwick Corvette bubinga. Wanted 900, thats no big deal. Need a setup badly.

Gotta share this somewhere.
There's a post in the HuffPost about a test email accidentally sent out to part of their mailing list by HBOMax that has a bunch of reactions via Twitter.
First, HBOMax's original announcement.
We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really. And we’re helping them through it.
Now, my favorite response.
Dear Intern, when I was 25 I made a PDF assigning each employee to the Muppet they reminded me of the most. I meant to send it to my work friend, but I accidentally sent it to the entire company. My supervisor (Beaker) wanted to fire me, but the owners (Bert & Ernie) intervened.

Bert and Ernie knew what was good for the brand...

Let's see. Where can I get a stethoscope? Oh yeah, from Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive!
That was an entertaining movie.
Nah. They wanted 899 bucks for it. The action was an eighth of an inch. I googled and you can buy em all day long around that price so it wasn't some great deal. Remember I have a 2020 Geddy Lee USA Jazz. Who needs some weird wood erect thumb lookin thing?

That’s such a nice bass. Are the white inlays hard to see on the maple fretboard?
It was. It kind of reminded me of another good one, The Commitments.
Those things are the only thing I dislike about this bass. They aren't white, more of a yellowed 20 year old linoleum look that doesn't match the(replaced) white pearloid guard. Thus my quest for a black block inlay neck. Which I cannot find.

A good luthier can inlay new black markers. Maybe the Fender Custom shop can do it, or sell you a neck. Asking won't cost you anything. Tell them that Geddy sent you.

Yeah, we called it The Awful Waffle. There were a couple attached to truck stops back when I was driving 18's. Always crowded. Coffee was good, food was...available. At 3AM, that matters.
Waffle revenge when a few hours later your gut starts to act up.

Custom Shop won't sell a neck only.
I got a job washing dishes at a WH a couple blocks from home when I was 14 or 15, new guy got graveyard shift. The clientele coming in after midnight was interesting, and sometimes terrifying.

Oh well done, you!
so grateful I wasn't drinking anything when I read this post
... there are breakfast carbs I can tolerate and there are ones I [can't / won't / both] like waffles.
Even pass on waffle cone ice cream. Plain cone.On site saw what used to be a White Castle that failed, replaced by "Fish Castle"
Why, thank you. That could be the short term plan. I am loathe to modify the factory neck, but this could save my eyes from the abomination...
