Yep. Bridge pickup4lyfe. Until I want to play the P 
Once you get stick down, you'll love it. MK3 models are fantastic. Let me know if you ever have any questions, especially if it's the 2.0 engine.
(Edit) I should mention that my wife's 97 cabrio (essentially the same thing as a 96 jetta with a shorter trunk and convertible), is pushing 250,000 miles. These cars can run forever with some basic maintenance and a little work here and there. Get a haynes or bently manual for it, you'll be set.
Yo, dudes. Been gone for a while. ORange TB1000 took a dump on me this week. Just shutdown mid practice and won't turn back on. No funky burning smells, or noises - just quit working. Gonna send it to orange, but I don't think the thing is registered, hope the warranty is still intact. Luckily should be cheap to ship since it's just a little guy.
Ship it to them. I used FedEx and think it was only like $22 bucks to ship my Terror 500 to them. I had no warranty and they still fixed and shipped it back for free. They also put brand new JJ tubes in it!
Thanks man! This is mostly the sort of thing I've been hearing. I really need to just jump on it. Stick is still just a little intimidating, I guess more or less for when I hit the city. Here in town and in the country on my way to work I'm not too worried. I suppose it's just a time/adjustment thing.
It really is, just drive without having the radio on for the first week or so. That way you can hear your shifts and work on perfecting them. You'll be comfortable with it in no time
Here's where I get into a bit of a sting....did you have a custom headcase on it? I'm removing the headcase before I send it, but wondering if it'll appear "modified" which will void any warranty. Should've had poopie loads of air flow, so it shouldn't have been a thermal shutdown from that, but how knows. Thanks for the heads up, btw.
Haha yea he is.
All of my friends who interact with him too are starting to catch on and avoid situations where he can ask. So I do need to say something so someone else doesn't freak out on him. He's a decent guy otherwise and drives a truck, but if he thinks we still owe him for the stuff he's carried for us he's insane.
The chick who introduced us said one time it's like he has money he could use but doesn't, then doesn't understand that other people's stuff cost money and they probably don't want to just give it away on a reoccurring basis if you don't need it. I've met quite a few people who are like this in my life and it's hard to get them to change, so you got to say something and evaluate how cool they are otherwise and hang out accordingly.
Yeah I took it out of the headcase to save on shipping and figured they wouldn't want to have to mess with the head case. I didn't completely put it all back together, I left the rubber feet off, but did but the top handle back on. I put in in the soft carrying case to help protect it in shipping. They never questioned me on airflow and I am sure they knew I had it in a case or something since no feet were on it. Edit, I think there are some known issues with the Terror series that Orange knows about but kindly and quietly fix them when they come back home to Orangeville.

Leeches, man, Leeches. Gotta ID them early and get them out of your life.
If I ever mention anything about a drummer, just assume it's cancelled.
Also, the wife and I have been enjoying some especially dark television while she edges closer and closer to going into labor. Fargo, The Strain and The Leftovers, all very enjoyable.

It's not even worth noting at this point lol. I have a functioning drum sequencing program that gets lots of compliments, maybe just time to start writing an album by myself and not worry about playing live until it's done. I also have a lot of building projects on the back burner, since I've been auditioning drummers for the past almost 6 months.
You are good programming drums, so you got that going for you. Might as well make good use of that talent.
My preference for a bass like that is a black pickguard, I did that on the junker Squier that I flipped last year, but of those two I like the tort better.
