This very temporary headstock mod didn't really affect playability at all, but it did convince our protagonist to dive into the great underwater park, setting into motion the under-the-ocean musical we performed at our annual volunteer celebration in the Santa Cruz District of California State Parks. After all the gear I have acquired at some expense in the past year and a half since I took my own deep dive back into the low end, it was the Ibanez Mikro I received as a surprise gift and the vintage Peavey TKO I got for next to nothing that got me through the best attended (and best paid) gig of my very part-time musical career to date! Our set featured reworked versions of the Beatles' "Octopus's Garden" and Jimmy Buffett's "Volcano," made plenty challenging not so much by the trident headstock, but instead by insufficient practice and by remnants of the green paste in my mane making my fingers sticky. An overall strong performance from the rest of the cast, along with the forgiving nature of our very friendly audience, helped gloss over any gaps in my individual performance as Ranger Merman; a good time was had by all.
