You got nothin' on me. I have the heart of a young boy.
I keep it in a jar of formaldehyde in a closet upstairs...
Stop or I'll post that pic of you with your exposed melon singing the theme song from The Addams Family.
We have to stop allowing cameras at the meetings.
Second that motion. With all the stupidity that goes on if we ever run for political office we'd certainly win if it ever gets out.

For me no, one was plenty, I've had a '73 P, '78 Jazz and an Aerodyne PJ in the past, after 3 tries I can safely say 7enders are not for me. (I am much, much more a Gibson Gurl and likely always have been, their basses have always excited me, I still need a really nice EB3, and dammit, I miss my 4001 Rick!) - I don't mean that as anything bad, I know lots of us here play and enjoy Fender basses. Life is far too short to worry about such things, we should all play what we love - and love what we play. Not my words, but I wish they were.
I’m not a fan of 7ender treble or base geetars, and I’m not sad about it.
Rickenbacker and Gibson got me covered for basses, and give me a DC treble geetar and I’m in hog heaven, although I no longer live in Nebraska.
I do have a gold top, maple capped, mahogany set neck telecaster that I love dearly…. but I don’t like Les Pauls..

treble geetar isn’t somewhere I want to be fretless… not even remotely interested in trying it…
base geetar just seems natural fretless…
Thx Boby!
Wasn't my band, just one I was in.
I should've mentioned this, was from circa '96.
I did other things up until 2007.
After my mom passed away, I left PDX to come back to NY.
Now I wanna leave NY.
What’s the story on that Les Caster?
for quite a few years now 7ender has been making double humbucker set neck telecasters.
each year the pickups and finish are different. This is the only year they did a gold top. I don’t remember what year it is maybe it’s a 2007?
this one has a Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge and PAF pro in the neck.
I need to go to bed…
Fedex finally delivered on time, but the Wanderlust Green Epiphone Embassy I have had on order since 3/12/21 is junk.
I exploded the pics they sent me and I can see the scrape mark on the upper bout, and the very discolored fingerprints (almost rusty) on the claw and bridge. Scuffs on the edges of the bridge pickup.The plastic is still on the pickguard, but it looks like someone was using a hacksaw as a pick.
those things were kind of irritating, but I can remove the plastic on the pickguard, polish off the fingerprints, and scuffs, and buff out the finish scratch.
I wasn’t even going to fret about it.
Then I went to set it up with the stock strings.
action way too high, with the bridge bottomed out.
pickups lowered as far as they can go, and they are WAY too high.
I could cut the saddles to lower the action, BUT with the pickups bottomed out, the strings would be on the pickups.
my other embassy is pretty much perfect and it was purchased as a Demo model.
I had it out of the box less than an hour and a half. It’s already boxed up and ready to return, pretty shaging disgusted right now…

My new switch showed up quick. That’s the good news. Bad news is I’ll have to break out a soldering iron.
well, that sucks. Sorry to hear it
I don’t play guitar anymore, gave it up about 10 years ago when my arthritis started getting worse. However I still have some of my guitars (probably gonna go on the block soon, just gathering dust now).
My two favorites…
Fender Blacktop Strat
Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II
Hate to like this, but it is a nice color.
I did a few minutes ago-or we talkin' 'bout sumpin' else.
