Thoughts and prayers TeX..
What's your favorite? I m getting into ryes myself
Hey, what about the pickup dimensions and the pole pieces? The 44-94/02 J p'ups are neck position p'ups... did they make a larger one for the bridge position of your bass?
Oh... BTW, I love the look!
I would just like to say that buying a lakland 55-94 USA deluxe has completely ruined me on other basses. At this point I wish I had never bought it or sold it. Mostly sold it.
ugh!

Aha, a situation that MUST be remedied. I do believe there are a couple of lovely "vintage" 55-94's available in the usual places![]()
Caught that oneDing, ding, ding - Chicken dinna for the winna!
Yes, it's a custom pickup in the bridge position, thanks to Bo.
Thanks to everyone. She has a good Dr that did not want to take the chance in waiting. Luckily we have our kids already. This was caught with the annual well woman exam and the timing likely saved her life and a lot of chemo or radiation treatment. Please urge the women in your life to get their checkups. It could save their lives. This all happened in a period of 4 weeks, diagnosis to hysterectomy.
Doug, I'm a fan of George Stagg Bourbon, Bulleit Bourbon, and Pappy Van Winkle. But then again, if you do it right you don't taste anything after a few long swigs anyway!

Dammmmnnn!! nice! is that the ebony fretted fingerboard?

Prayers and good thoughts to you and your wife, Texan.We found out a couple of weeks ago that my wife had cervical cancer. The surgery was yesterday and I have not been able to sleep between hospital, kids and managing work via smart phone. The good news is that they are positive that they got everything out and that it had not spread. We are waiting on pathology to confirm.
So when we get pathology back, I'm drinking a bottle of whiskey either way.
