Uhm. Well, the answer very likely will be no, not even for that; but I can only tell that I think you have a pic there of something. All I read is "Even for..." I can't see pics--I'm old an blind--I can ohnly read text.

It's a picture of Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies, the idea being that you'd hear "one meeeellliooon dollars" in your head upon seeing it.

That's what I heard...

You didn't happen to buy that off of a guy in Edina did you?

I did. I think I see where this is going: either you're the seller, or you bought the other bass he had for sale, or I snatched it out from under you.

Good guess! I'm the one that bought the Jazz that he had for sale. Good price on it but if yours is anything like this one I can see what mean by its beat up but in an "interesting" kind of way. I don't think his son did an ounce of maintenance on them! I've never seen so many loose screws in my life and the truss rod nut was completely stripped. It can all be fixed but wow!

 

[kraigo]

For some reason I love 1x10's. Please do.

KO

There was discussion a while back where folks were talking about small 110 cabs ... any interest in seeing/trying one (or two) of the little Yamaha BBT110's? .. if so, I can bring them along ...

 

[burl0029]

Yeah, it's got plenty of scars and the neck had me worried for a bit. There was enough of a back bow that frets 1-4 all buzzed. I tried loosening the trussrod, but that didn't get me very far. The bass was strung with very light gauge strings, so I slapped some old flats on it that were much heavier and it straightened it out pretty well. We'll see where the neck settles after the flats have been on there awhile.

An I the only one who didn't realize that its the superbowl on Sunday? My attendance will be uncertain now.

 

[rickl289]

Jonny, I thought someone said this earlier and Timmy wants to start Rumbl's talk early so there are hints of other activities on Sunday.

I hope to see you tonight at Arizona's.

Yeah Dave and I totally spaced that there was a game that day when we set the date.

I will have the TV on so we can keep score.

If the Vikings, Packers or the Bears are not in the game game who cares anyway.....

 

[carl h.]

Has a timeline of events been set up yet?

Those of us traveling would be aided in knowing what we might be missing if we arrive too late.

 

[aetheriac]

I'll probably have to duck out early due to prior SB related engagments.... but still plan on attending.

 

[hdracer]

I just checked and the game doesn't start until 6:00 pm.

I Will be at the shop around 9:00 setting up.
We can start earlier if we want to.

 

[ExaltBass]

I'll be there early for setup too. I'd be OK with a one hour shift earlier 1-3 PM if that works better. I was not even considering the SB when we picked the date. Other opinions??? Votes?

 

[rickl289]

I wont be there at 9am (gig at the Hex Saturday night!) but I'll try to be there around noon. I will bring some homebrew so come early!

 

[gurensan]

9am? That early? Wow. I figured since we're all bass players there would be no consciousness before 11...
