thank god for bikers….they have no problem paying well for live music….we play at their “churches” often….Boozefighters, Ghost Mountain Riders, Top Hatters and of course…..oh wait! can’t say!…

They like to party too.

I wish there was a source that had sheet music, with lyrics, and tabs all on the same sheet. Then you get notes, timing, and the extra timing help with the lyrics. I'm sure it is there, but likely expensive on a per song basis.

I use Music Notes for sheet music. There are (depends on the song) a number of different presentations available. Some are a lead sheet. Some include treble & bass notations both, some have that plus trumpet (or whatever) parts, sometimes 5 or 6 different views on each bar.

Rosetta stone…

Sr Rosetta Stone? She sang Hound Dog didn’t she?

I amused myself, don’t mind me

Thanks Jeff!

You really have so much talent man.
Your photography, now the welding.

That damn smart brain of yours, like a steel trap too.
I already know you can play bass.

There's a lot more.

Once, as in past tense?


Hi Will! Remember me? How come you don't answer my calls?

I used an OLFA snap-blade and skimmed/flat-bladed it off - easy and super clean. I did something similar to Goth hs's bevels which were all slightly different. I've made this observation here before, but the Epi Goth was made in a few different factories, each with their own interpretation of how the bevel should be. The one I posted is the widest and easiest to flat-blade.

Teiscobird II had a thinner, less flat bevel. (and narrower nut & shallower profile) I did my red finish over the matte-black and scraping the bevel exposed the black as a detail.

So why do you specifically target Goth necks compared to the other bolt on TBirds necks?

My Teiscobird has that neck - baseball bat profile, but it works for me.

T seems J
How about customized as "Jiobird"?

Frankly they were very affordable for awhile and a matte finish is easier to manipulate re-finish-wise than a gloss neck. The first one I got which ended up on the Teiscobird has a lovely fb with reddish-brown graining. I painted the Teisco influenced 'dash' markers. Everything's doubled in price lately.

It has a nice ring to it...

Wanting to try some SIT Power Steels on the NR, ran across some David Ellefson Sig Series NPS Power Wounds for $14.95 total. SIT needs to hire a PR person to write descriptions for some of their products. They at times have the most unhelpful descriptions. From what I found elsewhere they seem to have more upper mids, especially on the D and G. Not sure what all that will turn out to sound like, but I figured it was worth a shot at $15.

 

[MCF]

sounds like you want one too….

Of course.

Gots to agree on their descriptions. I bought their "flats"("Silencers"), which turned out to be what they call "compression wound". They're going to exchange them for a set of "Powerflats" per emails. Good c.s. afaic.

That's great. Glad they're working with you. Guess that's why they were rough feeling!

In reading reviews on the set I bought I ran across a couple people who ordered on set and got another.

This what you mean? There are lots of choices.

Just shows how much they’ve gone up in six years.

 

[MCF]

I saw that earlier. I don't really consider that VG condition; those blemishes aren't all so minor.

Do those look like original pickups?

I was wondering about the pickups too.

I think every time someone here types they go up.
