Animals generally don't like 'cameras'.

Say what?

Hey GOF's. I need some help! :help: I have an older Ibanez P style bass and I'm trying to upgrade the pickup and tone pots. I posted a thread. Can someone come by and give me some advice on this?

Thanks guys! Here's the link: Ibanez SR100 P bass-- a Bartolini 8SU "Deep" pickup?
If you wanted to make it fly or weaponize it, I might have something useful to add, but in this case I'll just sit back and learn along with you from our more knowledgeable colleagues in this area. :)
 
I find that they seem to know and pose. They hear the click and walk away. Or in Charlie's case fly away.

Actually, the Scrub Jays are perfectly happy to work for peanuts. But I'm not the boss in my yard, for sure.
 
OK, maybe it's me. I grab the phone, camera, whatever to get a cute or interesting shot and the critter leaves or rolls over.:banghead:

As David said, bribery works. Or just catch then when they're young and dumb:

On the subject of P-Bass pickups, I truly know nothing. Beyond that, passive basses are just really not my thing at all. But of course both those things are extremely popular (and for good reason!) and I'm sure you'll get plenty of informed opinions.

My '85 Firebird got popped a few years ago. Damage estimates came to around $1500. The girl that hit its insurance company called me about a week later. They told me that due to the age of the car , they could give me $500 and take the car. I politely told them that the car was registered as Historic and that they WOULD fix it. I gave them a choice of sending me a check for the total repair costs or me suing them for total repair costs , a rental car while it was being repaired and all related attorneys fees. I received a check for $1900 about a week later. Thank goodness Maryland isn't a no fault state. It had zero effect on MY insurance. If you have an old car , register it as historic or antique. In most cases , if registered as such , they have to be fixed.
